Android Auto-linking Setup

react-native >= 0.60

With yarn

$ yarn add react-native-background-fetch

With npm

$ npm install --save react-native-background-fetch

Gradle Configuration

The SDK requires a custom maven url in the root android/build.gradle:

📂 android/build.gradle

allprojects {
    repositories {
        mavenLocal()
        maven {
            // All of React Native (JS, Obj-C sources, Android binaries) is installed from npm
            url("$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/android")
        }
        maven {
            // Android JSC is installed from npm
            url("$rootDir/../node_modules/jsc-android/dist")
        }
+       maven {
+           // react-native-background-fetch
+           url("${project(':react-native-background-fetch').projectDir}/libs")
+       }

    }
}

Configure proguard-rules.pro

If you're using minifyEnabled true with your Android release build, the plugin's HeadlessTask class will be mistakenly removed and you will have this crash.

1. Edit android/app/proguard-rules.pro.
2. Add the following rule:

# [react-native-background-fetch]
-keep class com.transistorsoft.rnbackgroundfetch.HeadlessTask { *; }
