null is not an object (evaluating 'RNBackgroundTimer.setTimeout') - RN version 0.60.4

I am continually getting this error thrown and it stops the background timer from working on Android. It works no issues on iOS however.

I am not using the setTimeout function at all, I am using BackgroundTimer.setInterval if the platform is Android and using BackgroundTimer.runBackgroundTimer for iOS as even though it says it is cross platform, it only seemed to work for iOS.

React Native version: 0.60.4 React: 16.9.0 react-native-background-timer: 2.1.1

I have tried manually linking as the readme suggests, but this did not resolve the issue. Any help would be much appreciated.

passiveMode = () => {
    if (this.platform == 'ios') {
      BackgroundTimer.runBackgroundTimer(() => {
        this.main()
      }, 6000);
    } else {
      this.bgIntFunc = BackgroundTimer.setInterval(() => {
        this.main()
      }, 6000);
    }
    this.active = false
  }

As soon as the setInterval function gets called, the error is thrown and all the functionality stops for the background timer.

Try

rm package-lock.json || true && npm i && cd ios && rm -rf Pods || true && rm Podfile.lock || true && pod install && cd ../

I’m also facing this problem although I already followed the README (manual linking included) 😦
