Can't find variable: GMSServices about nativescript-google-maps-sdk

[dapriett]

Hi @kvnphllps - I just ran your code and it worked fine for me using the ios emulator. Maybe try removing your node_modules and platforms directory, reinstall, and run. I know for me sometimes Nativescript gets in a funky state, and only wiping those clean fixes it.

rm -rf node_modules platforms
tns install
tns run ios --emulator

Hi ! Thanks for this :)
Same problem here, and reinstalling didn't fix for me.

[kvnphllps]

Same here... perhaps it is a tns configuration error? A missing iOS platform library? @dapriett what version of tns are you running your package with? Thanks again!

[kvnphllps]

Another thought: with GMSServices being apart of the google SDK should I be running some pod install commands on the podfile to import the google map SDK?

[kvnphllps]

Found my error: I didn't have CocoaPods installed... @EnguGH take a look at step 2 here. After installing CocoaPods and then following the original suggestion by @dapriett the map app opened up for me.

Did the job on my side too !
Many thanks :)

Seems like this error is back
Can't find variable: GMSServices

Jacks-MacBook-Air-2:PantonApp juanoviedo$ pod --version
0.39.0
XCode version is 7.2.1

{N} version is 1.6.1

I also followed @dapriett instructions to add and remove node_modules and I still have the problem, any ideas?

Thank you!

I'm having the same problem as well. I followed the steps above as well.
In addition I tried making a reference to the plugin and trying to access GMSServices from in there.

`
var mapsService = import("nativescript-google-maps-sdk);

if (application.ios){
mapsService.GMSService.provideAPIKey("apikey");
}
`
failed: error evaluating statement.

Anyone know how to solve this?

I got this error now, followed every step as mentioned here and mentioned links.
Still having the problem, something is going on! It's like no one that solved this issue wants to help!

I did run these commands in order:
pod setup, rm -rf node_modules platforms, tns install, tns build ios, tns run ios --emulator

Still getting the Error:
file:///app/app.js:12:16: JS ERROR TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating 'GMSServices.provideAPIKey')
app.ts is so simple:

import "./bundle-config";
import * as app from 'application';
var GMSServices: any;

if(app.ios){
    GMSServices.provideAPIKey("AIzaSyA4UF");
}

app.start({ moduleName: 'home/home' });

Hey, In your case it is pretty clear that you haven't imported the GMSServices, you just declared it as any but it isn't imported. Try importing it like
var mapsService = import("nativescript-google-maps-sdk);

also you should get a new key since everyone was emailed your full key before you edited it.

[MrSinaRJ]

@xerotolerant thanks for your help, I have disabled the key a few seconds after that. but thanks for mentioning this issue.

I will try to fix it with your help, I hope I get it to work
