⚠️ End of Life (EOL)

This repository is no longer maintained and has reached End of Life (EOL).

No further updates, fixes, or compatibility patches will be provided.

Recommended alternative

If you are still using Cordova and cannot migrate to a more modern solution (Capacitor, React Native, Flutter, or native development), we strongly recommend using:

https://github.com/GitToTheHub/cordova-plugin-googlemaps-sdk

This alternative is maintained and provides a more complete and up-to-date implementation of the Google Maps SDK for Cordova.

Background

This is a fork of https://github.com/mapsplugin/cordova-plugin-googlemaps

It was maintained to keep compatibility with older versions of Cordova, prior to cordova-ios@8.0
