[Bug]: @capacitor/google-maps "Error calling method create on plugin CapacitorGoogleMaps: No method found." on iOS

I was able to pin the error down to the await GoogleMap.create({ }) function. All lines after that function won't be executed.

This issue needs more information before it can be addressed. In particular, the reporter needs to provide a minimal sample app that demonstrates the issue. If no sample app is provided within 15 days, the issue will be closed.
Please see the Contributing Guide for how to create a Sample App.
Thanks! Ionitron 💙

This issue is about iOS, if you are having an issue on Android then it's a different problem, please, create a new issue on https://github.com/ionic-team/capacitor-google-maps/issues

BTW, your API key is visible through git history, I would suggest you to invalidate it.

Thanks for the reply. I moved away from Google Maps to an OSM based solution. After trying 3 different GM-based approaches I learned that Google is just too incompetent to create a performant solution. I had to do the whole native stuff only because the JS SDK doesn't perform well with many markers added. The OSM SDK just renders them with less issues than anything I encountered with Google Maps. Sometimes I wonder how Google is still such a big company because so often they don't care to deliver decent SDKs :-(

Where do you see my API key?

There was a comment from an user having a different problem on Android and they provided a sample app with their API key on it, my comment was addressed to them, but they have removed the comment from here.

You must have seen it since you added a reaction to it before it was deleted.

They have reported the issue on https://github.com/ionic-team/capacitor-google-maps/issues, but then they closed it because they found out they were putting the API key in the wrong place.

Since you have moved away from Google Maps I guess you won't be providing a sample app for the issue, so I'm going to close.
If you are still interested in providing a sample app, please, create a new issue with the sample app in the google maps plugin repository
