I'm getting this log when using StrictMode:

StrictMode policy violation: android.os.strictmode.IncorrectContextUseViolation: The API:ViewConfiguration needs a proper configuration.

This is my code.

GoogleMap(
        modifier = Modifier
            .fillMaxSize()
            .background(color = Color.Gray),
        cameraPositionState = cameraPositionState,
        contentPadding = paddings,
        uiSettings = mapSettings,
    ) {
        latLng?.let {
            VehicleMarker(it, onSetupEvent)
            MapEffect(latLng) {
                cameraPositionState.animate(
                    CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(latLng, 16f),
                )
            }
        }
    }

I see the same issue with maps-compose 3.1.1.

My current workaround where GoogleMaps composable is used:

  if (strictModeEnabled) {
       DisposableEffect(Unit) {
           val prevThreadPolicy = StrictMode.allowThreadDiskReads()
           onDispose {
               StrictMode.setThreadPolicy(prevThreadPolicy)
           }
       }
   }

@hlandim your StrictMode problem looks very different from what this issue is about. Consider creating a new issue?
