Description
Your Environment

- Platform: Both
- OS version:
- Device manufacturer / model: iPhone8, Samsung S10
- React Native version (
react-native -v): 0.63.3 - Plugin config
BackgroundGeolocation.onLocation(onLocation, onError);
BackgroundGeolocation.onMotionChange(onMotionChange);
BackgroundGeolocation.onActivityChange(onActivityChange);
BackgroundGeolocation.onProviderChange(onProviderChange);
BackgroundGeolocation.ready({
// Geolocation Config
desiredAccuracy: BackgroundGeolocation.DESIRED_ACCURACY_HIGH,
distanceFilter: 10,
// Activity Recognition
stopTimeout: 1,
// Application config
debug: false, // <-- enable this hear sounds for background-geolocation life-cycle.
logLevel: BackgroundGeolocation.LOG_LEVEL_VERBOSE,
stopOnTerminate: false, // <-- Allow the background-service to continue tracking when user closes the app.
startOnBoot: false, // <-- Auto start tracking when device is powered-up.
// HTTP / SQLite config
url: 'http://yourserver.com/locations',
batchSync: false, // <-- [Default: false] Set true to sync locations to server in a single HTTP request.
autoSync: true, // <-- [Default: true] Set true to sync each location to server as it arrives.
headers: { // <-- Optional HTTP headers
'X-FOO': 'bar'
},
params: { // <-- Optional HTTP params
'auth_token': 'maybe_your_server_authenticates_via_token_YES?'

}, (state) => {
console.log('- BackgroundGeolocation is configured and ready: ', state.enabled);
// if (!state.enabled) {
// BackgroundGeolocation.start(function () {
// console.log('- Start success');
// });

});
Expected Behavior
Service should not automatically start on app init/startup
Actual Behavior
App does start, even if startOnBoot: false and I comment out the success Background

Research direction
Start with the shown BackgroundGeolocation.ready configuration and reproduce the startup behavior on iOS and Android. Capture the platform logs requested in the issue and compare service state before and after ready. Done means the service remains stopped at app startup when startOnBoot is false and no explicit start is called.
