iOS Tutorial GoogleMaps Tutorial

Erel · Nov 17, 2014

The iGoogleMaps library allows you to show a map inside your app:

It is similar to B4A GoogleMaps library.

1. In order to use it you need to get a free api key from Google. Follow the "Obtaining an API Key" steps: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/ios/start#obtaining_an_api_key

2. If you are using a local Mac builder then you need to first download the SDK to your Mac computer: www.b4x.com/b4i/files/GoogleMaps.framework.zip (download it from your Mac).
And copy GoogleMaps.framework package to the Libs folder.

Start with the attached project. You will need to change the package name.

When you are ready to start a new project you need to:
3. Add these two attributes to your project (if you want to show the user location):

B4X:

#PlistExtra:<key>NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription</key><string>Used to display the current navigation data.</string>
#PlistExtra:<key>NSLocationUsageDescription</key><string>Used to display the current navigation data.</string>

You can change the description text.
4. Set the minimum version to 11:

B4X:

#MinVersion: 11

5. Copy the GoogleMaps.bundle folder from the example project (under Files\Special) to Files\Special in your project.

You can download the example project from: https://www.b4x.com/b4i/files/GoogleMaps.zip

Updates:

- GoogleMaps iOS SDK v6.0.1 was uploaded to the builders.
Make sure to update Files\Special\GoogleMaps.bundle from the example project.
If using a local Mac then update the Mac frameworks (see step #2 above)
Set the minimum version to 11: #MinVersion: 11

Having trouble sending the Map Demo to the iPad.

The other samples are working ok, but the Google Maps returns an error. Communication error: RequestCancelled.

Tried it on PC and Laptop..

Any Ideas please..

Are you using the hosted builder? Try to increase the process timeout (under Tools - IDE Options).

Yes using hosted builder.. Increased to 240.. still fails. This is the example direct from this website without modification...

How long does it take until it fails?

RichardHirst · Apr 27, 2015

Sending data to remote compiler. 86.17
Compilation completed successfully.
Make sure that B4i-Bridge is started (10.1.1.68).
Manually launch the app after installation.

Now it works.. tried all morning to get this to work.. ???

Is your internet connection relatively slow?

New versions of the Google maps SDK for iOS ( 1.10.0 May 2015) are distributed via something called "CocoaPods".
How to use it in B4i ?

Are you using a local Mac builder? Have you tried to follow the steps here: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/ios/start#getting_the_google_maps_sdk_for_ios ? Eventually it should download the required files.

Hello. After migrating to B4I and update my local Mac builder, I started to get an strange error:

B4X:

Undefined symbols for architecture arm64:
  "_CBAdvertisementDataManufacturerDataKey", referenced from:
      -[GMSx_PEBeaconScanner centralManager:didDiscoverPeripheral:advertisementData:RSSI:] in GoogleMaps(PEBeaconScanner.o)

ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture arm64
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

How can I solve that issue?

An additional information, when I use the hosted server, everything works fine.

Have you copied GoogleMaps.framework to the Mac libs folder (see step #2 in the first post)?

Yes Erel.

Please download this framework and replace the existing one: www.b4x.com/b4i/files/GoogleMaps.framework.zip (download it from your Mac).

HI!
I have the same problem like luiz fernando.
I downloaded the new version of googlemap.framework but i still receive the error message:
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture arm64

Can you help me to solve?

Tanks!

Erel · Aug 4, 2015

Have you downloaded the one I posted in the previous link?

kreativa · Aug 4, 2015

Yes, I solved. Restarted the server on mac and now works!
Thanks

the zoom level is maximum currently to 20 as I understand, which isn't enough for my app maps. Can you explain why this is limited in such a way, and when an update will be available which will allow a higher level of zoom?
Thanks

Note, try changing the Map Type. the demo uses MAP_TYPE_TERRAIN which has a limited zoom, try one of the other types

I have checked my build configurations package name is same with the one i created in my console. I am still getting the white map only with markers

Make sure that the GoogleMaps API is enabled in Google console.

tufanv · Oct 22, 2015
