[com.google.android.apps.maps] Latest Google Maps no longer works

[dimaryaz]

Affected app Name: Maps Package id: com.google.android.apps.maps

Describe the bug Google Maps versions 1066536935 and 1066546582 no longer seem to work. First symptom was, I couldn't open the details of any business and couldn't get directions (though it did work a couple times after I restarted the app). I tried clearing the storage - and now, Google Maps just freezes when I try to open it.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install latest Google Maps
2. Search for anything
3. Open details or get directions
4. The results never finish loading

Expected behavior (Everything should work as before.)

Screenshots If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

System Android Version: 11 Custom ROM: Lineage for MicroG 18.1

microG microG Core version: 0.2.24.214816 microG Self-Check results: All ticked

Additional context Here's output from adb logcat (I tried to remove some of the garbage). Unfortunately, I don't know if these are new errors because I don't even know the version code for the last working Google Maps, so can't try it.

Class loader issues?

Found the last working version: 1066514671 (11.30.4).

Though when I run it, the same three errors show up in logcat, so I guess none of them are relevant?

From your log it try to load something from https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox It is possible that it now require it? Have you tried?

[dimaryaz]

Just tried installing it - but no, didn't make a difference.

Confirmed on eOS 1.2 0.2.24.214816-18

Latest Google Maps works for me with the latest release (currently 0.2.25.223616) of microG GmsCore and no longer nag about Play Services update.

I'm closing it since it is probably fixed and the user disappeared. If there are still issues please tell me.
