It's unbelievable that after 6 years since Airbnb gave up on React Native, react-native-maps (they originally created it) still uses AIR prefix in the class names. It sounds like no one has taken full responsibility for this package since then. Why?

We've never tried to ship it actually. Initially it was made by a group of students at the uni, but we didn't have enough bandwidth to finish and maintain it. Making expo-image, expo-video and expo-audio were much more essential.

Got it. Totally makes sense that Expo has priorities aside maps, still the fact remains - there is no modern well-maintained wrapper over Google/Apple maps for React Native...

You could consider creating a simple one just for your needs. Me and my team created integrated the native HereSDK maps into react native and it wasn’t thaaat hard If I had budget to do the same for google maps in my current project I would totally do it
