Not authorized to use background services in the managed flow.

  1. SDK Version: 40
  2. Platforms(Android/iOS/web/all): expo-cli on Android

I’m using expo-cli in the managed flow. I’m trying to get background location but when the app reaches await Location.startLocationUpdatesAsync(LOCATION_TASK_NAME, {
accuracy: Location.Accuracy.BalancedHighest,
timeInterval: 10000,
foregroundService: {
notificationTitle: “BackgroundLocation Is On”,
notificationBody: ‘To turn off, go back to the app and switch something off.’,
}});
it appears the following error:
Unhandled promise rejection: Error: Not authorized to use background location services.]
