I'm trying to detect whether Google Maps app is installed on iOS, and if so, launch it, if not, launch Apple Maps. Here is what I have so far, but on my phone with Google Maps installed, it isn't detecting it and launching appropriately.
Any ideas?
import 'package:url_launcher/url_launcher.dart';
_launchMaps() async {
String googleUrl =
'comgooglemaps://?center=${trip.origLocationObj.lat},${trip.origLocationObj.lon}';
String appleUrl =
'https://maps.apple.com/?sll=${trip.origLocationObj.lat},${trip.origLocationObj.lon}';
if (await canLaunch("comgooglemaps://")) {
print('launching com googleUrl');
await launch(googleUrl);
} else if (await canLaunch(appleUrl)) {
print('launching apple url');
await launch(appleUrl);
} else {
throw 'Could not launch url';
}
}
I pulled the url scheme from here: How would I be able to open google maps when I press a button in my app?
I found my issue: this needs to be in the plist file. The code in the question above is fine. (The SO answer referenced in the question only mentioned the "comgooglemaps" string.)
