AirGoogleMaps

See original GitHub issue

The IOS app needs an update to link the AirGoogleMaps library which was introduced in the latest version of react-native-maps, this way <MapView provider='google' /> can be used to view Google Maps on IOS. At the moment, when using provider='google' in Exponent the app crashes.

Support for AirGoogleMaps was included in today’s iOS release, v1.13.1. This will work in SDK 14 projects, there is no new SDK version.

When developing in the Exponent app, this should just work if you add provider="google" to your map components. For standalone apps, exp.json now supports ios.config.googleMapsApiKey to provide your own key.

Furthermore, it recently came to my attention that Apple’s MapKit has a bunch of nasty memory leaks. So I definitely recommend switching over to Google Maps.
