Release 2.9.0

Android

• Build cleanups:
  • Let Google Maps SDK specify the version for com.android.volley: The version used for com.android.volley was sepcified in tbxml-android.gradle manually to 1.2.1. This was needed when using the old Google Maps SDK com.google.android.libraries.maps:maps:3.1.0-beta which pointed to version 1.1.1 and which was no longer available online. Since the latest Google Maps SDK is used, it will point by itself to a more recent version.
  • Copy tbxml-android.aar only once: tbxml-android.aar was copied to two paths: app/src/main/libs and app/src/main/app/src/libs. The second copy was useless and also wrong. Use the first path only.
  • Remove unnecessary repositories from tbxml-android.gradle
    • The default repositories for google and mavenCentral are already defined by cordova-android
    • Removes a gradle warning: Deprecated Gradle features were used in this build, making it incompatible with Gradle 9.0, because url 'https://maven.google.com' would have to be url = 'https://maven.google.com'
  • Remove compileSdkVersion and packagingOptions from tbxml-android.gradle
    • compileSdkVersion is set by cordova-android
    • Removed packagingOptions for excluding README and LICENSE. This should not be done here and it is not sure if this works and will bring a benefit.
  • Don't use flatDir in tbxml-android.gradle: Using flatDir produces the warning Using flatDir should be avoided because it doesn't support any meta-data formats.. Instead android source sets will be used.

iOS

• Upgrade Google Maps SDK from version 9.3.0 to 10.0.0
• Use Metal renderer also for simulator instead of OpenGL
• Remove WebKit redraw hack
  • Removed document.body.style.transform = 'rotateZ(0deg)'; from Map.js from Map.refreshLayout and Map.setDiv, which was used to for force WebKit browsers to perform a repaint/redraw, because in older WebKit browsers (Safari, early Chrome), certain DOM manipulations or CSS changes wouldn't trigger a visual update immediately, causing rendering glitches or elements appearing "stuck" in their old positions.
  • This fix is no longer needed in modern WebKit Browsers and caused issues on Chrome on Android, see #19
