Seeking Solution: Integrating OpenStreetMaps into Expo Without Payment Tie-Ins

Aurel Statnik — Mon, 13 Nov 2023 12:32:47 +0000

Hello Dev.to community! 🌍

I'm facing the challenge of integrating OpenStreetMaps into my Expo application and I'm in need of a solution that doesn't require linking payment details. Unfortunately, Google Maps and Mapbox are ruled out due to their insistence on payment card registration during sign-up. I believe there are seasoned developers here who can offer valuable insights.

If you have experience with integrating OpenStreetMaps into Expo or know of alternative solutions that might suit my needs, please share your expertise. I would greatly appreciate any information or advice on this topic.

Thanks in advance for your help! 🙏

Issue with MapView in Expo: Works in Dev Mode but Crashes in Production

Aurel Statnik — Thu, 09 Nov 2023 13:13:41 +0000

Facing a peculiar issue here and turning to the community for some guidance. Everything seems smooth in dev mode, but when I build for production or create an apk file, opening the map leads to a crash. Strangely, this issue is Android-specific; on iOS, it works like a charm.

🤔 Anybody else come across a similar situation? How did you tackle it?

Here's a quick rundown of the problem:

Scenario: Using Expo with MapView in the project.
Issue: All good in dev mode, but crashes in production or when building an apk.
iOS vs. Android: Problem only occurs on Android; iOS is unaffected.

import MapView, { Marker } from "react-native-maps";
// ...

<MapView
  style={styles.map}
  region={mapRegion}
  loadingEnabled={true}
  loadingBackgroundColor={Colors.background}
  loadingIndicatorColor={Colors.primary.primary_main}
  onPress={onPressSetGeoInfo}
>
  <Marker
    coordinate={mapRegion}
    title={showMarker(marker)}
    image={require('../../assets/location_on.png')}
  />
</MapView>

Appreciate any advice or insights! Maybe someone has already dealt with this and knows what's up.

🙌 Thanks in advance for your support and ideas! 🚀
