My app has some code for opening directly to Google Maps. We're attempting to open directly to Street View for a particular coordinate using a URL like so:
comgooglemaps-x-callback://?center=47.613371,-122.313167&mapmode=streetview&x-success=myurlscheme://noop&x-source=MyApp
I'm seeing an infinite spinner with the Street View never loading.
This URL scheme is documented and has worked for several years, until a recent update.
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/ios-sdk/urlscheme
Is this feature of the app busted or did the URL scheme change?
This has been fixed in the latest release of google maps iOS app. Please check it.
Reference : https://github.com/googlemaps/OpenInGoogleMaps-iOS/issues/6
This is a bug ( or documentation needs updating) as I was able to verify this working with the previous Google Maps iOS build of 4.14(the last update). Also verified with other iOS apps that use StreetView.
submitted issue but this has not been acknowledged as a bug yet.

It looks like it's been accepted as a bug according to Google. I've heard that it will be fixed with next update, but that is not official.

Google has a new app, I believe we are supposed to use this instead but I've not tried it yet!! I still have not seen updated documentation on website that confirms this.

So I have implemented Firebase Dynamic Links in my app. I thought that I had them set up correctly, because they work for my own personal device and the simulators perfectly. I released the update to the app, but when two of my friends tried to open them after updating to the new version, it takes them to the Firebase website citing an error. I click the same link and it opens my app and handles the link.
Firebase has added the apple app site association to my domain prefix, I have added the a--link in my app's capabilities, I am truly at a loss as to why this may be. Even if they click the link from notes, it does not give them the option to open the link with my app like it will for me.
Is there anything that I could be overlooking? Happy to supply any relevant details but I feel like I have to be missing something.
App Links:
applinks:share.***.app
URL Type is set up in Target Info.
Custom Dynamic Domain is set in info.plist.
For others that come across this, it seems to be an open Apple bug: http://www.openradar.me/radar?id=4999496467480576
After several days, the user's apps downloaded the proper AASA and the deep links began to work. There doesn't seem to be a workaround with Google Dynamic Links, but Branch.io offers forced URI redirect mode to avoid this issue.
I’m using GoogleMaps pod in my iOS application and it was working fine, but in my last build, apple reject my application. And the reason behind that is, the map was unable to load at the time of review on iPad running iOS 12.2 on Wi-Fi.
I did try to reproduce that bug on my device but I couldn’t.
Application do ask for location permission
Google Place API key also seems ok.
Is there any way to identify what the actual issue is and how I am supposed to solve this one?
Finally, I've solved that issue and for that, I've done some of the changes in my project.
1 - I've patched the latest Google Plist file in the project (I wasn't sure whether the old one was latest or not)
2 - I was using multi language in my project so before setting the delegate of google map, I've set the language for my project.
3 - instead of set the google map from Storyboard, I've set the google map programmatically in my view controller after setting language.
After surfing for so long to solve this issue, I came to know that this issue occurs when your App supports multi language. These some steps did work for me.
We have recently noticed that our app's Evernote integration has stopped working. I've pinpointed it to the new Evernote app update released on January 19th that brings the app to version 8.0.1. Specifically the "IsEvernoteInstalled()" function no longer works, and neither do any ENSession calls that open notes in the Evernote app itself (viewNoteInEvernote for example). I made sure I have the latest version of the Evernote Cloud SDK here:
https://github.com/evernote/evernote-cloud-sdk-ios
but I'm still not having any luck. One oddity I've noticed is that the only required LSApplicationQueriesSchemes item mentioned in the documentation is "en" yet the source code for the app is trying to open "evernote://" urls. Also the "IsEvernoteInstalled" function checks "en://". The current version of the Evernote iOS app appears to only have "evernote://" as a registered scheme so I'm confused. I tried adding "evernote" as another application query scheme, but that did not help. It appears that the Evernote Cloud SDK has not been updated to remain functional with the new version of the app, but maybe I'm missing something?
Thank you.
I think the change of URL scheme is unintentional and will be fixed on the Evernote side.
We are trying to analyze where the users come from with branch's getLatestReferringParams in React Native, however in iOS the params for ['+clicked_branch_link'] is always undefined when the actual sessions comes from a branch link, this problem is only happening with iOS (it's working with Android), and we have also tested trying to open this link via Chrome in the iPhone and it worked. I'm not completely sure if it's related to something going on with Safari or with the OS versions. Any guideline would be very welcome. Thanks Here is a small snippet of the code we are trying to implement
const lastParams = await branch.getLatestReferringParams()
const comesFromBranchLink = lastParams['+clicked_branch_link'] # Giving us undefined when it comes from a branch link
const isAReferralLink = lastParams['~feature'] === 'referral'
Edit: We tested again and basically it doesn't recognize the branch link, only if it comes from Google Chrome.
Alex from Branch.io here: this sounds like a possible configuration issue with Universal Links.
I see you have also submitted a ticket to our Integrations team, which is the quickest way to get a solution. I will make sure we follow up here with an update when the issue has been resolved!
While reading a tutorial on Google Analytics for iOS I wanted to know which version of iOS I was running.
I've googled for phrases like "ios version google analytics" but couldn't find anything useful.
Basically I want to know the number of users running my app on any iOS version, e.g. iOS 6, iOS 7 etc.
I've also checked the Google Analytics documentation, but couldn't find a proper method. The device info on Google Analytics dashboard just shows "iPhone" but does not mention the iOS version.
Is there a way to get the exact iOS version via Google Analytics?
I created you a custom report so you can see how the information is saved. Os Custom Report
I think what you are after is Operating system and Operating system version.
There is a method, go to
Audience > Technology > Browser & OS > The browser version matches the firmware*.
Might not match exactly, but in my experience its more than accurate enough and I am 95% it does match always.
Hope that helps Tushar
So I was looking for a solution here as well. I came across this article by Phillip Studiniski that shows you how to measure the iPhone screens by screen resolution.
https://analytical42.com/2017/detect-and-track-iphone-models-in-google-analytics/
I attempted to go this route. The problem I ran into was that I was just getting a raw output of the screen resolution in GTM, it would look something like this.
{"width":375,"height":667,"ratio":2.0000000454608653}
No problem I thought. I moved this into a RegEx table. Click here to see a sample RegEx for this Once I did this, I was able to properly identify the iPhone version with a variable and then send it to Google Analytics through Google Tag Manager variable.
I then had to update the iPhone models a bit since it has been a while since the article was written. (https://iosref.com/res) This includes the models from 11 to 13.
BOOM! iPhone version now being sent to GA. Hope this helps everyone.
