08/21/2025, 9:39 AMHi developers, Do we have any way to have google maps in Compose Multiplatform other then via cocoapods and making the package available in iosMain so that I can write it in kotlin code.
Cinterop wont work beacuse the GoogleMapsIOS through SPM moves the dependencies and creates a moving target problem.
Do we have any solutions?

Have to get your hands dirty and write a bit of Swift code but it’s really not to difficult. My article can be used has a handrail of sort; though I don’t link to the project.

08/25/2025, 6:02 AMThanks this DI approach looks good, and I thing i would need to tweak some things as needed for myself for possible use of the approach,
I had some use cases and I guess I can be done now and wouldn't need to worry about cocoapods any more
