As the [Google Maps documentation](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/urls/ios-urlscheme) explains, the calling app got 2 choices:
- an app can call Google maps via[ universal links](https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/General/Conceptual/AppSearch/UniversalLinks.html), using 'standard' google maps URL. So if you try to open an URL of "https://www.google.com/maps/@42.585444,13.007813,6z", if Google Maps is installed, it should catch that URL and open it in the app. By the definition of how universal links work (checked against an actual file on the webserver), these cannot be 'hijacked'. This is probably the way Whatsapp calls Google Maps.
- other option are the 'old' [URL schemes](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/allowing_apps_and_websites_to_link_to_your_content/defining_a_custom_url_scheme_for_your_app) of comgooglemaps://, comgooglemaps-x-callback:// and comgooglemapsurl://. These are not checked against any server side component, thus any app can declare these. That is why Apple recommends to use Universal links (literally the first bullet point of benefits is: "Unique. Unlike custom URL schemes, universal links can’t be claimed by other apps, because they use standard HTTP or HTTPS links to your website.").

Umm... But @faugusztin, I was just going through some random checks that if any other app is also facing the same problem. I checked whatsapp for this, But there it was working fine there. Have you any idea how they would be differentiating ?? How its working fine there?

Unfortunately any application can declare any deep link prefix on iOS. For example this year i found a random app declaring cydia:// deep link prefix for their app. There is nothing an application initiating the deep link can do.

I'm closing this issue since we won't add any exceptions or special handling for some sort of apps and Frantisek (thx!) explained why the issue is happening - nothing Apache Cordova can prevent.
