License Key

If you've purchased a license, add your license key to the AndroidManifest.xml. If you haven't purchased a key, the SDK is fully functional in debug builds so you can try before you buy.

📂 android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.transistorsoft.backgroundgeolocation.react">

  <application
    android:name=".MainApplication"
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
