Ok for information i’ve got this error when I add official google map plugin. I’ve added new plugin with

cordova plugin add [https://github.com/phonegap-googlemaps-plugin/cordova-plugin-googlemaps](https://github.com/phonegap-googlemaps-plugin/cordova-plugin-googlemaps) --variable API\_KEY\_FOR\_ANDROID=“YOUR\_ANDROID\_API\_KEY\_IS\_HERE” --variable API\_KEY\_FOR\_IOS=“YOUR\_IOS\_API\_KEY\_IS\_HERE”

And it’s work fine!
