Google Maps is deprecating CocoaPods distribution for new iOS SDK releases, which leaves @nativescript/google-maps pinned to an installation path that will stop receiving updates. This change moves the plugin’s iOS dependency declaration to NativeScript SPM metadata so consuming apps can resolve the Google Maps iOS SDK through Swift Package Manager.

• SPM-based iOS dependency

  • Adds packages/google-maps/nativescript.config.ts
  • Declares the official Google Maps iOS Swift package:
    • repository: https://github.com/googlemaps/ios-maps-sdk.git
    • library: GoogleMaps
    • version: 10.12.0

• Remove CocoaPods-specific integration

  • Deletes packages/google-maps/platforms/ios/Podfile
  • Stops shipping plugin-level CocoaPods metadata for iOS

• Package/build metadata updates

  • Updates packages/google-maps/project.json to publish nativescript.config.ts with the package
  • Updates packages/google-maps/tsconfig.json to exclude nativescript.config.ts from library compilation
  • Updates packages/google-maps/.eslintrc.json to treat the config as package metadata rather than source

Example of the new plugin-level iOS package declaration:

import { NativeScriptConfig } from '@nativescript/core';

export default {
	ios: {
		SPMPackages: [
			{
				name: 'GoogleMaps',
				libs: ['GoogleMaps'],
				version: '10.12.0',
				repositoryURL: 'https://github.com/googlemaps/ios-maps-sdk.git',
			},
		],
	},
} as NativeScriptConfig;
