GoogleMaps don't compile at Macbook with M1 chip

ld: building for iOS Simulator, but linking in object file built for iOS, file '[...]/Pods/GooglePlaces/Frameworks/GooglePlaces.framework/GooglePlaces' for architecture arm64

In my case I'm using Cocoapods to integrate Google maps and I get the same error on M1 chip. This issue only happens with iOs 14 Simulators, working fine with iOs 13.

I subscribe to the above. My project doesn't compile on the M1 Macs because GoogleMaps is the only dependency left that hasn't adopted the new xcframework with support for arm64 for simulator.
When can we expect a working GoogleMaps release for the M1 Macs ?

The Maps SDK for iOS does not yet contain the architecture necessary to run on the new Arm-based Mac Simulators—we are currently working on supporting this. For now, if you are using the new Arm-based Macs, you will need to develop using a physical device. This has been noted in our FAQ.

Any update on this?

Im having this issue as well. Any update on this? Seems to be the only blocker for getting our app running on silicon

Adding another vote to advocate for a fix to this issue. We are currently blocked from developing on M1 chipsets due to this issue.

Hey everyone, unfortunately I can't share any timelines on when this issue will be addressed since there are a lot of moving parts to supporting an .xcframework that contains the new arm simulator architecture. This is a very high priority for us though. The only workaround at the moment is to develop on a physical device if you are using one of the new Macbooks.

[pj4533]

I appreciate that, but even if you just had an alpha branch that would compile (and just wasn't a full release), that would at least get our CI MacMini machine unblocked.

Thanks @arriolac for the transparency. Please keep us updated as you get a sense of timelines

Would supporting SPM solve the problem?

We have had lots of issues with pods on Apple silicon.
