        BackgroundGeolocation.start();
      });

Expected Behavior

The background location tracking feature was working as expected before this issue began.

Actual Behavior

Background location tracking is not functioning; only foreground location updates are being received.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Verified that location permissions are correctly set
   2.Confirmed no recent changes to the location-related code
2. Restarted both the app and device, but the issue remains unresolved.

disableMotionActivityUpdates: true,

Without the Motion API to determine when the device is moving, you are relying only upon a geofence around the last known position to determine when the device is moving.

Why are you disabling the Motion API? You'll have much better performance if you don't disable that.

Hello @christocracy I have enable the Motion API, and Testing still not working, we can't change anything in code for BackgroundGeolocation file since last 2 month and it's working fine before, Is there any way to debug ?
