Ionic packages

@ionic-native/core :  5.36.0
@ionic-native/google-maps : 5.5.0

Current behavior:

The Android version won't compile; multiple failures with "package com.google.android.libraries.maps.model does not exist"

Expected behavior:

The code should compile

Related code, data or error log (please format your code or data): I see this output during the build:

---->PLAY_SERVICES_VERSION = 18.0.2
---->ANDROID_SUPPORT_V4_VERSION = 27.1.1

Which show's this plugin's custom gradle is setting the dependencies correctly:

  def PLAY_SERVICES_VERSION = props.get("GOOGLE_MAPS_PLAY_SERVICES_VERSION")
  def ANDROID_SUPPORT_V4_VERSION = props.get("ANDROID_SUPPORT_V4_VERSION")
  println("---->PLAY_SERVICES_VERSION = ${PLAY_SERVICES_VERSION}")
  println("---->ANDROID_SUPPORT_V4_VERSION = ${ANDROID_SUPPORT_V4_VERSION}")
  dependencies {
    implementation "com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:${PLAY_SERVICES_VERSION}"
    implementation "com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:${PLAY_SERVICES_VERSION}"
    implementation "com.android.support:support-core-utils:${ANDROID_SUPPORT_V4_VERSION}"
  }

In Android Studio's Gradle view, I see:

com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:18.0.2@aar (Compile)

I went through other issue reports to try to find the problem, and I asked on stackoverflow, but I'm really stuck and hoping someone can help me.

The build works for me against the multiple_maps branch, but the map doesn't load for me there. I tried to put a breakpoint at CordovaGoogleMaps.this.getMap(args, callbackContext), but that doesn't seem to get hit. I can keep debugging, but I was hoping someone else could tell me what I'm doing wrong; I was trying to upgrade to target Android SDK 31...

[craig-at-rsg]

I was using the multiple_maps branch, and that would work for me if the map was showing, so I don't need to get the answer to how to compile against the master branch.

I having same issue. I tried to delete cordova plugin androidx, because I read anything about. but nothing
