myLocationEnabled changing to isMyLocationEnabled on swift when using GoogleMaps - ios

Question

Im trying to get a users current location to show with google maps API. I have been struggling with this issue for weeks and the code runs but doesn't update to current location when I change the location in the simulator.
My code is below and after looking how other people are doing it they all have mapView.myLocationEnabled = true whereas for me this produces an error saying 'myLocationEnabled has been renamed to 'isMylocationEnabled'. I've seen some up to date posts (from 2 months ago) and everyone is using myLocationEnabled without an error it seems, why am I getting this? could this be the reason why my current location is not updating?
import UIKit
import GoogleMaps
class FirstViewController: UIViewController, CLLocationManagerDelegate {
#IBOutlet weak var mapView: GMSMapView!
let locationManager = CLLocationManager()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
locationManager.delegate = self
mapView.settings.myLocationButton = true
mapView.settings.compassButton = true
}
override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
locationManager.requestWhenInUseAuthorization()
}
func locationManager(manager: CLLocationManager , didChangeAuthorizationStatus status: CLAuthorizationStatus) {
if status == .authorizedWhenInUse {
locationManager.startUpdatingLocation()
mapView.isMyLocationEnabled = true
mapView.settings.myLocationButton = true
}
}
func locationManager(manager: CLLocationManager ,didUpdateLocations locations: [CLLocation]) {
if let location = locations.first {
mapView.camera = GMSCameraPosition(target: location.coordinate, zoom: 15, bearing: 0, viewingAngle: 0)
let marker = GMSMarker()
marker.title = "Current Location"
marker.map = mapView
locationManager.stopUpdatingLocation()
}
}
}

SO I FINALLY SOLVED THIS! Basically I updated my existing Podfile with GoogleMaps and GooglePlaces and then updated pod to ensure all the frameworks are working. Then I used this code to get my current location to work
import UIKit
import GoogleMaps
class FirstViewController: UIViewController, CLLocationManagerDelegate {
#IBOutlet weak var mapView: GMSMapView!
var locationManager = CLLocationManager()
var vwGMap = GMSMapView()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
let camera: GMSCameraPosition = GMSCameraPosition.camera(withLatitude: 22.300000, longitude: 70.783300, zoom: 10.0)
vwGMap = GMSMapView.map(withFrame: self.view.frame, camera: camera)
vwGMap.camera = camera
locationManager.delegate = self
locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyKilometer
locationManager.distanceFilter = 500
locationManager.requestWhenInUseAuthorization()
locationManager.requestAlwaysAuthorization()
locationManager.startUpdatingLocation()
self.view = vwGMap
}
func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didChangeAuthorization status: CLAuthorizationStatus) {
if (status == CLAuthorizationStatus.authorizedWhenInUse)
{
vwGMap.isMyLocationEnabled = true
}
}
func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didUpdateLocations locations: [CLLocation]) {
let newLocation = locations.last
vwGMap.camera = GMSCameraPosition.camera(withTarget: newLocation!.coordinate, zoom: 15.0)
vwGMap.settings.myLocationButton = true
self.view = self.vwGMap
let marker = GMSMarker()
marker.position = CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(newLocation!.coordinate.latitude, newLocation!.coordinate.longitude)
marker.map = self.vwGMap
}
}
