General
1

Hi, I have some problem with Backendless Push Service in android Oreo.
According android documentation (Background Execution Limits https://developer.android.com/about/versions/oreo/background.html) I can’t register my BackendlessCustomPushReceiver in manifest anymore.
How can I handle this issue?

Regards,
Roman

Hi, Roman.
We’ve made changes in our Android sdk. Please use new version of library.

// [url=https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.backendless/backendless]https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.backendless/backendless[/url]
compile group: 'com.backendless', name: 'backendless', version: '4.4.2'

Please, take into account that due to the new services start limitations in Android Oreo, you must declare permission for binding service.

 <service android:name=".PushService" 
 android:permission="android.permission.BIND_JOB_SERVICE"> 
 &lt;/service&gt;


// where PushService - is your service that extends com.backendless.push.BackendlessPushService
