Installation

First, download the library from npm:

npm install react-native-maps --save

Then you must install the native dependencies. You can use rnpm to add native dependencies automatically:

$ rnpm link

or do it manually as described below:

iOS

1. Open your project in XCode, right click on Libraries and click Add Files to "Your Project Name" Look under node_modules/react-native-maps and add AIRMaps.xcodeproj.
2. Add libAIRMaps.a to `Build Phases -> Link Binary With Libraries.
3. Click on AIRMaps.xcodeproj in Libraries and go the Build Settings tab. Double click the text to the right of Header Search Paths and verify that it has $(SRCROOT)/../react-native/React as well as $(SRCROOT)/../react-native/Libraries/Image - if they aren't, then add them. This is so XCode is able to find the headers that the AIRMaps source files are referring to by pointing to the header files installed within the react-native node_modules directory.
4. Whenever you want to use it within React code now you can: var MapView = require('react-native-maps');

Android

1. in android/settings.gradle

     include ':app', ':react-native-maps'
     project(':react-native-maps').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-maps/android')
   

2. in android/app/build.gradle add:

   dependencies {
       ...
       compile project(':react-native-maps')
   }
   

3. and finally, in android/src/main/java/com/{YOUR_APP_NAME}/MainActivity.java add:

   ...
   import com.AirMaps.AirPackage; // <--- This!
   ...
   @Override
   protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
       super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
       mReactRootView = new ReactRootView(this);
   
       mReactInstanceManager = ReactInstanceManager.builder()
               .setApplication(getApplication())
               .setBundleAssetName("index.android.bundle")
               .setJSMainModuleName("index.android")
               .addPackage(new MainReactPackage())
               .addPackage(new AirPackage()) // <---- and This!
               .setUseDeveloperSupport(BuildConfig.DEBUG)
               .setInitialLifecycleState(LifecycleState.RESUMED)
               .build();
   
       mReactRootView.startReactApplication(mReactInstanceManager, "MyApp", null);
   
       setContentView(mReactRootView);
   }
   

4. specify your Google Maps API Key in your AndroidManifest.xml:

<application
  android:allowBackup="true"
  android:label="@string/app_name"
  android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
  android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
    <!-- You will only need to add this meta-data tag, but make sure it's a child of application -->
    <meta-data
      android:name="com.google.android.geo.API_KEY"
      android:value="{{Your Google maps API Key Here}}"/>
</application>

5. Ensure that you have Google Play Services installed
