expo: Using PROVIDER_GOOGLE with react-native-maps crashes iOS Simulator in latest Expo Go

Summary

Using the provider={PROVIDER_GOOGLE} with a valid Google Maps API key in the MapView component causes the iOS simulator to crash. Running the code on a physical device however, does in fact render the map properly.

Issue opened on react-native-maps as well https://github.com/react-native-maps/react-native-maps/issues/4379

This should be resolved in the latest Expo Go version! (2.25.2)

@stuartrapop this issue is about IOS not macOs, as you can see Here in the Offical Docs the permission is deprecated for iOS 6.0–8.0 infact in my case changing the permission name to NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription solved my issue. NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription it’s not deprecated at all for IOS, just read the docs

It is not SDK 46 problem!

With SDK 45, Expo Go 2.25.1 grey block on android, crash on ios. With SDK 46, Expo GO 2.25.1 grey block on android, crash on ios.

But, With SDK 45, Expo Go 2.24.3 work.

How to downgrade Expo 45 with Expo Go 2.24.3.

- Delete Expo Go app from Simulator and Real Device.
1. expo upgrade 45
 - Downgrade to sdk 45, because  Expo Go 2.24.3  doesn't support Expo SDK 46.
3. expo start
  - Expo , automatically install expo go 2.24.3.

Now you can wait for fix Expo Go problem 😃
