This problem has been bothering me for a while and I can't figure out how to fix it. I've set the bundle identifier for the API key allowed iOS apps exactly as it in Xcode. I've tried changing my bundle ID and still nothing. If I add the demo app's bundle ID and test the demo app, it works just fine, but for some reason in my app, it fails no matter what I try to do. I've made sure to log the bundle ID using [[NSBundle mainBundle] bundleIdentifier]; and copying and pasting the id into the console and then copying and pasting the API key into the [GMSServices provideAPIKey:@"APIKEYHERE"]; method. Still nothing works. I've looked all over stack overflow and the internet but I could find nothing that helps. I've followed the step by step instructions as per this article but still nothing helps. When I run my app all I get is a blank screen with this console log message:

Please note that I am getting error code 101 not 100. 100 is what I've seen on other similar questions.
Also I'd like to note my API is 39 characters not 40 as it says in the documentation.
It seems it misses a category.. make sure you have -ObjC linker flag set for your app
