Directions on Android: Package visibility query required to open Maps app; nothing happens otherwise

Howdy, I just ran into this issue at my day job, where I'm maintaining a Nativescript app that hasn't been touched in a few years. I'm new to Android and I don't fully understand it under the hood, but it seems that I was able to figure it out, but didn't see it documented anywhere in the READMEs. I don't quite have time to create a pull request at the moment and it's not obvious how I should contribute to this, but I wanted to at least create an issue and I might be able to submit something myself later.

As described in this documentation, apps that target Android 11 or newer need to add a <queries> element to their manifests in order to open the Google Maps app. Before I added it, our "directions" button would silently fail. Mine looks like this:

    <queries>
        <package android:name="com.google.android.apps.maps" />
    </queries>

From the source at index.android.ts, it doesn't seem like the app is trying to do open the maps app directly (it just uses a URL), but I imagine something is changing that internally.

Cheers, I appreciate the hard work y'all have put into this ecosystem

Bắt đầu với packages/directions/index.android.ts và các tệp README của plugin, sau đó đối chiếu hành vi được báo cáo với tài liệu về khả năng hiển thị gói của Android. Ghi lại mục bắt buộc cho Google Maps và giải thích rằng mục này cần thiết để thao tác directions hoạt động trên Android 11 hoặc mới hơn; được xem là hoàn tất khi README nêu rõ các hướng dẫn thiết lập này.
