Support for New Places API in @react-google-maps/api

[devansh-wrteam]

The @react-google-maps/api library no longer works with the new Places API (New) from Google Cloud. When using the Places search feature, it throws the following error:

2117-fc741434ebc9c7dd.js:1 This API project is not authorized to use this API. Places API error: ApiNotActivatedMapError

Previously, the old Places API worked fine, but since Google has removed it, the new API is not compatible with @react-google-maps/api. Please provide support for the new Places API (New).

Running into the same issue, API key is tested working on server side

@AbdurrehmanSubhani sir, I’ve found a temporary solution. You can enable the old Places API by visiting this link and clicking "Enable Places API Legacy": https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/place-autocomplete-new

Having the same issue. Can't use the new places API. It's not that I want to but Google just doesn't show the Legacy one anymore in the console, so you can't enable it or use it.
