MapView doesn't show up on iOS using 0.10

Bug Reports

Tested using pre-release 0.10.0 (build 5986). Can’t seem to get the MapView to show up on iPhone 6. The element is there (as seen when setting a Background on it), experimented with setting other properties as well (Style, Width, Height, Zoom etc.) - no effect.

Did not see anything reasonable or related to MapView in XCode debug log, neither in Fuse Monitor. When building iOS preview in Terminal, I see a reference to Maps package and multiple mentions of MapView.

Made a simple test app:

<App Theme="Basic" Background="#333333ff">
    <ClientPanel>
        <NativeViewHost>
            <MapView Width="300" Height="300" Background="#fff" />
        </NativeViewHost>
    </ClientPanel>
</App>

Included “Fuse.Maps” in .unoproj Packages:

{
  "RootNamespace":"",
  "Packages": [
        "Fuse.Animations",
        "Fuse.BasicTheme",
        "Fuse.Themes",
        "Fuse.Controls",
        "Fuse.Designer",
        "Fuse.Drawing",
        "Fuse.Drawing.Primitives",
        "Fuse.Effects",
        "Fuse.Elements",
        "Fuse.Entities",
        "Fuse.Gestures",
        "Fuse.Maps",
        "Fuse.Navigation",
        "Fuse.Shapes",
        "Fuse.Triggers",
        "Fuse.Reactive",
        "Fuse.Android",
        "Fuse.Desktop",
        "Fuse.iOS",
        "Fuse.Vibration",
        "FuseCore",
        "Uno.Collections",
        "Uno.Geometry"
  ],
  "Includes": [
    "*"
  ]
}

Hey, thanks for the exhaustive report. The issue has been found and a hotfix is incoming :slight_smile:

Update: When trying to run a preview on Android (CAT B15) with the same code as above, but without adding the respective “Android” section to .unoproj:

"Android": {
  "Geo": {
    "ApiKey": "googlemapsapikeygoeshere"
  }
}

Then the app kind of crashes (it’s still running, but only shows background) and Fuse Monitor goes into an evil loop of something like this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/zobxmpbq12uxae5/Screenshot%202016-03-03%2013.40.57.png?dl=0 I even couldn’t stop it to copy the text, sorry.

When one adds the “Android” section to .unoproj, even without a valid Google Api Key, the app seems to run fine and does not crash immediately, also the Fuse Monitor says nothing.

Edit: when adding the “Android” section to .unoproj file AND using a valid Api Key, the MapView successfully loads the map.
