SDK: 38 & 39
System: Android
Background-location was working in SDK37.
In SDK38 it started crashing on devices with system older than android 10.
Some folks from expo assured, that it will be fixed in SDK39.
After SDK39 release it’s even worse, because now background-location is not working also on android 10.
To upload new app build to Google Play Store, we need to use SDK38 or 39, because older versions are not compatible with android api29 (or sth like this).
Background-location is crashing on SDK38 and 39 (works only on 37).
There are a lot of topics related to this issue and there are assurances, that it will be fixed in SDK39.
What we have to do right now?
I have been waiting for more than month for SDK39, but now i’m hopeless…
The new version of my app has to be released by the end of August and so far I have trusted that it’s gonna be fixed, and now I don’t know what to do.
Client is mad, i’m not sure I can config whole app in bare workflow, I’m totally crushed
Expo docs still says it works
Is it possible just to say ‘ok we can fix this’ or ‘nah it won’t be fixed in managed workflow’ or sth like that?
