Geofence on Ionic 4 with Cordova or Capacitor not working

[vancurengroup]

Hi friends!

Has anyone had any success implementing geofencing in Ionic 4 or Capacitor on Android? I have tried the three plugins below using Ionic 4 with Cordova and Android and then trying Ionic 4 with Capacitor.

It appears the one open-source Cordova Geofencing plugin does not work because of an outdated implementation.

For Capacitor the two plugins listed I can’t seem to get to work. The first has no additional code aside from the boilerplate echo method. The second, FancyGeo, will not work after registering in my MainActivity.java and importing into my component.

The three plugins in question are:

Cordova

cowbell/cordova-plugin-geofence

Capacitor

https://github.com/triniwiz/capacitor-fancy-geo

Have a great weekend!

Did you manage to make it work for iOs?

Im having trouble in iOs. The xcode gives me 300+ errors for the geofence plugin.

You can see my ionic info below.

*In android the plugin works just fine
