"googleMapId" not working on IOS

[demoox]

Summary

The googleMapId attribute does not seem to have any effect on IOS compared to the customMapStyle attribute which works very well.

As you probably know, the JSON personalization system will soon be deprecated to make way for cloud-based maps personalization.

Reproducible sample code

<MapView 
style={{ flex: 1 }} 
provider={PROVIDER_GOOGLE}
googleMapId='XXXXXXXXXXX'
initialRegion={{
  latitude: lat,
  longitude: lng,
  latitudeDelta: 0.0922,
  longitudeDelta: 0.0421
}}
showsUserLocation={true}
showsMyLocationButton={true}
>

Steps to reproduce

Create a map style on the cloud, then get the map id and set it in the "googleMapId" attribute

Expected result

.

Actual result

The default map style is applied instead of the map with the defined id.

Hi @demoox. If I understood correctly it is not possible yet on iOS. We have to wait for new version of Google Maps SDK for iOS.
See description in Salah's PR.
#4922

Unfortunately for iOS without updating to google-maps SDK v 8.2 the style won't be visible .. waiting on google
