What do you require assistance about?

We are trying to implement the transistor services, we already follow the steps from the documentation, and we are making some tests in Debug mode, when we close our app or having it on second plane when we are on the same place without moving the terminal show some messages and it seems that transistor is working correctly, but when we start moving the debug pauses and crashes, we are making the debug tests on a physical device, but we are having that problem.

The physical device is a Samsung Galaxy A05. All the tests that I´ve made is on debug mode using the physical device that I already especified.

What can I do in that case? I´m making the tests on the free layer.

[Optional] Plugin Code and/or Config

bg.BackgroundGeolocation.onLocation((bg.Location location){

    });
    bg.BackgroundGeolocation.onMotionChange((bg.Location location){

    });
    bg.BackgroundGeolocation.onProviderChange((bg.ProviderChangeEvent event){

    });
    bg.BackgroundGeolocation.onActivityChange((bg.ActivityChangeEvent event){

    });
    bg.BackgroundGeolocation.onHeartbeat((bg.HeartbeatEvent event){

    });
    bg.BackgroundGeolocation.onGeofence((bg.GeofenceEvent event){

    });
    bg.BackgroundGeolocation.onGeofencesChange((bg.GeofencesChangeEvent event){

    });
    bg.BackgroundGeolocation.ready(bg.Config(
      desiredAccuracy : bg.Config.DESIRED_ACCURACY_HIGH,
      distanceFilter: 10.0,
      stopOnTerminate: false,
      startOnBoot: true,
      debug: true,
      logLevel: bg.Config.LOG_LEVEL_VERBOSE
    )).then((bg.State state){
      if(!state.enabled){
        bg.BackgroundGeolocation.start();
      }
    });


Some Messages that my terminal show when I locked the phone:

but when we start moving the debug pauses and crashes

What evidence do you have of a crash? When an app crashes, the first thing I do is fetch the stacktrace, showing exactly what crashed and where. There is always a stacktrace.

[EMorales-2025]

If I give you more details about the issue, it will be easier to you to find out the solution of the problem that I have? Maybe I can give you more details of the implementation that I already have in my project.

If you have a crash, provide the stacktrace. Otherwise, there’s no evidence that this plug-in is at fault (it could be your own code or some other plug-in responsible).

[EMorales-2025]

Ok, give me some time to make the test again and provide you the stacktrace, I have another question, Because in our company we have an API that Updates the Geolocation of our users, we already implement the transistor services in our project, when our users close the app or when they lock the phone, will still update the location of our users? That is the test that we also need to know if its going to work?, Because that is the main functionality that we will implement in our project from your services.

when our users close the app or when they lock the phone, will still update the location of our users?

See api docs Config.stopOnTerminate

What is your question about the logs you’ve shown?

The plug-in has its own built-in http service which can post to any url you wish. See api docs Configuration.url (also see “HTTP Guide”, linked throughout the api docs)
