  Declaration

  Swift

  func tableDataSource(_ tableDataSource: GMSAutocompleteTableDataSource, didAutocompleteWith place: GMSPlace)

  Objective-C

  - (void)tableDataSource:
              (nonnull GMSAutocompleteTableDataSource *)tableDataSource
      didAutocompleteWithPlace:(nonnull GMSPlace *)place;

  Parameters

  Deprecated

  Use the placeAutocomplete View extension in Places Swift SDK (https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/places/ios-sdk/google-places-swift) instead.

  Called when a non-retryable error occurred when retrieving autocomplete predictions or place details. A non-retryable error is defined as one that is unlikely to be fixed by immediately retrying the operation.

  Only the following values of GMSPlacesErrorCode are retryable:

  • kGMSPlacesNetworkError
  • kGMSPlacesServerError
  • kGMSPlacesInternalError

  All other error codes are non-retryable.

  Declaration

  Swift

  func tableDataSource(_ tableDataSource: GMSAutocompleteTableDataSource, didFailAutocompleteWithError error: any Error)
