Google Maps API for flash not working on real device iPad

[JinWYP]

I use flash builder 4.5.1 to build app for Google Maps API for iOS (map_flex_1_20.swc), and it is working well even on the simulator on PC, but after I generate the IPA use FB4.5.1, and install on iPad , it not working at all, only show a while screen.(I used the TabbedViewNavigatorApplication, the botton Tabbar is working, I can switch the page, but on the maps page show nothing)

I also try the code on Flash CS5.5  using map_1_20.swc , when on the PC debug, it works well,(swf files), but install the AIR ipa on the iPAD, show nothing only a white sceeen.

anyone  met this problem?

I think there is no way to use the Google Maps API for Flash / Flex for iOS, because it tries to load an external swf file form the google server at runtime, and the iOS doesn't allow it. The only workaround I have found so far is create a web page with the Google Maps API for JS, and load it with StageWebView.

Cait Seth is correct.

With AIR 3.0 and native extension, you can use google Maps native component to display maps on your AIR application. Check out http://code.google.com/p/air-maps-ane/ for some basic mapping functionalities.

You can also use the MapQuest Mobile Flash Maps API.  It's supported by MapQuest and does not need any work-arounds in order to work with the Flash Platform.  It also takes advantage of the "build once, deploy anywhere" functionality in Flex 4.5+.  MapQuest provides a demo app for Android and iOS and has the source code available for download, too.
