Google Places API for iOS

NOTE: This pod is the official pod for the Google Places API for iOS. Previously this pod was used by another developer, his content has been moved to Swift Google Maps API on GitHub.

This pod contains the Google Places API for iOS, supporting both Objective C and Swift.

Use the [Google Places API for iOS] (https://developers.google.com/places/ios-sdk/) for exciting features based on the user's location and Google's Places database. You can enable users to add a place, autocomplete place names, use a place picker widget, identify the user's current place or retrieve full details and photos of a place.

The Google Places API for iOS is distributed as a stand alone Pod. This Pod contains all the Google Places API for iOS functionality which does not require a map.
