Description
## Environment
- Android OS version: 14, 15
- Devices affected: Pixel 7, Samsung S24, Samsung S21....
- Maps SDK Version: 11.8.0
## Observed behavior and steps to reproduce
This is a strange one, because building locally to phone + build APK lokally everything seems fine. But when released through the playstore the issue appears. However if I then use satellite map, theres no flickering.
1. Open up AA with STANDARD style map with widgets and observe they are flickering
## Expected behavior
Widgets in AA should not flicker
## Notes / preliminary analysis
We tried to downgrade to version 11.6.0 and then there is no issue

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue on Android Auto with the standard map style, widgets, and Maps SDK 11.8.0 using a Play Store release build on the affected devices. Compare the behavior with satellite style and SDK 11.6.0, then identify the release-only rendering difference; done means standard-style widgets no longer flicker.
