when i'm go to mention file src/before_plugin_rm.js i found that the require function get a wrong path for xml2js

var xml2js = require('../node_modules/xml2js');

when i correct the path from above line to this

var xml2js = require('../../../node_modules/xml2js');

the problem solved successfully

+1 Same problem here.

[YousefRabieKhalil]

i mentioned the solution above
in plugins/cordova-plugin-googlemaps/src/before_plugin_rm.js replace
var xml2js = require('../node_modules/xml2js');
with
var xml2js = require('../../../node_modules/xml2js');
will solve the problem

Please tell me how did you install the plugins. Please write all steps how to reproduce this problem 100%.

[YousefRabieKhalil]

1- install the google plugins
ionic cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-googlemaps --variable API_KEY_FOR_ANDROID="ANFROID_KEY" --variable API_KEY_FOR_IOS="IOS_KEY"
2- install the ionic npm native library
npm install --save @ionic-native/google-maps
after this when try to remove any other plugin from my ionic native plugins it's give me this error

[wf9a5m75]

Thank you for sharing the information. It seems this cause depends on ionic version.

[wf9a5m75]

Okay, I fixed the problem. Please try the multiple_maps branch version.

$> cordova plugin add https://github.com/mapsplugin/cordova-plugin-googlemaps.git#multiple_maps --variable API_KEY_FOR_ANDROID="..."

[YousefRabieKhalil]

i'm very sorry for late replay , i will try the multiple_maps and give you a feedback

[wf9a5m75]

Did you test?

[zwacky]

I ran into the same problem.
not sure if it's an other issue but using the multiple_maps branch by @wf9a5m75 I got the following error.
I reverted back to simple and old cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-googlemaps --variable … + manually change the src before_plugin_rm.js.
