Q: GMSPlaceField results to an invalid instance?

Question

I've noticed that if I add another field of GMSPlaceField to my request like the one demonstrated here: https://developers.google.com/places/ios-sdk/client-migration#fetch_a_place_photo

and say make the fields like so:

let fields: GMSPlaceField = GMSPlaceField(rawValue: UInt(GMSPlaceField.name.rawValue) | UInt(GMSPlaceField.photos.rawValue))!

fields results to an invalid instance of GMSPlaceField:

GMSPlaceField   <invalid>

hence the request fails

Answer 1

It turns out GMSPlaceField is returning the proper fields, Xcode debugger says invalid, but it is valid.
