google_maps_flutter_ios #

The default iOS implementation of google_maps_flutter.

This package will use Google Maps SDK 8.4, 9.x, or 10.x, depending on your application's minimum deployment target.

Usage #

This package is endorsed, which means you can simply use google_maps_flutter normally. This package will be automatically included in your app when you do, so you do not need to add it to your pubspec.yaml.

However, if you import this package to use any of its APIs directly, you should add it to your pubspec.yaml as usual.

Alternate Implementations #

This package is the default implementation only to preserve compatibility with previous versions of the plugin. Unless you need to support iOS 14, you should use one of the SDK-specific packages instead:

• google_maps_flutter_ios_sdk9 for iOS 15+.
• google_maps_flutter_ios_sdk10 for iOS 16+.

Using an SDK-specific package will allow you to use Swift Package Manager instead of CocoaPods, and will allow using future major SDK releases beyond 10.x.

Setup #

Specify your API key in the application delegate ios/Runner/AppDelegate.swift:

import UIKit
import Flutter
import GoogleMaps

@UIApplicationMain
@objc class AppDelegate: FlutterAppDelegate {
  override func application(
    _ application: UIApplication,
    didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?
  ) -> Bool {
    GMSServices.provideAPIKey("YOUR KEY HERE")
    GeneratedPluginRegistrant.register(with: self)
    return super.application(application, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: launchOptions)
  }
}

Swift Package Manager #

This package cannot support Swift Package Manager, as Swift Package Manager does not support automatically selecting the appropriate version of the Google Maps SDK based on the minimum deployment target. For Swift Package Manager compatibility, you should use the appropriate google_maps_flutter_ios_sdk* package instead.

Because the Google Maps SDK will not be releasing versions beyond 10.x via CocoaPods, this package will not add support for newer SDKs in the future, as it had historically done.
