Does anyone know of a solution?

Any idea when there will be a release containing the fix?

I’ve pushed another change to use the activity context in the AirMapView.

Have also just got a Z5 Compact here and can confirm it now works without crashing.

Can you update your package.json to this and confirm if it works for you? “git://github.com/locly/react-native-maps.git#6d393fb6796deb4f8620533cee5c90cb8051d48f”

This fix is based on the 0.4-stable branch rather than 0.5, which introduced the change of name - yet to update the 0.5 version.
