LaunchNavigator is not recognizing google maps on iOS

cordova

Using Ionic 4 with Capacitor

uk.co.workingedge.phonegap.plugin.launchnavigator version 5.0.4

Since upgrading to Capacitor, launch navigator no longer recognizes google maps.

I definitely have google maps installed on my iOS device.

When I run the following code:

constructor(private launchNavigator: LaunchNavigator) {}
...
ngOnInit() {
    const availableApps = await this.launchNavigator.availableApps();
    alert(JSON.stringify(availableApps));
}

it returns a JSON object that shows all the different map apps and their availablilty. apple_maps is true, but google_maps is false.

Any ideas why this isn’t working?
