any solution for this bug?

Nope

   I fixed issue using implementation 'com.google.maps.android:android-maps-utils:2.3.0'

implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:18.0.2'

The ' implementation 'com.google.maps.android:android-maps-utils:2.3.0' ' method works but it takes a century to build

Same issue. Uninstalling the app completely and reinstalling it clears the issue, but that's obviously not a practical strategy for production. Similar problem mentioned here, I see: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/71494064/java-lang-nullpointerexception-attempt-to-invoke-virtual-method-int-android-gr

1.  add map?.clear() in onPause and add marker in onResume too.
2. Log LatLng in onMapReady to check null

i got the same error can some one help me with it

I have found that emptying the cache of the app in system settings also temporarily clears the problem.

This one is happening on our production and stage apps as well.
I have tried to catch it but it's not something we can do, since it is happening randomly after some time.
Fresh install works fine.
I have tried with   a comment above :
"1.add map?.clear() in onPause and add marker in onResume too.
2. Log LatLng in onMapReady to check null"
But no luck with it.

I have custom marker icons set as bitmaps, but i removed that code and i'm still getting the error.

replacing library with this one fixes the problem
implementation 'com.google.maps.android:android-maps-utils:2.3.0'

Please investigate what is wrong with the play services library ...

I have similar problem after I used the "apply changes and restart activity" in Android Studio. My solution only, I just uninstall the app and then install again. It's work.

Consegui ajustando o XML com tag map:cameraZoom="10"

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/item_maps_in_out_dead"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content">

    <fragment
        xmlns:map="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
        android:id="@+id/layout_check_in_out_point"
        android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="@dimen/dp_250"
        android:layout_margin="@dimen/dp_3"
        map:cameraZoom="10" />

</LinearLayout>

I can also confirm, that this problem appears when I use "Apply code changes" from Android Studio.
The proposed solution with changing map:cameraZoom to "10" works only until next application of changes, in fact any change of this attribute in layout file works and has a similar effect as the clearing of application cache data. So it might have something to do with some "zoom-level based" caching?

If i change anything in the layout either tha map attributes or even i changed the size of Text ( for e.g ) and do (apply code changes/application run , full restart) it crashes

Clearing  app cash solves this issue for me

changing <fragment> to <androidx.fragment.app.FragmentContainerView> worked for me

changing <fragment> to <androidx.fragment.app.FragmentContainerView> worked for me too

ya it worked

What's the final conclusion? Any reliable production fix in the core application of Google?

Finally, any Fix about it?
