I want to include Google Maps in an ionic capacitor angular project so I followed their documentation to do so. But when I build I get the following error:

Error: node_modules/@capacitor/google-maps/dist/typings/definitions.d.ts:1:23 - error TS2688: Cannot find type definition file for 'google.maps'.
[ng] 1 /// <reference types="google.maps" />

I searched everywhere, checked the documentation, even followed the answers in this stack overflow question none which seemed to help:

UPDATE:

You could try:

1. Delete package-lock.json
2. delete node_modules Folder
3. Run npm install

or when you have dependencie Problems that you want to fix later

npm install -f

Turns out that this is a bug in their new version 4.3.0, downgrading the package to 4.2.1 fixed the issue: npm i @capacitor/[email protected]
