iOS Installation with react-native link

react-native <= 0.59

With yarn

yarn add https://github.com/transistorsoft/react-native-background-geolocation-android.git

With npm

npm install git+https://[email protected]:transistorsoft/react-native-background-geolocation-android.git --save

react-native link

react-native link react-native-background-geolocation-android
react-native link react-native-background-fetch

⚠️ For those not using Cocoapods (you should be), where your iOS app does not have a Podfile:

yarn add cocoa-lumberjack
// <or npm>
npm install cocoa-lumberjack

react-native link cocoa-lumberjack

The cocoa-lumberjack package is deprecated — it is no longer required when using Cocoapods. If you have cocoa-lumberjack installed and you're using Cocoapods, remove and unlink cocoa-lumberjack.
