Description

As you may know, the ionic provides as @ionic-native/google-maps, but the wrapper plugin is not written by me actually.
Because of this, there are lots of bugs in the wrapper plugin.

I fixed lots of problems, but too many bugs.
In order to figure out the bugs, and fix them, I need to create the demo of all methods.
Some contributors and I tried to create that, but it takes so much time, and no profits.

The keypoint is time is money.
Working on the @ionic-native/google-maps spend my private time a lot.
Also the time of the contributors as well.

I discussed with the ionic team regarding the sponsor ship , but they refused my offer.
That's why I stop fixing the @ionic-native/google-maps plugin anymore.

However, I also understand many ionic users prefer the @ionic-native/google-maps plugin instead of the pure JS version. But nobody pay for our work.

Thus, I start the fund raising at here to fix the problems of the @ionic-native/google-maps plugin.

If the amount reach to $1,000 USD, we will restart the working to create the demo project.

At the same time, I will restart to fix the @ionic-native/google-maps plugin.

Until the time, we stop our activities for a while.

Hi @wf9a5m75, apologies for not following up in a timely manner on your email. We haven't refused to support the project, it's just not something we've done before so I hope you'll understand it's a process on our end figuring out how to do that.

However, we just donated to the cause which I hope helps in the short term. We very much appreciate your support and understand there's a large demand on your time from the community.

I will follow up via email and we can continue the conversation there.

Since the total amount is reached to the end, I close this thread at once, and I support the closed issues.
And I will send the PR, which is I closed before, to the @ionic-native repository.
Also the contributors and I resume the demo project.
