Root Cause
A defect in Pegasystems’ code or rules: pzpega_control_actions_getDirections rule getMapURL function
For iOS 8 and later versions, Google Maps must open for Directions. However, the iOS version is not obtained correctly in the Pega Mobile application to open Google Maps. Hence, it falls back to opening Apple Maps.
