How to get user's location in iOS using google plus sdk?

Question

I am integrating Google Plus login in my app along with Facebook and Twitter login. So, is it possible to get user's location(city) Like Facebook and Twitter? If yes, how?

Any kind of help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

There is a field in the Google+ profile for "places lived" that may contain a location. However, it is not very common for people to share that publicly, so you will likely find only a small proportion of users have it available.

If you want to try, you can retrieve the profile data by following this documentation: https://developers.google.com/+/mobile/ios/people#retrieve_profile_information - this returns GTLPlusPerson for the current user.

From that, look at the placesLived property: https://code.google.com/p/google-api-objectivec-client/source/browse/trunk/Source/Services/Plus/Generated/GTLPlusPerson.h?r=246#128
