@cgarrovillo Thanks. It works!

I don't think that would have helped much, and most of the time - when dependencies aren't broken - it would only make it more complicated to install this package.

What happened last week was a published version of @googlemaps/js-api-loader that was broken. That would have had mostly the same effect if it was installed as a peer-dependency instead of a transitive dependency.

The only thing you can do in such a situation is to pin the dependency to an older version, and that can be done for both peerDependencies as well as for transitive dependencies (by specifying a resolution for the package in the package.json).
