they are great but we don’t build expo sdk packages around third party services, the exception here being google maps for android only because it is so popular and as close as you can get to a system api for maps on the platform

oh you'll also need to bump to the latest expo pkg version, `npx expo install --fix`

yep! give expo-maps a try today. we just quietly released a preview of it for sdk 52. run `npx expo install expo-maps` and create a new build then let me know how that works for you. we don't have docs for it yet, so you'll need to use the types to understand how to use it

the downside of supporting google maps on ios in addition to apple maps is that adds significant complexity to the package and greatly increases the maintenance burden

i think it's a very positive sign for react native that so many companies are trusting it for their main apps. you can't scroll through the top apps list without tripping all over react native apps.

a common technique i see, which is somewhat misleading, is that developer tools companies will list a brand as a user/customer and imply that they are using it for their main product, when many cases the tools are actually used in complementary apps, one-off apps, or internal tools
