I noticed this occurs since last year I saw to now.
I thought this is implementation of your code, because this occurs only your app.
(You know what I checks lots of other people projects.)

Debugging your app, I always face trouble, because your app download the actual source code from your server into your app.
Is there any way to load your source code from in your app instead of downoad?

[wf9a5m75]

Regarding of Sometimes Missing, I fixed a bug in another issue report that might be related with this issue.
Please retry with the latest version. Thanks.

[KimberleeDArmstrong]

I have create a new repository with the code included in the project. I sent you an invite to it. I will test latest version for missing icons.

[wf9a5m75]

Great!

[wf9a5m75]

Did you sent the invitation?

[KimberleeDArmstrong]

Yes I did. I just sent it again though.

Thank you for re-send the invitation. It worked.

Then I checked your code.
You specified disableAutoPan: true a lot, that's why the map not pan to the marker.

[KimberleeDArmstrong]

I thought "disableAutoPan" means when you click on the marker do not automatically pan the map to center the marker. That is not my issue. I am running the function...

googleMap.animateCamera( {
'target': {lat:data.lat, lng:data.lon},
'tilt':0,
'zoom': parseInt(20),
'bearing':0,
'duration':1000
}, function() {
popup.trigger(plugin.google.maps.event.MARKER_CLICK);
fixTitlesBySvcIdx(service_index);
});

In the video I made of the issue you can see that I am sending a valid lat/lon to the animateCamera function and it doesn't do anything.

[KimberleeDArmstrong]

FYI I just made changes to the project. I changed the server it needs to point to. I also tested the latest plugin and still have missing marker icons.

[wf9a5m75]

Status: confirmed.

[wf9a5m75]

Very strange. The issue happens from the third time certainly, and the native code is not executed at the third time.

[wf9a5m75]

Ok, I got the reason.

[wf9a5m75]

Fixed.

[KimberleeDArmstrong]

When I downloaded the latest plugin to try it out, I couldn't get it to work. Instead of getting a map, I am getting a white screen. No "Google", No location target symbol. I was able to reproduce on BitBucket Repository by updating to the latest plugin. I saw some error about no access to InverseDeviceID, but I am not sure if that is related or not. Let me know if you want me to open a new issue.

[wf9a5m75]

Could you show me the result of $> cordova plugin list?

[KimberleeDArmstrong]

Most certainly..

[wf9a5m75]

Okay

[wf9a5m75]

Did you download the plugin in today?

[KimberleeDArmstrong]

yes just prior to posting. I have downloaded it several times over the last 24 hours and all were giving me this behavior.

[wf9a5m75]

Umm, I reproduced this issue, but I haven't changed iOS code so much after fixing this issue.

[KimberleeDArmstrong]

It worked at first and then it just stopped working and getting the white screen. At first I thought it was my code because it worked on one server and not the other. Then I diffed all the source code and it was identical. Then I moved back to working server and it didn't work either and no code had changed. I didn't post immediately because everything pointed to not being a plugin issue, but I hit a wall trying to solve it myself.

[wf9a5m75]

Okay, thank you for your debugging. I'm checking my commit history

[wf9a5m75]

It seems this is the reason.
https://github.com/mapsplugin/cordova-plugin-googlemaps/commit/a1781ed20b27325fa86d42b7c5943cacea4f0c1b

[KimberleeDArmstrong]

I did notice that when it was working that some marker icons were still missing and the infowindow that was open was fixed and didn't adjust with panning, just an FYI.

[wf9a5m75]

some marker icons were still missing

Could you find the condition?
I didn't detect which one is missing.
(because this is not my app, I don't know all locations)

and didn't adjust with panning

Could you explain more details?

[KimberleeDArmstrong]

Understood. I am trying to download version b10a09f361f2a72e4e61e50d971e110efb8d1759 of the plugin so I can do that for you.

[wf9a5m75]

Okay, I fixed the issue map is white.
Please try again.

[KimberleeDArmstrong]

Yay!!! Fixed. I am not getting the info window issue with this version but I am still getting missing markers. I am trying to make a video to help.

Fixed.
