Places: Failed to load Google Maps script in iOS devices from first attempt

[anastasiia-nikita]

Hi, there. I am using the @googlemaps/js-api-loader (v: 1.16.2) package in a React/Next app. I am noticing that for many users in our app that use iOS devices failed to load places library from first attempt. Do you have some problem with compatibility with iOS?

The way I import the library is:

       const options = {
		id: 'google-map-script',
		apiKey: googleMapsApiKey,
		language: 'en',
		region: 'EN',
		version: 'weekly',
	}

	useEffect(() => {
		new Loader(options).importLibrary('places')
			.then(() => {
				dispatch(setGoogleMapsScriptLoaded(true))
			}).catch(e => {
			console.error('Google map loading failed:', e)
		})
	}, [])

The code looks perfectly fine to me, and there are no known issues with iOS support.

Can you maybe add a few more details what is actually happening so we can investigate?
