I made a PR on google_maps_flutter. However, google_maps_flutter depends on google_maps_flutter_platform_interface and my PR needed to modify both plugins.

So I changed pubspec.yaml as follow in google_maps_flutter

dependencies:
  flutter:
    sdk: flutter
  flutter_plugin_android_lifecycle: ^1.0.0
  google_maps_flutter_platform_interface: # I changed this from ^1.0.4
    path: ../google_maps_flutter_platform_interface

Then I did the Pull Request but on of the checks says:

* Don't depend on "google_maps_flutter_platform_interface" from the path source. Use the hosted source instead. For example:

I don't understand. How am I supposed to use the hosted plugin although I am modifying it
