Guide to integrate react-native-maps

Video guide available here: https://youtu.be/XTwpYtNTV48

Step 01: Create new project (ignore if you have one existing) and

react-native init MyMap
cd MyMap
yarn add react-native-maps

Step 02: link package

react-native link react-native-maps

Step 03: Setup iOS project (Make sure you have Cocoapods installed on your Mac)

cd ios
pod init

Open Podfile in your vscode (atom, phpstorm etc...)

# Podfile content
source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'

platform :ios, '8.0'

target 'MyMap' do
  react_native_path = "../node_modules/react-native"
  pod "Yoga", :path => "#{react_native_path}/ReactCommon/yoga"
  pod "React", :path => react_native_path

  pod 'GoogleMaps'  # <~~ remove this line if you do not want to support GoogleMaps on iOS

end

Step 04: install Podfile

pod install

Step 05: Open project

open MyMap.xcworkspace
open .

Your project will be open in Xcode, drag n drop AirGoogleMaps dir in MyMap/node_modules/react-native-maps/lib/ios to your Xcode project.

Step 06: Enable Google Map SDK for iOS and Google Map Android API

Go to Google console, choose or create new project, go to library then enable 2 libraries:

• Google Map SDK for iOS
• Google Map Android API

Then create new Credentials key

Step 07: Edit AppDelegate.m

...
#import "AppDelegate.h"

#import <React/RCTBundleURLProvider.h>
#import <React/RCTRootView.h>
@import GoogleMaps; # INSERT THIS LINE

@implementation AppDelegate

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
  NSURL *jsCodeLocation;
  [GMSServices provideAPIKey:@"YOUR_KEY"]; # INSERT THIS LINE

  jsCodeLocation = [[RCTBundleURLProvider sharedSettings] jsBundleURLForBundleRoot:@"index.ios" fallbackResource:nil];
...

You're done setting up iOS project, you can now react-native run-ios

Step 08: Paste these line to android/app/build.gradle

dependencies {
    ...
    // Paste these line
    compile(project(':react-native-maps')){
        exclude group: 'com.google.android.gms', module: 'play-services-base'
        exclude group: 'com.google.android.gms', module: 'play-services-maps'
    }
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:10.0.1'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:10.0.1'
}

Step 09: Insert key to android/app/src/AndroidManifest.xml

<application>
    <!-- You will only need to add this meta-data tag, but make sure it's a child of application -->
    <meta-data
      android:name="com.google.android.geo.API_KEY"
      android:value="YOUR GOOGLE MAPS API KEY HERE"/>
</application>

WE ARE GOOD TO GO.
