GMS reverseGeocodeCoordinate returns statusCode 400 error

Question

This has been function in my application for quite a while and only stopped working recently.

func reverseGeocodeCoordinate(coordinate: CLLocationCoordinate2D, onSuccess : @escaping LocationUpdateSuccess) {
    let geocoder = GMSGeocoder()
    geocoder.reverseGeocodeCoordinate(coordinate) { response, error in
        if let address = response?.firstResult() {
            if let lines = address.lines! as? [String] {
                let title = lines.joined(separator: " ")
                if (title.characters.count) > 3 {
                        print(title)
                        onSuccess(coordinate, title)

                }
            }
        }
        else
        {
            print("Error In Reverse GeoCoding \n \(error?.localizedDescription)")
        }
    }
}

For what it's worth, Here's what I'm sending as the parameter values

CLLocationCoordinate2D
- latitude : 31.51774603759463
- longitude : 74.340778893683378

Here's the exact text of the error when I make the request

The operation couldn’t be completed. (com.google.HTTPStatus error 400.)

Similarly

GMSPlacesClient().autocompleteQuery

wouldn't respond with results as it used to in the following function

func autoCompleteQuery(searchText: String) {

    if searchText.characters.count != 0 {
        self.tableView.alpha = 1

        let countryFilter = GMSAutocompleteFilter()
        countryFilter.country = "US"


        var areaBounds : GMSCoordinateBounds? = nil
        if let lastSavedLocation = MyLocationManager.sharedInstance.lastSavedLocation
        {
            let lat = lastSavedLocation.coordinate.latitude
            let long = lastSavedLocation.coordinate.longitude

            let offset = 200.0 / 1000.0;
            let latMax = lat + offset;
            let latMin = lat - offset;
            let lngOffset = offset * cos(lat * M_PI / 200.0);
            let lngMax = long + lngOffset;
            let lngMin = long - lngOffset;
            let initialLocation = CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: latMax, longitude: lngMax)
            let otherLocation = CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: latMin, longitude: lngMin)
            areaBounds = GMSCoordinateBounds(coordinate: initialLocation, coordinate: otherLocation)
        }

        placesClient.autocompleteQuery(searchText, bounds: areaBounds, filter: countryFilter, callback: { (result, error) -> Void in

            self.nearbyPlacesList.removeAll()
            if result == nil {
                print("Error in autocompleteQuery -> \(error?.localizedDescription)")
                return
            }
            for result in result!{
                if let result = result as? GMSAutocompletePrediction {
                    self.nearbyPlacesList.append((id: result.placeID!, name: result.attributedFullText.string))
                    self.tableView.reloadData()
                }
            }
        })
    } else {
        self.tableView.alpha = 0
    }
}

with the following error message.

The operation couldn’t be completed. An internal error occurred in the Places API library. If you believe this error represents a bug, please file a report using the instructions on our community and support page (https://developers.google.com/places/ios-api/support).

I've looked into answers here, reinstalling the pods and what not.

I also matched the bundle identifier, lifted restrictions on API quotas, disabled and enabled the SDKs again from Google's Cloud console as shown below

but nothing worked. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

For anyone coming to this post sometime later, initialising the GMS Services and Places with right keys was the problem.

 GMSServices.provideAPIKey(<API_KEY_GOES_HERE>)
 GMSPlacesClient.provideAPIKey(<API_KEY_GOES_HERE>)

I was using an old key from a project which was no longer active on Google Cloud Console, hence returning a 400 Error. Hope this helps someone ;)
