I solved this by going to /Users/ad/MY COOL APP/node_modules/react-native-callkeep/android/src/main/java/io/wazo/callkeep/VoiceConnectionService.java and commenting out import static android.content.pm.ServiceInfo.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_TYPE_MICROPHONE; , and then replacing FOREGROUND_SERVICE_TYPE_MICROPHONE with 128 (which is what should get imported from the Android system).

Thanks @ajitdas123 for the report, which version of Android do you have ? With which version of the android sdk do you compile ?
We should maybe replace FOREGROUND_SERVICE_TYPE_MICROPHONE by 128 as suggested by @Pauligrinder for sdk <= 29.

I'm using these versions, if that helps:

buildToolsVersion = "29.0.2"
minSdkVersion = 16
compileSdkVersion = 29
targetSdkVersion = 29

Same issue here on Android, need a hot PR.

[stephanoparaskeva]

Same issue here

[MrHertal]

Same issue with Android SDK 29
I rolled back to 3.1.1

[jason-shen]

any update on this? i have the same issue

[manuquentin]

I'll publish a fix today

[jason-shen]

I'll publish a fix today

tested all works, also the setting of build.gradle has to be that as well

buildToolsVersion = '30'
minSdkVersion = 27
compileSdkVersion = 30
targetSdkVersion = 30

or else the forgroudServiceType won't work on anything lower than 30.

i am trying on a note10 5g, its on android 10, but this was needed to get access to the mic when the app is killed and locked

cheers for the fix @manuquentin

[manuquentin]

Fixed in 4.0.1
