[pavansha]

we are getting the issue while making android builds in the newer node module version
so please look into this issue as soon as possible

our founding
we found out that common folders both in android and ios were missing while npm install so we replace from already exist project node module and it's working fine

so please review this issue as soon as possible

'...react-native-background-geolocation/android/common/VERSIONS.gradle' as it does not exist.
You can fix the VERSIONS.gradle issue by adding the common repository as a submodule.

In the modules package.json I added to the scripts section:

{
    "scripts": {
        "preinstall": "git init && git submodule add https://github.com/darron1217/background-geolocation-android android/common"
    }
}

While it's very much a band-aid solution and likely to break with a future release, I hope this helps!
