Compile error for cordova google maps sdk

Question

This is my first mobile app. I am targeting any the latest versions of Android and iOS. I am developing with Cordova CLI (using ionic).

I'm getting following error when compiling with cordova google-maps-sdk plugin

/Users/basit/projects/app-mobile/platforms/ios/app/Plugins/plugin.google.maps/GroundOverlay.m:100:47: error: property 'request' not found on object of type 'UIView *'
        NSString *currentPath = [self.webView.request.URL absoluteString];

As the warning says, "This plugin is not compatible with Cordova-iOS 4.."

I downgraded from 4.* to 3.9.0 and now it compiles just fine!
