Places Swift SDK for iOS sample app

Description

The GooglePlacesDemos folder contains a demo application showcasing various features of the Places Swift SDK for iOS.

Requirements

• Xcode 15.3 or later with the iOS SDK 15.0 or later.
• A Simulator for a device running iOS 15 or later, or an iOS device connected to your computer as a run destination for Xcode.
• An API key from a Google Cloud project with the Places API (New) enabled. See Get an API key after enabling the API.

Setup

1. Set up a Google Cloud project and enable the Places API (New)
2. Get an API key from the project
3. Clone this repository

   git clone git@github.com:googlemaps-samples/ios-places-sdk-samples.git
   

4. Change into the GooglePlacesDemos folder

   cd ios-places-sdk-samples/GooglePlacesDemos
   

5. Open GooglePlacesDemos.xcodeproj to open the project in Xcode.

   open  GooglePlacesDemos.xcodeproj/
   

6. Create a local configuration file for your API key in the same directory (GooglePlacesDemos/GooglePlacesDemos) as the demo application's "Info.plist" file. Name the file "GooglePlacesDemos.xcconfig". This will not be checked into source control since .xcconfig is on the .gitignore list.
7. Add one line to GooglePlacesDemos.xcconfig to set the value of your API key. Substitute the "YOUR_API_KEY" in the snippet below with your API key from Step 2.

   API_KEY = "YOUR_API_KEY"
   

   This should be enough for the demo app to retrieve your key to use for requests. (See https://help.apple.com/xcode/#/dev745c5c974 for more information about xcconfig files.)
8. Run the app. The Swift package for GooglePlacesSwift should automatically

Usage

Sample List

A list of samples is presented at app startup. These samples each demonstrate a specific capability or capabilities of the SDK. The "Samples" directory contains most of the actual sample code. Everything else - with the exception of ParameterConfiguration.swift - is just scaffolding for the sample app to enable easy display of various samples.

ParameterConfiguration.swift

The "Configure" button on the startup page allows setting place properties and autocomplete filter options that allows easy configuration that can apply to multiple samples. These options are set in ParameterConfiguration.swift which can be used as a reference for using PlaceType and AutocompleteFilter.
