Congrats, guys.

Ok, let’s make a conclusion. Regarding of the reports, the following steps should solve this problem.

$> cordova platform rm ios
$> cordova plugin rm cordova-plugin-googlemaps

$> [sudo] gem install cocoapods
or
$ brew update
$ brew upgrade cocoapods
$ pod setup

// confirm
$>  pod --version
1.4.0 or above should be fine.


$> cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-googlemaps --variable API_KEY_FOR_ ...

$> cordova platform add ios

If the above steps does not work, try this:

$> cd (your project)/platforms/ios/

$> pod update
Update all pods
Updating local specs repositories
...
Analyzing dependencies
Downloading dependencies
Using GoogleMaps (2.7.0)
Generating Pods project
Integrating client project
Sending stats
Pod installation complete! There is 1 dependency from the Podfile and 1 total pod installed.

I thank you for the plugin; we use this as one of the core plugins for our app. But you should not be introducing breaking changes on the minor version change… If you now require Cocoapods you should make the version 2.5.1 after 2.4.4. Not 2.4.5 after 2.4.4. These updates cause a world of pain for developers using it.

cocoapod is the official supported way of cordova cli (since cordova-cli 6.4.0 and ios 4.3.0) Everyone should have it, and should work it. Even on Windows, Visual Studio support it.

So switching the installing from git repo to cocoapod is not a breaking change. Main code is not changed at all.

Here is how to install cocoapod https://stackoverflow.com/a/25257238/697856

And if you already cocoapod is installed, your cocoapod is older version. You need to upgrade it.

$ [sudo] gem install cocoapods

or

$ brew update
$ brew upgrade cocoapods
$ pod setup

I don’t know why Google Maps not install when install your plugin. I try any way to install Google Maps. But not work.

- remove your plugin 
- sudo gem install cocoapods
- pod setup
- install your plugin

Not work ‘GoogleMaps/GoogleMaps.h’ file not found

Only way to install Google Maps via Pod I need remove iOS Platform and add iOS Platform back

I see Google Maps is installing when Add Platform but if just remove plugin and reinstall plugin Google Maps not install

I don’t know why

This worked for me:

cd platforms/ios/myApp
pod deintegrate
pod install

zx500xl on Oct 25, 2018

I think I found the culprit, I miss the part of running pod update within the platform/ios directory. With that being done now the issue is resolved. Thanks again @wf9a5m75 .

jsitu on Sep 27, 2018

Thank you for any support.

iPMisterX on Sep 26, 2018

If you want to open your project with xcode, you need to open (your project).xcworkspace file, not (your project).xcodeproj file.

Although this problem is already solved, and it is not a bug of this plugin, I keep this thread is open for other people for a while.

wf9a5m75 on Sep 28, 2018

Yes this step will solve this problem.

After addd platform iOS. In (your project)/platforms/ios/ Podfile must have pod 'GoogleMaps', '~> 2.7.0' line. And GoogleMaps in Pods folder

I try to update plugin in another project 2.4.4 -> 2.4.6 after first project work. it work fine

iPMisterX on Sep 26, 2018

@iPMisterX Same here. I’ve been banging away at this all day and all of a sudden a removing of the iOS platform (for the 10th+ time today) and re-adding fixed the issue. Maybe an endpoint was down? Either way, resolved guys. TY for the support.

I guess I should just ask. Does anyone have this working on iOS 12 using Xcode 10 on Mojave? If it’s a yes then I can figure it out I’m sure.
