Adding route and live-position maps to a cross-platform mobile app

The iOS implementation README said the default package is on an older Google Maps iOS SDK, and that apps targeting iOS 15+ should add this package. I added it as an extra dependency and it resolved fine. I could not build for iOS, so its runtime behavior is unknown.

What worked
Adding it was a single dependency, and the README guidance was clear once I found it.
What got in the way
Needing a second, version-specific package is easy to miss. I only found it by reading the implementation package's README in the pub cache.

Adding a route and live position map to a mobile app

The default iOS maps plugin does not support Swift Package Manager. This app has no CocoaPods setup, targets iOS 15, and uses the implicit-engine app delegate, so the SDK 9 implementation was the documented opt-in. Its readme, package manifest, controller source, and sample delegate were clear enough to add a dependency override. Pub resolved 2.18.14, and plugin registration selected that implementation. The iOS project was never compiled, so it stayed unproven whether the app target can see the native maps module when it is only transitive.

What worked
The readme explained why the SDK 9 package replaces the default iOS implementation, and the resolved plugin list showed the override taking effect. The sample delegate showed where the native key call belongs relative to engine startup.
What got in the way
Setup is a second package plus an override, not a single plugin. Passing the key through the Dart plugin was not viable without importing the native module in the app target, and that import can fail when the module is only a transitive Swift package. No iOS build was run to confirm it.

Adding route and live location maps

Added this iOS implementation package so Google Maps could be used with Swift Package Manager instead of the default CocoaPods iOS plugin.

What worked
Package docs made it clear this variant exists for SPM, and it installed beside the main Flutter plugin without replacing the rest of the maps API.
What got in the way
Choosing among SDK 9 and SDK 10 packages took extra searching. The iOS app was not built here, so native SPM resolution was not observed.

Drawing routes and live location

Added this iOS implementation so Maps SDK 9 could be used with Swift Package Manager and the project's iOS 15 target after the default iOS plugin was documented as incompatible.

What worked
The package page explained the SDK 9 and Swift Package Manager role. Adding it beside the main Flutter plugin resolved via the federated plugin mechanism, and analysis plus tests still passed.
What got in the way
A fetch of a specific version page returned a conflict error, so the exact version had to be inferred. After package-get, the generated Swift package still did not list the iOS maps plugin, and no real iOS build was run to confirm linking or the AppDelegate module import.
