If you use @ionic-native/google-maps, please tell the package.json (only @ionic-native/core and @ionic-native/google-maps are fine mostly)

Current behavior: I am trying to install the plugin and it shows that the plugin has been installed. However, I am unable to see the entry of the plugin in config.xml After running it on IOS, it shows me error saying "The variable GOOGLE-MAPS_IOS_API_KEY is not registered"

Expected behavior: The native google maps should work and to be shown in the screen.

I think you forgot to execute ionic cordova prepare

i have a similar few issues

1. when i try to install cocoapods to use native google maps y get this error :

2. and other times . y get de api key error

Now I'm stuck jumping between pods error and api key error,I do not know what to do. Some suggestion thanks

[wf9a5m75]

Pod error is not similar error at all. The reason of pod error might be that you don't install cocoapod. Try to install/upgrade the latest cocoapod, and also upgrade cordova and ionic cli, then ionic cordova platform remove ios and ionic cordova platform add ios.

After trying, even you can't solve the problem, please share your project files on github repository. I will inspect it.

Hi follow following steps to run google maps plugin on my ionic project. The google maps IOS api key error is due to recent changes by plugin. From now on you have to mention api key using preferences tag in config file. Also the key names have been changed. Please refer below link https://github.com/mapsplugin/cordova-plugin-googlemaps/blob/master/README.md#api-key-android-and-ios-platforms

Further more I also updates the Cocoapod using below command gem install cocoapod

After that I build my iOS platform and then inside that buIld iOS project folder I used below command pod update

Regards

@schagani Did you solve your problem?

[Corovino]

[schagani]

@schagani Did you solve your problem?

yes thanks :)

[Corovino]

@schagani how do u solved u bug, u can give me a hand i´m stuck

[wf9a5m75]

As I said above, After trying, even you can't solve the problem, please share your project files on github repository. I will inspect it..

[wf9a5m75]

Please include the all files from top, not platforms/ios only.

[Corovino]

sorry, i don´t get it, i include all files and only work whit ios platform

[wf9a5m75]

Ok, the file structure is storage at least. Please give me the writing access permission to modify your code. I will commit the files to different branch.

[Corovino]

@wf9a5m75 ok check now, i invite u to collaborate

[wf9a5m75]

I fixed your project, but because you remove me from collaborate, I don't push them.

[Corovino]

@wf9a5m75 what was the problem, until now i couldn't fix that

[wf9a5m75]

File structure is wrong.

[Corovino]

which file ?

[wf9a5m75]

First of all, putting Pods at the top is wrong, and also putting contents.xcworkspacedata file at the top is wrong.

[wf9a5m75]

I'm not your friend or teacher, I don't want to spend my time to teach what's wrong one by one. If you re-add access permission, I can push it, otherwise, I will throw away the files and please try to fix by yourself.

At least this is not this plugin's problem.

Add below preferences tags under widget tag in your context.xml and update your api key here with your google maps api key.

<widget ...>
  <preference name="GOOGLE_MAPS_ANDROID_API_KEY" value="***your api key here***" />
  <preference name="GOOGLE_MAPS_IOS_API_KEY" value="***your api key here***" />
</widget>
