Current behavior: The maps are showing properly in web browser using ionic cordova run browser -l. But when i run in mobile with debug mode or apk directly installed, it's not showing the maps properly. Except the map i am able to see everything like google credits zoom in, zoom out, my location button etc. It's also giving my current location as well and when i tap on the screen all the related events are also triggered. But the issue is map is not displayed at all.

When i inspect the debug apk using chrome inspect tools, i found that the content on the DOM is not rendering.

Expected behavior: Maps should be displayed properly in android as well.

Screen capture or video record:

Related code, data or error log (please format your code or data):

I am waiting till the device is ready

async ngOnInit() {
  await this.platform.ready();
  this.renderMap();
}

Here is my css

#map_canvas {
  height: 350px;
}

Here is the complete JS code.

Gray map means always your API key problem.

In Android, this plugin does *not" use Google Maps JavaScript v3. We use Google Maps SDK for Android

Thanks for the response @wf9a5m75. It's working fine after adding android sdk api to the project in google maps dashboard.
