Map keeps crashing my app on Android

[tmatrai]

This component keeps crashing my app all the time on Android. On IOS it is crash-free.

My app uses bottom navigation bar. When navigating by it, going back and forward between tabs, app crashed inexpectedly on a page that contains a Gooogle Maps map on Android by your component. It not consistant, sometimes it crashes, sometimes not, anyway it does it very often.

Did you ever find a solution to this?

@WilliamD47 @tmatrai The plugin now supports renderer selection, so project-level changes are no longer needed to request the new renderer; see https://pub.dev/packages/google_maps_flutter_android#map-renderer for details. (You will need to add a direct dependency on the google_maps_flutter_android implementation package to use that new API).
