Answer 1

• first add the following to your info.plist

  1. NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription
  2. LSApplicationQueriesSchemes (of type array and add two items to this array item 0 : googlechromes , item 1 : comgooglemaps

• second go to https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/ios-sdk/start and follow the steps till step 5

• last thing to do after you set up every thing is to go to your ViewController and paste the following

  import UIKit
  import GoogleMaps
  
  class ViewController: UIViewController,CLLocationManagerDelegate {
  
      //Outlets
      @IBOutlet var MapView: GMSMapView!
  
      //Variables
      var locationManager = CLLocationManager()
  
      override func viewDidLoad() {
          super.viewDidLoad()
  
          initializeTheLocationManager()
          self.MapView.isMyLocationEnabled = true
      }
  
      func initializeTheLocationManager() {
          locationManager.delegate = self
          locationManager.requestWhenInUseAuthorization()
          locationManager.startUpdatingLocation()
      }
  
      func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didUpdateLocations locations: [CLLocation]) {
  
          var location = locationManager.location?.coordinate
  
          cameraMoveToLocation(toLocation: location)
  
      }
  
      func cameraMoveToLocation(toLocation: CLLocationCoordinate2D?) {
          if toLocation != nil {
              MapView.camera = GMSCameraPosition.camera(withTarget: toLocation!, zoom: 15)
          }
      }
  
  }
  

( don't forget to add a view in the storyboard and connect it to the MapViw)

now you can build and run to see your current location on the google map just like when you open the Google Map App

enjoy coding :)
