When running for IOS, support for Google maps is on its way?

[mattiLeBlanc]

I was going through the example and saw that for IOS the Apple maps are used. I personally don't like the look of that so I was wondering if I can also for it to run Google maps on IOS?
Is it using a webversion (I see urls to apple maps and google maps in the project) or is using a native component?

I have also been playing with Google SDK example:
https://github.com/Pod-Point-Open-Source/react-native-maps

Not sure what the benefits are of using the SDK over a webversion?

Support Google Maps on iOS has been merged.

[mattiLeBlanc]

Splenid. I will have a look.
This is not the sdk but a webversion, right?
Any performance issues over the sdk?

@mattiLeBlanc It's based on the SDK.

[mattiLeBlanc]

Awesome!

Has anyone managed to install this properly? I'm trying to follow the install instructions but just keep hitting problems. All I get is "AirGoogleMaps dir must be added to your project". I've tried following the instructions here: https://github.com/airbnb/react-native-maps/blob/master/docs/installation.md (Option1). When it says "Drag the folder" I assume I must be doing that wrong. Am I supposed to be loading the .xcodeproj or .xcworkspace to drag the folders in to? Is it possible to do that on the command-line?

Could someone just paste the actual Podfile required (rather than this https://github.com/airbnb/react-native-maps/blob/master/example/ios/Podfile which is a smorgasbord of bits of a Podfile, to me?)

(Apologies, I'm from a cordova background where we don't touch stuff like this :) )

I second @joewoodhouse , I can't seem to quite get it right, more detailed instructions would be greatly appreciated.

[mattiLeBlanc]

@joewoodhouse maybe have a look at the SDK implementation of this Google maps plugin:
https://github.com/Pod-Point-Open-Source/react-native-maps

I got it to work and I have to do some stuff in Xcode with my project. Maybe you need to do the same for the AirBnB implementation

Drag the folder from a finder window, into your xCode project.

If you are using Option1, you can ignore all of the commented code in the example Podfile.

[joewoodhouse]

@gilbox Yep that's what I've done, and I still get the same errors as above.

[gilbox]

@joewoodhouse what errors are you getting? I don't see any above.

[joewoodhouse]

"AirGoogleMaps dir must be added to your project"

[gilbox]

hmm 2 thoughts

• This probably has nothing to do w/your Podfile since your app wouldn't even compile if you added the AirGoogleMaps dir without proper Podfile config
• In JS, You can inspect NativeModules.UIManager to see what is available. It should have AIRGoogleMap and AIRMap as properties.

[joewoodhouse]

I have AIRMap (and AIRMapMarker, AIRMapCircle etc) but no AIRGoogleMap

[gilbox]

you project looks like this?

[joewoodhouse]

[gilbox]

excuse my ignorance, but do you know why your folder icons look different? also, if you are installing React as a pod shouldnt it be in the Pods/ dir (donno if that would make a difference though)

[joewoodhouse]

Not sure, I'm on XCode 8.0 if that makes any difference.

I've no idea if I'm installing React as a Pod or not to be honest, which probably isn't very helpful. Basically I've started a new project with react-native init then tweaked the index a bit to put a <MapView provider="google"/>, and now trying to install this module

[gilbox]

• Please remove AirMaps.xcodeproj from your project.
• Are you opening an xcworkspace or an xcodeproj ?

[joewoodhouse]

I'm opening the .xcodeproj

[gilbox]

Please review the cocoapods docs. You can't use GoogleMaps without using CocoaPods in your project.

[joewoodhouse]

On looking I see I am using Pods.

@ippa Did you get any further with this?

If someone could just write down some command-by-command instructions from react-native init to the point where the map runs on iOS using Google Maps, I think that would be really helpful.

👍 👍 👍 👍 This would be an awesome contribution.

I suggest you become comfortable with pod install and understand the difference between xcodeproj and xcodeworkspace.

[Clcll]

@joewoodhouse Have you got the result ? I have the same problem

[joewoodhouse]

@Clcll Hi no sadly haven't made any progress with this myself. Was hoping one of the developers/contributors would be able to write up some steps.

[knkevinlai]

Same problem here, too.

1. I found that in MyProject.xcodeproj > Build Settings > Framework Search Paths:
   both Debug and Release are having the paths of "${PODS_ROOT}/GoogleMaps/Subspecs/Base/Frameworks" and "${PODS_ROOT}/GoogleMaps/Subspecs/Maps/Frameworks"
   But In the MyProject.xcworkspace (after pod install) under folder tree of Pods, there are no such paths but only "Pods/GoogleMaps/Base/Frameworks" and "Pods/GoogleMaps/Maps/Frameworks"
2. The path "problem" also exists in my MyProject.xcodeproj > Pods > Pods-MyProject.debug.xcconfig and MyProject.release.xcconfig
3. After correcting the paths, problem still exist.

I wonder if this is related to the issue.

Thanks.

[mersay]

@gilbox how do you inspect NativeModules.UIManager?

@joewoodhouse Did you make any progress with this?

[ghost]

I'm also having issues with this.
