Execution failed for task ':react-native-background-timer:verifyReleaseResources' - while assembling for Release. Backgroundtimer doesn't get executed while app in on background.

See original GitHub issue

My problem is twofold.

In debug version - Building works propely but not executed when app is on background but only when it is on foreground.
In release version - While building it throws the following error.
