Using Callback for url schemes on Google Maps for iOS

I'm trying to use the callback functionality of the URL schemes for Google Maps on iOS.

The way how to do that is documented here.

However, I did not manage to get this to work. There is no additional symbol showing up as described in the documentation.

Is this actually still possible or has this feature been removed?

Independent of my application, I also tested this by pasting the URL scheme in the Safari browser, but it doesn't work there either.

It simply starts the Google Maps app but apparently ignores the callback parameters.

Edit: This is the URL from the example of the documentation:

comgooglemaps-x-callback://?center=40.765819,-73.975866&zoom=14
   &x-success=sourceapp://?resume=true
   &x-source=SourceApp

The only difference would be that the success parameter gets the URL of the app you want to open when the user clicks on the callback button.

Check if your application's url scheme has been implemented correctly and that you're specifying a valid callback url (that directs back to your app).

Some links that might be useful:
