Google maps polyline not rendering perfectly - ios

Question

I am drawing polyline using latest google maps API for iOS. I am constructing polyline point by point but it is not rendering properly as when i zoom out the polyline vanishes(not in literal terms) from the map and when i zoom in it simply shows the line.
This is how polyline appears when zoomed in
This is how it appears when zoomed out
here is my function for drawing polyline
RCPolyline *polyline = [[RCPolyline alloc] init];
[polyline drawPolylineFromPoint:self.selectedEmployee.location toPoint:location];
i have override init: for RCPolyline to be something like this
- (instancetype)init {
self = [super init];
if (self) {
self.strokeWidth = 5.0f;
self.strokeColor = UIColor.redColor;
self.geodesic = YES;
self.map = [RCMapView sharedMapView];
}
return self;}
and drawPolylineFromPoint:toPoint: does this
- (void)drawPolylineFromPoint:(CLLocation *)pointX toPoint:(CLLocation *)pointY {
GMSMutablePath *path = [GMSMutablePath path];
[path addCoordinate:pointX.coordinate];
[path addCoordinate:pointY.coordinate];
self.path = path;}

I found the glitch, i was making local instance of RCPolyline class and was calling the method for constructing polyline from that what i wanted was to have a global object for RCPolyline instance and update the GMSPath for the RCPolyline class instance
something like this:
- (instancetype)initWithMap:(GMSMapView *)mapView {
self = [super init];
if (self) {
self.strokeWidth = 4.0f;
self.strokeColor = [UIColor redColor];
self.geodesic = YES;
self.map = mapView;
self.mutablePath = [GMSMutablePath path];
}
return self;}
and now i am calling this method from that same instance.
- (void)appendPolylineWithCoordinate:(CLLocation *)location {
[self.mutablePath addCoordinate:location.coordinate];
self.path = self.mutablePath;}
PS: RCPolyline is subclass of GMSPolyline

Try this code.
- (void)fetchPolylineWithOrigin:(CLLocation *)origin destination:(CLLocation *)destination {
GMSCameraPosition *camera = [GMSCameraPosition cameraWithLatitude:lat longitude:longg zoom:12];
GMSMapView *mapView = [GMSMapView mapWithFrame:CGRectZero camera:camera];
mapView.myLocationEnabled = YES;
self.view = mapView;
GMSMarker *marker = [[GMSMarker alloc] init];
marker.position = CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(-33.86, 151.20);
marker.map = mapView;
NSString *originString = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%f,%f", origin.coordinate.latitude, origin.coordinate.longitude];
NSString *destinationString = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%f,%f", destination.coordinate.latitude, destination.coordinate.longitude];
NSString *directionsAPI = #"https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/directions/json?";
NSString *directionsUrlString = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#&origin=%#&destination=%#&mode=driving&key=%#&alternatives=true", directionsAPI, originString, destinationString,#"YOUR API KEY"];
NSURL *directionsUrl = [NSURL URLWithString:directionsUrlString];
NSURLSessionDataTask *fetchDirectionsTask = [[NSURLSession sharedSession] dataTaskWithURL:directionsUrl completionHandler:
^(NSData *data, NSURLResponse *response, NSError *error)
{
NSDictionary *json = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:data options:kNilOptions error:&error];
if(error)
{
return;
}
NSArray *routesArray = [json objectForKey:#"routes"];
GMSPolyline *polyline = nil;
int i=1;
for (id route in routesArray)
{
NSDictionary *routeDict = [route valueForKey:#"overview_polyline"];
NSString *points = [routeDict objectForKey:#"points"];
GMSCoordinateBounds *bounds = [[GMSCoordinateBounds alloc] init];
GMSPath *path = [GMSPath pathFromEncodedPath:points];
polyline = [GMSPolyline polylineWithPath:path];
polyline.strokeWidth = 3;
if(i==1)
{
polyline.strokeColor = [UIColor greenColor];
}else if(i==2)
{
polyline.strokeColor = [UIColor redColor];
}else{
polyline.strokeColor = [UIColor blueColor];
}
i = i+1;
bounds = [bounds includingCoordinate:marker.position];
polyline.map=mapView;
}
}];
[fetchDirectionsTask resume];
}
