BackgroundGeolocation plugin not installed ionic V3

Ionic Native
1

Hello ,i’m facing a strange ERROR when i try to fire the backgroundGeolocation.configure it throws

app-scripts] plugin is not installed.
[app-scripts] [13:31:25] console.warn: Install the BackgroundGeolocation plugin: ‘ionic cordova plugin add
[app-scripts] cordova-plugin-mauron85-background-geolocation@alpha’
tried calling BackgroundGeolocation.start, but the BackgroundGeolocation plugin is not installed

even if the pluging is intalled :

ionic cordova plugins ls
cordova plugin ls
cordova-plugin-mauron85-background-geolocation 2.3.6 “CDVBackgroundGeolocation”

my code :

map: GoogleMap;
  config: BackgroundGeolocationConfig = {
    desiredAccuracy: 10,
    stationaryRadius: 20,
    distanceFilter: 30,
    debug: true, //  enable this hear sounds for background-geolocation life-cycle.
    stopOnTerminate: false, // enable this to clear background location settings when the app terminates
  };
  
  constructor(private backgroundGeolocation: BackgroundGeolocation) {
    this.backgroundGeolocation.configure(this.config)
      .then((location: BackgroundGeolocationResponse) => {

        console.log(location);

        this.backgroundGeolocation.finish();

      })
      .catch((error) => {
        console.error(error)
      })

  }

  startTrackingUser() {
    // start recording location
    this.backgroundGeolocation.start();
  }

P.S: in documentation backGroundGeolocation.configure(configure) returns an Observable but when i installed the plugin find out thet it returns a promise .i think the doc is not updated

my ionic info :

I am getting the same error and experiencing similar logs as shown by ‘ilfo’, the original topic creator. I am following the same steps as outlined by ‘ilfo’.

I am using ionic 4.

Can Ionic team comment on this. Ionic 4 is not in beta anymore. The plugins should be not be out of sync to this level.
