Google Maps got stuck installing the most recent update for me. So I press & hold and deleted it. Then weirdly every time I searched it in app store, this app either shows: 1. a cloud icon, which after pressing, prompts a popup "you've already purchased this app, so it will be downloaded at no additional charge", and after pressing it, it disappears without actually starting the download, or; 2. a download in progress icon, which will be greyed out after pressing, and resumes after several seconds, with no actual downloading going on.
Tried rebooting, force rebooting, apple id sign out & back in, switching between my different accounts (one account per country). No luck. Finally I downloaded the updated Google Maps for iPhone on my Mac and install it to iPhone via iTunes. Now Google Maps is installed on my iPhone, yet it can't be opened. If I delete it, everything goes back to the weird situation again. Anyone can help?
