Unable to access Google Map in Swift AppDelegate file

I am learning Swift and struggling to figure out how to integrate the framework of the Google Map SDK. I created a new project in Xcode 6, imported the frameworks required by the Google Map SDK for iOS.

However, when I import the Google Maps structure using (import) into the AppDelegate.swift file, the environment is not recognized.

Unable to find a solution anywhere. Please, help.

After you imported the Google Maps iOS SDK, you need to define the title of the bridge, then the SDK will be recognized.

To create this bridge header, add a custom Objective-C file to the project (for example: a .m ). Xcode will ask you if you need to configure the bridge header.

Click Yes to continue.

A file ending in -Bridging-Header.h will be added to your project.

Just add #import <GoogleMaps/GoogleMaps.h> to the bridge title and you're good to go!

In addition, you can now delete this temporary Objective-C file.

Now you can install the SDK through CocoaPods, and you will not need to add a bridge header. Check out this tutorial ( Google Maps iOS SDK Link ) and just add the following code to your AppDelegate didFinichLaunchingWithOptions function.

 GMSServices.provideAPIKey("API_KEY")

Add a temporary Objective-C file to your project. You can give him any name you like.

Select Yes to customize the Objective-C bridge title.

Delete the temporary Objective-C file you just created.

In the projectName-Bridging-Header.h file you just created, add this line:

'# import <GoogleMaps / GoogleMaps.h>'

Edit the AppDelegate.swift file:

 func application(application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [NSObject: AnyObject]?) -> Bool { GMSServices.provideAPIKey("AIza....") //iOS API key return true }

Follow the link for a complete sample.
