react-native-maps: error: package com.google.android.gms.location does not exist

Bug

Using the latest package from github, and after following all install instructions (having previous versions working perfectly), I get an error: package com.google.android.gms.location does not exist.

Build fails on line 17 of AirMapManager.java.

This was added in the recent commit “Improved user location on Android (#2993)”

Here is an extract from my app/build.gradle

    implementation(project(':react-native-maps')){
        exclude group: 'com.google.android.gms', module: 'play-services-base'
        exclude group: 'com.google.android.gms', module: 'play-services-maps'
    }
    implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:17.1.0'
    implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:17.0.0'
    implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:17.0.0'

Library version: next

Adding

implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:16.0.0'

To the android-react-native-maps.gradle file removes the no definitions for me, but then introduces new errors around setUserLocationPriority, setUserLocationUpdateInterval and setUserLocationFastestInterval not being defined in AirMapManager.java

In my case, I had to replace playServicesVersion = "17.0.0" with playServicesVersion = "18.1.0" in the android build.gradle file

In my case I changed the playServicesVersion variable to googlePlayServicesVersion = “17.0.0”.

using:

"react": "18.1.0",
"react-native": "0.70.9",

So I have submitted a new PR fixing my previous PR 😉

It seems like some of the code in the PR somehow got lost in the merge process, like the dependency for play-service-location and several of my added methods to AirMapView.java. I do not know why, but now at least they are there in the new PR (3320), and they work as far as I can tell.

FIX

I fix this solution by removing bellow existing maps package from my node_modules folder

"react-native-maps": "git+https://git@github.com/react-native-community/react-native-maps.git"

and re-install it with this command yarn add react-native-maps -E or npm install react-native-maps --save-exact

@danial031193 uninstall your existing react-native-maps from package.json and try npm install react-native-maps --save-exact or using yarn add react-native-maps -E

It didn’t work for me 😕

I needed fix that quicky so I added implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:16.+' in the react-native-library on this file node_modules/react-native-maps/lib/android/build.gradle and I fix one of the bug and for the another one Comment from line 165 to line 175 in this path node_modules/react-native-maps/lib/android/src/main/java/com/airbnb/android/react/maps/AirMapManager.java

something like that `@ReactProp(name = “userLocationPriority”) public void setUserLocationPriority(AirMapView view, @Nullable String accuracy) { view.setUserLocationPriority(MY_LOCATION_PRIORITY.get(accuracy)); }

@ReactProp(name = “userLocationUpdateInterval”, defaultInt = 5000) public void setUserLocationUpdateInterval(AirMapView view, int updateInterval) { view.setUserLocationUpdateInterval(updateInterval); }

@ReactProp(name = “userLocationFastestInterval”, defaultInt = 5000) public void setUserLocationFastestInterval(AirMapView view, int fastestInterval) { view.setUserLocationFastestInterval(fastestInterval); }`

I know there are 3 properties that are not working but I needed fix it for my project
