Location not showing up

[thuanphung]

The api key is correct but location suggestions aren't showing up

Did you implement onNetworkingError? You can debug the error coming from GooglePlaces using that

having the same problem here, so I used my api key in the example project and it worked, but in my project i get back a 403 forbidden error.

Google normally returns a very descriptive error message. Try debugging the code to see the message.

i enabled places api and i used it on the example project, but i get this error response on my project.

Try enabling Places SDK for iOS instead of or in addition to Places API.

[fefereliezer]

thanks for replying, but i enabled Maps SDK for IOS and i still get the same error.
I don't think the problem is with enabling or something like that, because my api key works perfectly fine on the example of GooglePlacesRow.
It might be some kind of setting in my project that i'm not aware that it needs to be changed etc.

[mats-claassen]

Well, the only GooglePlaces setup that is done in the Example project is in the AppDelegate, which is:

        GMSPlacesClient.provideAPIKey(apiKey)
        
        print(GMSPlacesClient.openSourceLicenseInfo())

For the license, the docs say it "Returns the open source software license information for the Google Places API for iOS. This information must be made available within your application.". I don't think it is related to your problem.

The only case I can think of why an API Key could work for the Example project, but not your own is that you restricted the key, in the Google console, to the bundle id of the example project.

I am also getting this error. My api key works fine on the example project, but not in my app. The key has no restriction.

This is the error from Google:
Error Domain=com.google.places.ErrorDomain Code=-3 "An internal error occurred in the Places API library.

Later Edit: I have found the issue. It was related to CocoaPods.
CocoaPods/CocoaPods#7155
