I am trying to make an app using kivy garden's mapview and my app actually work on computers, compile and gets deployed but when the app runs, it instantly close and logcat says that the error is

KeyError: 'kivy.garden.mapview'

on lines like

from kivy.garden.mapview import MapView.

It seems to be a quite recent error since I'm not the only one to have this problem but solutions I found seem to be outdated like adding garden_requirements = mapview or kivy_garden.mapview in the requirements in the buildozer.spec file which I tried but doesn't work. The buildozer.spec file doesn't even have a line speaking about garden so I basically didn't modify it except for things like title and importing .txt files. I am running all of this on an Ubuntu virtual machine on which the program works and the exact same machine already made working kivy apps that were not using mapview. Someone asked the same question 5 months ago but doesn't seem to have found an answer yet:

If you need any more information I will gladly provide it to you.

EDIT: The problem seems to be solvable by using the command garden install mapview so I just have to run this command on my phone app's environment somehow.

I solved the problem by using kivy_garden.mapview as a module instead of using garden itself (the command garden install mapview + importing like import kivy.garden.mapview). The problem seems to come from a deprecated version problem.
