Error Installing Google Maps Native Plugin in with Ionic

Ionic Native
1

I am using Ionic 3-Angular 4 to build an app, and I am trying to add Google Maps native SDK plugin and I keep getting the following Error:

Error: Failed to fetch plugin file:node_modules/cordova-plugin-googlemaps via registry.
Probably this is either a connection problem, or plugin spec is incorrect.
Check your connection and plugin name/version/URL.

Open the config.xml, package.json and package-lock.json files, then remove the lines cordova-plugin-googlemaps from them.

Then install without cache

$> npm clean cache

$> cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-googlemaps --variable
API_KEY_FOR_ANDROID="..." --no-cache

Well, I tried that, but it is still not working. What I realized is, it generates this error only if IOS platform is added.
I tried adding the platform first, and then adding the plugin and it gives the error.
Then, it does the same thing when I reverse the process, but it works very fine between Android plaform and the plugin.
So, it is only a problem of IOS and the plugin. Any help?

first resolve issue need to resovle

ionic doctor check

then remove the google maps plugin

$ npm uninstall --save @ionic-native/google-maps
ionic cordova plugin rm cordova-plugin-googlemaps

you may have to remove the ios plaform and readd it to clear dependencies

ionic cordova platform rm ios
ionic cordova platform add ios

then re-add google maps plugin
