I made a fork here:

https://github.com/lukaskurz/background_location/tree/master

This fork contains fixes for both the issues mentioned by @LukasP94 as well as the issues found in the other fork described by @sisalik1 .

I tested it on emulator with API 34 as well as API 29/30 on device, so it should work with both before/after API 33 changes.

[nzackoya]

How this issue still hangs here, there are solution suggestions and so many developers needs this. Do you still maintain this package @Almoullim ?

[nzackoya]

@BWMuller thanks man

[darkrevenger]

Hey guys, any news on the fix?

[BWMuller]

@nzackoya @darkrevenger Currently the main issue with this repo being updated is the lack of independent verification of PRs. I know that this SDK34 issue is fixed in #208 as I haven't experienced it myself in my own prod deployed application.

I haven't managed to get a UI test to work where it successfully grants the permissions required and does a mock location event as the independent test. If anyone here has experience in that please give it a try so that we can have a easier update cycles.

Alternatively have a look at the PR, test it on your side and add a comment there if you found any issues. That way "independent" would just change to multiple external people vouching instead which should make it easier for @MoralCode to verify

[nzackoya]

@BWMuller seems the fix has been merged already, I just noticed, it is on master branch already, but not released to pub.dev. Tried the lates code from the master branch, the issue is fixed, works fine so far, not sure if it need some more tests. I guess it just needs a release to pub.dev

[Hamza-Ayed]

add these permission





use this fork

background_location:
    git:
      url: https://github.com/dharmik-dalwadi-seaflux/background_location.git
      ref: master

then it will work and make sure to use like this class

class LocationBackgroundController extends GetxController {
  @override
  void onInit() {
    super.onInit();
    requestLocationPermission();
  }

  Future<void> requestLocationPermission() async {
    var status = await Permission.locationAlways.status;
    if (!status.isGranted) {
      status = await Permission.locationAlways.request();
    }

    if (status.isGranted) {
      configureBackgroundLocation();
    } else {
      // Handle permission denial
      print("Location permission denied");
    }
  }

  Future<void> configureBackgroundLocation() async {
    await BackgroundLocation.setAndroidNotification(
      title: "Background Location",
      message: "Tracking location...",
      icon: "@mipmap/ic_launcher",
    );

    // Set the location update interval to 5 seconds
    BackgroundLocation.setAndroidConfiguration(5000);
    BackgroundLocation.startLocationService();

    BackgroundLocation.getLocationUpdates((location) {
      // Handle location updates here
      print("Latitude: ${location.latitude}, Longitude: ${location.longitude}");
    });

    startBackLocation();
  }

  void startBackLocation() async {
    Timer.periodic(const Duration(seconds: 5), (timer) async {
      await getBackgroundLocation();
    });
  }

  Future<void> getBackgroundLocation() async {
    var status = await Permission.locationAlways.status;
    if (status.isGranted) {
      // The location service is already started in configureBackgroundLocation
      // No need to call startLocationService again
      BackgroundLocation.getLocationUpdates((location) {
        // Handle location updates here
        print(
            "Latitude: ${location.latitude}, Longitude: ${location.longitude}");
      });
    } else {
      // Request permission if not granted
      await Permission.locationAlways.request();
    }
  }
}

@BWMuller seems the fix has been merged already, I just noticed, it is on master branch already, but not released to pub.dev. Tried the lates code from the master branch, the issue is fixed, works fine so far, not sure if it need some more tests. I guess it just needs a release to pub.dev

Unfortunately i dont have access to pub.dev. If the fix for this is already on main i can make a "pending release" tag to make the status clearer. Ill go do that

[KarinBerg]

Some hint for publishing a new version for a existing app with the above changes via Google Play Store:

I have a automated build pipeline which pblish my app into the internal test track in Google Play Store.

After consuming the master branch of "background_location" in my app and try to publish this in Playstore, I got the error: "You must let us know whether your app uses any Foreground Service permissions.".

The only way I found to solve this, is to manually upload the aab file to the track. Only then I got a new policy declaration entry in "App content" section where I have to explain why my app needs the foreground service.

[xunreal75]

It's not related to the issue above.

You can find a notification service called in foreground in LocationUpdateService.kt

Therefore you must add ForgroundService declaration.
