Minimum SDK version#

In order to use the location plugin, you need to set the minimum SDK version to at least API level 21:

android/app/build.gradle

android {
    // ...
    defaultConfig {
      minSdk 21
      // ...
    }
}

Theme AppCompat#

In order to display dialogs for asking the user to activate the GPS automatically and redirect to the Settings page, you need to change the default theme of your app to Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar:

...
<style name="NormalTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
    <item name="android:windowBackground">?android:colorBackground</item>
</style>

In order to receive background location, you need to add the following permissions to your manifest:

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

  <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE" />
  <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION" />

  <application
    android:label="your awesome app"
