It seems you use the v2 plugin with ionic wrapper, but the ionic wrapper does not support the plugin v2 yet.

You need to write your code WITHOUT the ionic wrapper.

I tried this before I tried the ionic wrapper and it still failed with this

      plugin.google.maps.Geocoder.geocode({
        "position": {"lat": 43.031873, "lng": -71.073203}
      }, function(results) {

        if (results.length === 0) {
          // Not found
          console.log('NOT FOUND');
          return;
        }

        console.log(results[0]);
      });

Since this plugin just returns the results of native APIs. No results means Google can not find answer or your app is blocked.

[thpoiani]

How can I know if I'm blocked?

[steveacalabro]

@thpoiani Honestly, you should take a look at your design. I ended up pushing this geocoding to the server since I was getting lat and lng from the native geolocation package anyway. The support for doing this on the device ended up not making sense for our app.

[thpoiani]

@steveacalabro In my scenario, we want to do this on the device but we are getting empty results :(

[wf9a5m75]

Unfortunately, this plugin just make a request to Google or Apple through the native APIs. If you get empty result, I can not do anything.

[thpoiani]

@wf9a5m75 Can I check my API KEY?

[wf9a5m75]

What do you mean?

[steveacalabro]

@thpoiani Another person on my team did get a proof of concept working with the code from that ionic2 notes page and setting up the correct app enabled on google. I think it ended up being a strange enabled api, I would find out which maps one it was and try that

[steveacalabro]

I think its one of the following. Don't know for sure since he is not here.

[wf9a5m75]

This plugin needs just Google Maps SDK for iOS and Google Maps Android API v2

[thpoiani]

@wf9a5m75 Can I check if the KEY API was added to the plugin?
Maybe that's could be the problem.

I'm trying to run this code but I got no results

plugin.google.maps.Geocoder.geocode({'position': {lat:-21.80273646969314,lng:-48.1786909326911}}, console.log)

cordova-plugin-googlemaps 2.0.0-beta2-20170731-1540 "cordova-plugin-googlemaps"

[wf9a5m75]

plugin.google.maps.Geocoder.geocode({
  'position': {lat:-21.80273646969314,lng:-48.1786909326911}
}, function(result) {
 console.log(result);
});

[thpoiani]

@wf9a5m75 empty too :disappointed:

[wf9a5m75]

Are you testing on Android or iOS?

[thpoiani]

Android

[wf9a5m75]

plugin.google.maps.Geocoder.geocode({'position': {lat:-21.80273646969314,lng:-48.1786909326911}}, function(results) {

console.log(results);
});

[wf9a5m75]

Plugin works fine.

[thpoiani]

I will try to reinstall the plugin

[wf9a5m75]

You can use this plugin also.
https://ionicframework.com/docs/native/native-geocoder/

I checked the code, and code is almost the same.

[thpoiani]

After reinstall the plugin, restart my device and change the wifi network.. its working :)
