Breaking change to google_maps_flutter

[Amir Hardon]

https://github.com/flutter/plugins/pull/743 changes the public API of the google_maps_flutter plugin.

This is not technically a breaking change as the plugin was not yet published, but I thought to give a heads up in case anyone is using it.

The PR changes the plugin to use AndroidView on Android, and disables the plugin for iOS for now.

Note that the plugin is still not published and the API is not stable.

Is it possible to make the main URL configurable? for instance the google map can be accessing by https://www.google.cn/maps/ but https://www.google.com/maps/.

Thank you!

I believe that the language that's used by Google Maps is determined by current locale. (It will show whatever language the user's phone is set to)

Hi Amir,

I don't think that's the case. Google maps in China is a special case due to the ______ regulations.

Check out "Loading the API in China" in the docs here: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/localization

Interesting, do you know if there's an equivalent for the Android/iOS Maps SDKs?

I'm only aware of the web one, sorry.

I am afraid I am already using the plugin for an inhouse application and everybody here has an iPhone.

How would I reference the last commit before the change in my pubspec.yaml to make sure I don't break my builds?

The docs don't really give me a clou:

https://www.dartlang.org/tools/pub/dependencies

dependencies:
 (...)
 google_maps_flutter:
   git:
     url: git://github.com/flutter/plugins
     path: packages/google_maps_flutter
     ref: <What should I put here to make sure I use the version before the change?>

Thanks!

[Andreas Sumerauer]

This will use the last commit before the change:

 

dependencies:
 (...)
 google_maps_flutter:
   git:
     url: git://github.com/flutter/plugins
     path: packages/
