Current behavior:
v2 version does not work properly on new Android version:
mauron85/cordova-plugin-background-geolocation#493 (comment)

Expected behavior:
Implement v3 plugin

Since the cordova plugin background geolocation will not work in Oreo when the package point at 2.X branch. Please make changes and point at 3.0 alpha branch

Our app also needs V3 of Cordova plugin of background geolocation

@rodrigoords , Meanwhile did you find any other workaround to use v3 of cordova plugin

[rodrigoords]

No, i tried to use Capacitor to create interface but without success.

[knvpk]

Im directly using the BackgroundGeoLocation Plugin with out ionic, it can be accessible via window object.

[rodrigoords]

Can you give some code example plz

[shyaaam]

I cant seem to find this plugin under window['cordova'].plugins. I can see all my other plugins but not this one. I had installed the latest 3.0.0 alpha 45 version.

[knvpk]

Sorry, it will not came under window object you can directly access the variable, if typescript shows that an error just declare it globally
declare var BackgroundGeolocation: any;

And use it as normal as specified in the documentation like
BackgroundGeolocation.start();

Also no need to put this in the construtor or ngOnInit

[rodrigoords]

Work like a charm... thanks
