Error: Failed to fetch plugin cordova-plugin-googlemaps@^2.2.8 via registry.
Probably this is either a connection problem, or plugin spec is incorrect.
Check your connection and plugin name/version/URL.
Error: npm: Command failed with exit code 1 Error output:
npm ERR! code ETARGET
npm ERR! notarget No matching version found for cordova-plugin-googlemaps@^2.2.8
npm ERR! notarget In most cases you or one of your dependencies are requesting
npm ERR! notarget a package version that doesn't exist.

If you use @ionic-native/google-maps, please tell the package.json (only @ionic-native/core and @ionic-native/google-maps are fine mostly)

Current behavior:
I am unable to install the plugin. Can you please help me out?

Expected behavior:

[wf9a5m75]

version2.2.8 is not released to npm yet.

@tonyawad88 For now you can use multiple_maps branch to use latest version of the plugin.

[tonyawad88]

Thank you for the suggestion. I still can't get the multiple_maps for some reason.

When I execute the following:

cordova plugin add https://github.com/mapsplugin/cordova-plugin-googlemaps#multiple_maps

I get an error to retrieve it, I tried multiple times and I still get it (thoughts?):

Error: Failed to fetch plugin https://github.com/mapsplugin/cordova-plugin-googlemaps#multiple_maps via registry.
Probably this is either a connection problem, or plugin spec is incorrect.

Did you first removed plugin then install it again?

$> cordova plugin rm cordova-plugin-googlemaps

$> rm -rf node_modules/cordova-plugin-googlemaps

$> rm -rf plugins/cordova-plugin-googlemaps

$> cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-googlemaps#multiple_maps  --variable API_KEY_FOR_ANDROID="your_android_api_key" --variable API_KEY_FOR_IOS="your_ios_api_key"

[tonyawad88]

That helped the local builds, thank you.
Any idea why potentially the Ionic Pro Cloud builds fails with the following error?

Discovered plugin "cordova-plugin-googlemaps" in config.xml. Adding it to the project
Fetching plugin "git+https://github.com/mapsplugin/cordova-plugin-googlemaps.git" via git clone
Failed to restore plugin "cordova-plugin-googlemaps" from config.xml. You might need to try adding it again. Error: Failed to fetch plugin git+https://github.com/mapsplugin/cordova-plugin-googlemaps.git via git.
Either there is a connection problems, or plugin spec is incorrect:
    Error: git: Command failed with exit code 128 Error output:

@tonyawad88
Check your package.json for googlemaps. Should be exactly like this, if you using multiple_maps:

"cordova-plugin-googlemaps": "git+https://github.com/mapsplugin/cordova-plugin-googlemaps.git#multiple_maps",

[tonyawad88]

My package.json has these entries:

"cordova-plugin-googlemaps": "git+https://github.com/mapsplugin/cordova-plugin-googlemaps.git#multiple_maps",
"cordova-plugin-googlemaps-sdk": "git+https://github.com/mapsplugin/cordova-plugin-googlemaps-sdk.git#2.6.0",

[Michazzz]

So it could the problem with git on the cluod. Check this issue, looks like related to yours:
https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic-cli/issues/2716

[tonyawad88]

Thanks for digging up that ticket. I will follow it.

One of the suggestions they have is to replace config.xml and package.json spec with the following:
package.json:

"cordova-plugin-googlemaps": "git+ssh://github.com/mapsplugin/cordova-plugin-googlemaps.git#multiple_maps",
"cordova-plugin-googlemaps-sdk": "git+https://github.com/mapsplugin/cordova-plugin-googlemaps-sdk.git#2.6.0",

config.xml:

<plugin name="cordova-plugin-googlemaps" spec="ssh://github.com/mapsplugin/cordova-plugin-googlemaps#multiple_maps">

I get a similar error as well when trying it locally. Mind you if we try adding this plugin using the standard way "cordova-plugin-googlemaps", on previous versions the Ionic Pro Cloud was able to build it.

Error:

Error: npm: Command failed with exit code 1 Error output:
npm ERR! Error while executing:
npm ERR! /usr/bin/git ls-remote -h -t ssh://[email protected]/mapsplugin/cordova-plugin-googlemaps.git

@tonyawad88 So Maybe it will be good idea wait few hours for update a master to 2.2.8 and then back to the standard build way?

[wf9a5m75]

v2.2.8 is now available on npm.

[tonyawad88]

I can confirm the following worked great. Thank you @Michazzz @wf9a5m75

package.json:

"cordova-plugin-googlemaps": "^2.2.8",
"cordova-plugin-googlemaps-sdk": "git+https://github.com/mapsplugin/cordova-plugin-googlemaps-sdk.git#2.6.0",

i keep getting this,

Error: Failed to fetch plugin git+https://github.com/mapsplugin/cordova-plugin-googlemaps.git#multiple_maps via registry.
Probably this is either a connection problem, or plugin spec is incorrect.
Check your connection and plugin name/version/URL.

I'm trying to install multiple_maps branch

[battika]

I have the same issue all the time but when I re-run the install command
again it will get installed.

I had the same problem ...
I already had a project on Android developed on Windows 10 and I was now working on Mac for iOS. When I wanted to add the platform (sudo ionic cordova platform add ios) I had this problem ... I tried many things but the problem was that I added "sudo" in the command line. Removing "sudo" gave me permission errors in the platforms / ios directory, so I gave it read / write permissions and ran the command again ...
This was what worked for me, I hope it serves the one who has this problem
