installing cordova-plugin-googlemaps v2.2.9

Question

I am trying to install cordova-plugin-googlemaps version 2.2.9 for an Ionic project.

My package.json file reads as follows:

...
...
...
"dependencies": {
    .
    .
    "cordova-plugin-googlemaps": "^2.2.9",
    .
    .
    .
}
...
...

However, when I run npm install --verbose, the information logged reads:

npm info lifecycle [email protected]~postinstall: [email protected]

On opening the generated package-lock.json file, it reads:

"cordova-plugin-googlemaps": {
      "version": "2.5.1",
      .
      .
      .
}

As it turns out, a different version of cordova-plugin-googlemaps is installed.

I deleted the node_modules folder and ran npm i again, but the same thing happens again and again.

When I uninstall the plugin and run npm install cordova-plugin-googlemaps@^2.2.9, version 2.5.1 still gets installed.

How can I resolve this? Will copying the source code of v2.2.9 into my node_modules folder be a viable solution?
