[IOS][Google Map] showDirections is not showing the route screen

[HasanAlqaisi]

Hello,
When using showDirections with waypoints:

      await MapLauncher.showDirections(
        mapType: map,
        destination: Coords(
          coords.latitude,
          coords.longitude,
        ),
        waypoints: waypoints
                ?.mapIndexed(
                  (index, item) => Waypoint(
                    item.latitude,
                    item.longitude,
                    'Location ${index + 1}',
                  ),
                )
                .toList() ??
            [],
      );

The route is not showing directly on IOS, instead this screen will be showing:

However, on Android it will show the directions screen directly:

I am not sure why it behaves different on IOS.

it's just how it works on google maps for ios. nothing I can do about it.

let me know if you think there's a way to show something else, otherwise I'm closing this for now

I've found a way by using a different url. But I am not sure if it fits all the cases.
Here's a fork if you would like to check.
I couldn't find comprehensive information on this topic in the Google Maps documentation, so I found it through a search at that time.

hmm interesting. so this one works as expected you say? I would prefer not to use undocumented apis as that could just stop working at any point without notice but def something to investigate. will reopen for now

Yeah I've used it in a project and it was showing the map the same as Android.
But I haven't tested it enough, also maybe it is documented somewhere because I came across this method through multiple Stack Overflow questions.
