I have included a map feature into my app and have followed the steps on a bunch of YouTube videos to code it. However, when I go to live test the map, I get a message saying “Please view the Map component on the physical device.” I have tried testing the map on my laptop, iPad and iPhone and they all say the same message. Am I doing something wrong?

Are you using the Thunkable Live app to test?

I was using the website and pressing where it says “live test”. Should I be downloading the app?
