Project is Dead? (only supported)

[reslear]

The company has shown no activity here for the past four months, aside from some community PR efforts. Is it fair to assume the project is dead?

Update Aug 2024 - Last week, the project was updated to Capacitor 6 https://github.com/ionic-team/capacitor-google-maps/pull/33, but there’s no sign of active development or new features at the moment.
