✔ Check Expo config for common issues
✔ Check package.json for common issues
✔ Check native tooling versions
✔ Check dependencies for packages that should not be installed directly
✔ Check for common project setup issues
✔ Check for issues with metro config
✔ Check npm/ yarn versions
✔ Check Expo config (app.json/ app.config.js) schema
✔ Check that packages match versions required by installed Expo SDK
✔ Check for legacy global CLI installed locally
✔ Check that native modules do not use incompatible support packages
✔ Check that native modules use compatible support package versions for installed Expo SDK

Hi there! Google Maps is no longer supported in Expo Go for iOS. You can use Apple Maps in Expo Go instead (remove the prop provider={PROVIDER_GOOGLE} from your <MapView /> components) or switch to a development build (recommended). If you have already configured Google Maps for your production releases, no additional configuration will be necessary. Learn how to set up a development build.

A few things to note about Expo Go:

• Expo Go is intended to be a sandbox environment, and we recommend using development builds for any real app. The "Set up your environment" guide will help you get set up with a development build. We also have a full EAS tutorial if you want to learn more, and a concise video course that you can pick and choose lessons from as they are relevant to your use case.
• Development builds give you full control over the native runtime (you can write native code or include any library you like), they are much closer to your production environment, and you can update SDK versions at whichever pace works for you.
• You can still install Expo Go for any SDK version on Android emulators, Android devices, and iOS simulators. We've made the process for doing this as easy as possible on https://expo.dev/go.
