React-native-google-places-autocomplete: Web support example timeout

[consciousweb]

Describe the bug

Using the web support example, autosuggestions work on ios, but not on the web. The web console shows a timeout

Reproduction - (required - issue will be closed without this)

import React from 'react';
import { GooglePlacesAutocomplete } from 'react-native-google-places-autocomplete';

const GooglePlacesInput = () => {
  return (
    <GooglePlacesAutocomplete
      placeholder='Search'
      onPress={(data, details = null) => {
        // 'details' is provided when fetchDetails = true
        console.log(data, details);
      }}
      query={{
        key: 'YOUR API KEY',
        language: 'en',
      }}
      requestUrl={{
        useOnPlatform: 'web', // or "all"
        url:
          'https://cors-anywhere.herokuapp.com/https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api', // or any proxy server that hits https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api
      }}
    />
  );
};
export default GooglePlacesInput;

I just double checked this on expo-web. Please make sure your key has billing enabled etc

billing is enabled, and is working correctly on other platforms, just not web.

[bell-steven]

Are you using expo-web or some other (react) framework?

Without a reproducible example, it's hard to determine if the issue is a bug in the library vs a bug elsewhere in the code.

Perhaps this could be related - the number of allowed requests on the cors-anywhere.herokuapp.com server went down about a month or two ago, and as of Feb 1 it is no longer an open server:

I found this very helpful in setting up my own CORS server

Thanks @brforest. I am going to update the docs and the snack to remove any reference to cors-anywhere.
