[@nativescript/background-http] packagename - illegal argument exception

[ahsih]

Issue Description

Hi guys,

When I try to use your background http to upload a file,

I noticed I am getting : Exception java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to create service net.gotev.uploadservice.UploadService: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: You have to set namespace to your app package name (context.packageName) in your Application subclass at android.app.ActivityThread.handleCreateService (ActivityThread.java:5086) at android.app.ActivityThread.-$$Nest$mhandleCreateService at android.app.ActivityThread$H.handleMessage (ActivityThread.java:2428) at android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage (Handler.java:106) at android.os.Looper.loopOnce (Looper.java:226) at android.os.Looper.loop (Looper.java:313) at android.app.ActivityThread.main (ActivityThread.java:8757) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke at com.android.internal.os.RuntimeInit$MethodAndArgsCaller.run (RuntimeInit.java:571) at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main (ZygoteInit.java:1067) Caused by java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: You have to set namespace to your app package name (context.packageName) in your Application subclass at net.gotev.uploadservice.UploadServiceConfig.getNamespace (UploadServiceConfig.kt:74) at net.gotev.uploadservice.UploadServiceConfig.getBroadcastNotificationAction (UploadServiceConfig.kt:234) at net.gotev.uploadservice.UploadServiceConfig.getBroadcastNotificationActionIntentFilter (UploadServiceConfig.kt:248) at net.gotev.uploadservice.observer.request.NotificationActionsObserver.register (NotificationActionsObserver.kt:31) at net.gotev.uploadservice.UploadService.onCreate (UploadService.kt:194) at android.app.ActivityThread.handleCreateService (ActivityThread.java:5073)

This is because in this file: https://github.com/NativeScript/plugins/blob/main/packages/background-http/index.android.ts line 30, we pass in the Utils.android.getApplication() but the inner method is looking for Utils.android.getApplication().packageName, whereas we get the packageName by Utils.android.getApplication().getPackageName() which can be null/empty, not sure if this is a bug?

Reproduction

1. uploadFile
2. close the app and reopen
3. app crash.

I have started seeing this error recently as well (in Crashlytics). Android versions 10, 12, 13 A lot of Galaxy devices, but that could just be a popular brand for our users (S23, A13, S21, S20, S22, etc). Some other manufacturers as well.

This is not ALL android users. And I would suspect not every upload even for these users, but some condition must trigger it.

Fatal Exception: java.lang.RuntimeException

I'm also trying to get background-http working again in an app and am getting: JS: CONSOLE ERROR: ERROR Error: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: You have to set namespace to your app package name (context.packageName) in your Application subclass

You need to call init before using the plugin
