Thank you for opening an issue. Would you be able to provide the JavaScript console errors, if there are any?

See jupyterlab/jupyterlab#14829 (comment)

I came across this fork which claims to run with JupyterLab>4. Perhaps it is possible to merge the commits from there.

Together with that fork, I uploaded a pre-built release we use in SEPAL, as an interim solution:

pip install https://github.com/cdanielw/ipyleaflet/releases/download/0.17.4/ipyleaflet-0.17.4-py3-none-any.whl

I never bothered to make a pull request, as I assume the ipyleaflet guys are on-top-of this issue. I just needed an immediate way to get this running.

If you could open a PR that would be great. We need help maintaining this.
