GoogleMapsBase not found on xCode

[gerardus1995]

I'm trying to use google maps in an IOS application. I follow all the instructions in the guide https://github.com/airbnb/react-native-maps/blob/master/docs/installation.md and when i compile the program i get "GoogleMapsBase not found on xCode". I have no idea which the problem is so any help would be apreciated.

@gerardus1995 @piloulac , try to add $(SRCROOT)/Pods in framework search paths in xcode. And don't forget to set "recursive".

Thanks @tonygriv
Your solution worked for me.

A friend working on OSX is having this issue.
We followed the instructions in the guide together but at the end it is always the same issue with Module 'GoogleMapsBase' not found.
We have react-native 0.41.2 and react-native-maps 0.13.0.

We also have this problem with similar environment. We have RN 0.42.0 and react-native-maps 0.13.0. I checked the pod folder and found that GoogleMapsBase.framework is there. I think maybe the project is not properly configured.

[hubertwang]

Oh, I found a workaround. If you want to manually import google maps into your project, do not add 'react-native-google-maps' to your Podfile.
Instead, just drag node_modules/ios/AirGoogleMaps to your project. Basically, they do the same thing, you only need to choose one of them.

Don't forget to add GoogleMaps to your Podfile:
pod 'GoogleMaps', '~> 2.1.1'
(2.1.1 is for react-native-maps 0.13.0)

Afterward, you can add API_KEY to your project:

#import <GoogleMaps/GoogleMaps.h>
...
[GMSServices provideAPIKey:@"YOUR_API_KEY"];

Then the error should go way now.

My case is: I use RN 0.43.3 & react-native-maps 2.4.0, this issue happens. Then I downgrade my react-native-maps back to 2.3.1 and error goes away. Maybe there's incompatibility between your RN version & react-native-maps version.

@airbnbelena Facing same issue with RN 0.45.1 & react-native-maps 0.15.0.
I have no idea which the problem is so any help would be appreciated.

Is there still no update?

[seniorshahmar]

You need to do this

Click on your project (targets)
Click on Build Settings
Under Framework search paths (set your framework path)
Following information for getting framework search paths

Right click on your framework folder (for ex: GoogleMaps.framework)
select Get info
copy the path from General->where and paste this path in your framework search path (path should contain in single line)

@seniorshahmar Why not just post the stack overflow link instead of copy-pasting the answer? Do those same steps from 2013 work 4 years later? My Framework Search Paths includes "${PODS_ROOT}/GoogleMaps/Base/Frameworks", which does exist, and yet I still face this issue.

@Esxiel @imbudhiraja @samthui
Here's a potential solution: add s.compiler_flags = '-fno-modules' to react-native-maps/react-native-google-maps.podspec, then build.

Disclaimer: I have no idea how/why this works.

[Esxiel]

Sorry for not updating. Mine worked few days ago, in my case it was because I used RN ver 0.49.1, downgraded and worked immediately.

[michelalbers]

Can confirm @Palisand's solution!

[michelalbers]

PR #1732 created. Fixes the issue for me!

I recently made a fresh example build with pods and GoogleMaps with no issues.
https://github.com/alvelig/react-native-maps-pods-example.
Try to check it out or build through the README.MD. If it does not help, let me know.
