Native Maps are black on Android M on first run only

[nickk...@gmail.com]

On Android M devices the first time you run the app with native Google Maps it is black (with a google logo, with no map content) the next time the app is run then it is Ok.

This happens even if the location permission box is loaded a number of forms before any form that uses the map - it looks like on initialising an app with the Google Maps in it runs something that throws a permission error and the map doesn't get initialised or managed correctly.

I put a dummy getLastKnownLocation on the postShow of the splash screen in order to request location as soon as possible and it shows, then user logs in / registers and then lands on a map page and the map is black, next time the app is run then it functions correctly. This affects Android M devices with the SDK set to 23. Lowering the SDK isn't possible anymore (an update has already gone to Google Play).

If you kill the app and re-run it this works right?
So how can I consistently reproduce this issue? Do I need to uninstall and re-install the app?

You need to uninstall and re-install the app each time to reproduce this.

I have fixed the issue with it going black due to keyboard.  I haven't been able to reproduce the other issue (with it being black on first launch), so I don't know for sure if the change will also fix that.
