Implementing a functionality on a map view in which I can search for locations i.e. mapview with a search bar on top.

So apparantely, to implement search functions, you need Google Search API - specifically for location/place search, you need a google adsense account and then a clientID.

So currently in my app, you can search for a location based on its address, for example "123 Express Street" , but when you search for a location based on its name "Mcdonalds", there is an error.

I have a google adsense account, and I used that to apply for a clientID - which apparantely I need to search for locations based on its name.

Not really sure what next steps I have to take to obtain the clientID. Is google supposed to email me?

Anyone else have a similar problem? How can I obtain this clientID or implement same functionality in a different way?
