Could you please write more detailed info?
Are you running real device or simulator?
I am running with simulator and it is working for me.

[richieferns]

I am running it on simulator(Iphone 6 IOS 10.2)
If i add a pin, pin shows but the map is still blank.

It is caused, because you have not specified API key in Variables.cs

[richieferns]

I did specify the Api Key, in App.delegate ..
something Xamarin.FormsGoogleMaps.Init(MapsApiKey);
where MapsApiKey has the valid google key

[ghost]

Try following Build->Clean All
Remember API key for iOS is different than for Android

[richieferns]

still the same, have added a new API key for IOS,
and the package name added under identifier.. in the IOS application

Map is now showing, had to enable Google Maps SDK for iOS from Google console

I just want add more precise information since i had similar situation.
You need to select "Google Maps SDK for iOS" from url and press enable.
