When trying to add a Google Maps API key in Ionic 5, why am I receiving a TypeError message stating that the 'HTMLElement' construction has failed and to use the 'new' operator?

This error can occur if you are trying to directly assign a value to an HTML element property instead of using the 'new' operator to create the element first. To resolve this error, you should ensure that you are creating any necessary HTML elements using the 'new' operator before attempting to assign values to their properties. Alternatively, you can use ionic-native/google-maps to add a Google Maps component without the need for an API key.
