Before you install, make sure you've read the instructions

npm (current stable 1.3.9)

If you re-install the plugin, please always remove the plugin first, then remove the SDK

$> cordova plugin rm plugin.google.maps
$> cordova plugin rm com.googlemaps.ios

The SDK-Plugin won't be uninstalled automatically and you will stuck on an old version.

###WARNING This plugin is not compatible with Cordova-iOS 4.0.0. WKWebView is not supported. They have been huge changes in the API, and due to lack of time, there is no ETA when this plugin will be compatible. PRs are welcome!!

###Last release information

v.1.3.9 - 04/01/2016 Happy new year!

• Fixed a few bugs with Crosswalk, White-Screen Problems.
• Added "maxAddressLines" for Geocoder (Android, iOS had it already). Check "lines" inside of the extras array.
• Updated Google Maps SDK for iOS to 1.11.1

Please check the new Tutorial for Crosswalk

I recommend to set settings for Crosswalk to 15+ and remove android-platform (cordova platform rm android) and re-install it. No patches required anymore to run with crosswalk. It also has some nice performance boosts, as setting translucent isn't required anymore. (in my test-cases)

v.1.3.6 - 07/12/2015

• Fixed some small bugs
• Updated Google Maps SDK for iOS to 1.11.0
• Will fix some bugs on iOS 9
• with BITCODE support
• fixed blank map problems

Check out the release notes.
