Actual Behavior

BackgroundGeolocation.ready crashes only on iOS and getting the following error: Error: "BackgroundGeolocation.ready()" is not implemented on ios CapacitorException — index.js:85 (anonymous function) — index.js:202 onInvoke — core.mjs:14697 run — zone.js:129 (anonymous function) — zone.js:1257 onInvokeTask — core.mjs:14374 onInvokeTask — core.mjs:14684 runTask — zone.js:173 drainMicroTaskQueue — zone.js:581 promiseReactionJob

Context

Im trying to use the library capacitor-background-geolocation in my Capacitor project, so I did all the setup for iOS and Android of the libraries capacitor-background-fetch and capacitor-background-geolocation and used it in my project but for some reason in Android works completely perfect but in iOS it crashes on the BackgroundGeolocation.ready method giving me the error "BackgroundGeolocation.ready()" is not implemented on ios. I don't know if i am missing something in the configuration of the ready or maybe I need a license code in iOS? This is the code that im trying to execute:

BackgroundGeolocation.ready()" is not implemented on ios

Your Capacitor app thinks the plug-in isn’t installed, so go back and follow the Setup Instructions again,

I followed all the steps for both libraries (geolocation and fetch) and checked them again three times and everything seems to be correct. The backgroundModes, the info.plist, the PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy and the AppDelegate all are changed as the instructions say.

[christocracy]

Did you run $ npx cap sync?

[Madserker]

Yes, also cleaned the project, deleted derived data, did pod deintegrate and pod install, and nothing seems to work

[christocracy]

show me the result of:

npm uninstall @transistorsoft/capacitor-background-geolocation
npm install @transistorsoft/capacitor-background-geolocation

I created a simple hello-world app and everything worked fine.

I also just released Capacitor v6 updates for both @transistorsoft/capacitor-background-fetch and @transistorsoft/capacitor-background-geolocation

[Madserker]

Hello! I tried this and same result:

npm uninstall @transistorsoft/capacitor-background-geolocation
npm install @transistorsoft/capacitor-background-geolocation

Tried also with the new version 6.0.0 and nothing.

But your example/angular code is working fine in iOS to me, so I must have surely something different. But I still can't figure it out what it is. I checked everything in xCode. Could it be related to the bundle ID and singing and the license key? cause i still don't have license key yet but im launching it in Debug mode.

Could it be related to the bundle ID and singing and the license key?

No.

create yourself a simple “hello-world” app to practice setting up and using the plug-in.
