not working on expo 51

[fozzarelo]

I migrated from expo 50 to 51 and the feature stopped working. No errors or warnings displayed.

• getApps returns an empty array
• showLocation doesn't do anything

have you tested it with sdk51?

thank you for the great library.

@fozzarelo I am running latest expo 51.0.24 and works perfectly fine for me.

Hi @fozzarelo! Sorry to hear you're having problems getting the library to work.

Some pointers that might help:

• Have you added the Expo plugin and re-built your native app?
• Are you testing on a device that has one or more supported map apps installed? The simulator usually doesn't work for this.

I'm also experiencing issues with this. getApps for me is only returning Google maps. I have Waze installed too. However, to launch, I have to specify that I want to use Waze. By default it always launches Google Maps. Runnin Expo GO on my tablet. Would I need a build to pick up the rest?

I have read that the way in which default apps on Android 12+ has changed.

I don't really want to implement a Map App chooser and just use the one that's been configured by default on the device

Hi @markaustinws - this is the expected behaviour on Expo Go - the Expo Go app isn't whitelisted to query existence of other apps on the system. Only native builds with the Expo plugin installed will allow you to do this.

Hi @tschoffelen Thanks for confirming. Great library! :)

I've created a preview iOS build. Uploaded to Browser Stack, but when attempting to launch, I'm getting the following errors: Aug 23 16:10:58 WSCrewDev(UIKitCore)[4616] : Info.plist contained no UIScene configuration dictionary (looking for configuration named "(no name)")Aug 23 16:11:55 WSCrewDev(Network)[4616] : nw_read_request_report [C1] Receive failed with error "Software caused connection abort"Aug 23 16:13:27 WSCrewDev(CoreLocation)[4616] : This method can cause UI unresponsiveness if invoked on the main thread.

None of these messages seem to be related to this library as far as I can tell @markaustinws

[mrevanzak]

its working on me. make sure to run expo prebuild --clean and rebuild the development apps

[markaustinws]

Hi @mrevanzak - Thanks. Last day before leave and I didn't realise that BrowserStack doesn't preload with any map applications. Installed Google Maps on the BrowserStack IOS instance and is now working.

Looks like this can be closed for now - feel free to re-open if it's still a problem!
