Issue details posted originally here: https://github.com/driftyco/ionic-native/issues/752 and Ionic team says it’s this plugin’s issue.

When I generate a new starter project: ionic start test-project --v2 and add the BackgroundGeolocation plugin from Ionic Native: ionic plugin add cordova-plugin-mauron85-background-geolocation the android build: ionic build android fails with this error:

Please let me know how to fix this, as the plugin is not usable for me at the moment and I need it in my project.

Thanks!
