Google Maps in the customer app

The customer app shows Google maps when a customer picks their address. (The seller and rider apps don’t need a key.)

1. Google Cloud console → the same project as your server key → APIs & Services → Library → enable Maps SDK for Android and Maps SDK for iOS.
2. Credentials → Create credentials → API key. Restrict it:
   • for Android: Android apps → your package name and SHA-1;
   • or create a second key for iOS: iOS apps → your bundle ID.
3. Android: add it to apps/customer/android/local.properties:

   GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY=AIza…

4. iOS: copy the example file and add the key:

   cd apps/customer/ios/Flutter
   cp Maps.xcconfig.example Maps.xcconfig

   ios/Flutter/Maps.xcconfig

   GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY=AIza…

5. Stop the app completely and run it again (a hot reload doesn’t pick up the key).

A grey map with a Google logo means the key is missing, restricted to the wrong app, or the Maps SDK isn’t enabled.
