Do I have to buy another one for the new version?

Why are you asking a licensing question on a random gist?

A How to Implement Article for implementing this in FlutterFlow Apps will be Greatly Appreciated.

@ravisvf how to implement plugins on FlutterFlow (there’s no magic, easy way): https://docs.flutterflow.io/customizing-your-app/manage-custom-code-in-github

Listen, I only want to get latitude and longitude in real time while the app is running in the background. Is this package suitable for that?

Why don’t you try it and see?

I already purchased the key for flutter_background_geolocation, but it still shows 'Location not available.

Tech support is not handled by posting at a Gist. Post an issue at the Github repo.
