could not invoke backgroundgeolocation.start

[Muneeb1998]

I faced this issue when I import the background geolocation library and RN Google Maps library. Both work fine separtely

here is my build.gradle

`// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.

buildscript {
ext {
buildToolsVersion = "30.0.2"
minSdkVersion = 21
compileSdkVersion = 30
targetSdkVersion = 30
ndkVersion = "21.4.7075529"
googlePlayServicesVersion = "11.8.0"
gradle3EXPERIMENTAL = "yes"
}
repositories {
google()
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath("com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.2.2")
// NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
// in the individual module build.gradle files
}
}

allprojects {

• bundle directly from the development server. Below you can see all the possible configurations
