Can't get my location point for Google Maps iOS SDK

I am currently unable to get my location in an application I am developing.

Basically, in the documentation for the Google Maps iOS SDK, Google mentions that you can:

enable the blue point "My location" and compass direction by setting myLocationEnabled in GMSMapView https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/ios/map#my_location

However, when I do this, the dot does not appear in my view.

Here's my setup, I have a view controller that contains a view. This view contains three things, two buttons and a map view:

I have linked my mapView to the GMSMapView and I can see the map with no problem.

Now what I want should be located.

I've tried two things. First, using a custom draft button (i for info), I tried to manually set the location in the mapView, but it didn't work, although the locationServicesEnabled method returned YES.

Then I tried using googlemaps hotspot but that doesn't work either.

Here's my code:

StudyDisplayViewController.h

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import <CoreLocation/CoreLocation.h>
#import "GoogleMaps/GoogleMaps.h"


@interface StudyDisplayViewController : UIViewController <CLLocationManagerDelegate> {

}

@property (strong, readwrite) CLLocationManager *locationManager;
@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet GMSMapView *mapView;

@end

      

        
        
        
      

    

StudyDisplayViewController.m

#import "StudyDisplayViewController.h"

@interface StudyDisplayViewController ()
- (IBAction)closeStudyDisplay:(id)sender;
- (IBAction)locateMe:(id)sender;

@end

@implementation StudyDisplayViewController

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
    // Do any additional setup after loading the view.
    self.locationManager = [[CLLocationManager alloc] init];
    self.locationManager.delegate = self;
    self.locationManager.distanceFilter = kCLDistanceFilterNone;
    self.locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest;

    if([CLLocationManager authorizationStatus] == kCLAuthorizationStatusNotDetermined) {
        NSLog(@"Starting the location service");
        [self.locationManager requestWhenInUseAuthorization];
        [self.locationManager startMonitoringSignificantLocationChanges];
        if([CLLocationManager locationServicesEnabled]) {
            NSLog(@"all good");
        }
        else {
            NSLog(@"Damn son");
        }
    }

    self.mapView.settings.compassButton = YES;       

    self.mapView.myLocationEnabled = YES;    
}

- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning {
    [super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
    // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}

- (void) locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didChangeAuthorizationStatus:(CLAuthorizationStatus)status {

}

-(void) locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didUpdateLocations:(NSArray *)locations {
    NSLog(@"Getting Location");
}


/*

// In a storyboard-based application, you will often want to do a little preparation before navigation
- (void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender {
    // Get the new view controller using [segue destinationViewController].
    // Pass the selected object to the new view controller.
}
*/

- (IBAction)closeStudyDisplay:(id)sender {
    [self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
}

- (IBAction)locateMe:(id)sender {

    NSLog(@"User location: %@", self.mapView.myLocation);

}

      

        
        
        
      

    

I am using Xcode 6.3.2 and iOS 8.3.
