Did you:

Actually, let’s try a trick I learned from my flutter version.

Manually edit the react-native-background-geolocation .podspec: node_modules/react-native-background-geolocation/RNBackgroundGeolocation.podspec

.
.
.
Pod::Spec.new do |s|
  .
  .
  .
+s.static_framework = true
end

$ cd ios
$ pod install

Adding s.static_framework = true to background-geolocation.podspec should allow it to work with use_frameworks!

Do an XCode -> Product -> Clean
Restart XCode.
