Place search not working on the web

Places search and the overall package does not work on the web

I also run into this issue.

@bazrafkan would be great to remove "web" tag from pub.dev. I also run into this issue, just wasted 2h to realize web is not supported :)

Does somebody know why it's not supported? I really needed it for the web. Does any body know any other solution?

As a workaround, here is what I ended up doing.

Instead of this package, I used this one that has less nullable fields in responses and also adds the ability to make requests through a proxy
I used the best answer in this SO post to deploy cors-anywhere to my heroku account
Then I used the baseUrl argument to go through the proxy on heroku:

    final places = new GoogleMapsPlaces(
        apiKey: googlePlacesApiKey,
        baseUrl: kIsWeb
            ? 'https://[heroku app name].herokuapp.com/https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api'
            : null,
      );

Note that you shouldn't use https://cors-anywhere.herokuapp.com as a proxy because it is a test set up, not meant to be used in real applications. I suspect that's why this proxy gets a FormatException.

Now supported web implementation in version 0.4.2

Instead of using this plugin, I created a utility class for Google places auto complete : https://arkapp.medium.com/flutter-and-google-map-for-beginners-part-1-fdba4ab22148
