on IOS, Looking for option to detect current locat

Question

I dont have familiarity with Swift3, however i am getting my app developed from freelancers, but they said, they are not not able to add detect current location in the google place api sdk implementation in my IOS app developing in swift3 to search the address. I am trying to implement my address search page like below

Any pointer in this functionality will be a great help. Please share any example/tutorial of such implementation which I can share with developer to implement.

first install

pod 'GooglePlaces'
pod 'GooglePlacePicker'
pod 'GoogleMaps'

Then follow the below code just for over view

import GoogleMaps
import GooglePlaces

    class SrarchPlacesViewController: UIViewController, UISearchDisplayDelegate,UISearchBarDelegate {

        @IBOutlet weak var searchView: UISearchBar!
        var searchBar: UISearchBar?
        var tableDataSource: GMSAutocompleteTableDataSource?
        var srchDisplayController: UISearchDisplayController?
        var resultsViewController: GMSAutocompleteResultsViewController?
        var searchController: UISearchController?

     override func viewDidLoad() {
            super.viewDidLoad()
            searchView.delegate = self
            searchBar = UISearchBar(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 250.0, height: 44.0))

            tableDataSource = GMSAutocompleteTableDataSource()
            tableDataSource?.delegate = self


            srchDisplayController = UISearchDisplayController(searchBar: searchView, contentsController: self)
            srchDisplayController?.searchResultsDataSource = tableDataSource
            srchDisplayController?.searchResultsDelegate = tableDataSource

            srchDisplayController?.delegate = self


        }
       @objc(didUpdateAutocompletePredictionsForTableDataSource:) func didUpdateAutocompletePredictions(for tableDataSource: GMSAutocompleteTableDataSource) {
        // Turn the network activity indicator off.
        UIApplication.shared.isNetworkActivityIndicatorVisible = false
        // Reload table data.
        srchDisplayController?.searchResultsTableView.reloadData()
    }

    @objc(didRequestAutocompletePredictionsForTableDataSource:) func didRequestAutocompletePredictions(for tableDataSource: GMSAutocompleteTableDataSource) {
        // Turn the network activity indicator on.
        UIApplication.shared.isNetworkActivityIndicatorVisible = true
        // Reload table data.
        srchDisplayController?.searchResultsTableView.reloadData()
    }

    //MARK:- SEARCH BAR FUCNTION

    func searchBarTextDidBeginEditing(_ searchBar: UISearchBar) {
        // self.tableViews.hidden = true
        dPrint("BIGIN")
    }

    }

    func searchBarCancelButtonClicked(_ searchBar: UISearchBar) {
        // self.tableViews.hidden = false
        dPrint("cancel")
    }



    func searchBar(_ searchBar: UISearchBar, textDidChange searchText: String) {

        }

    }

        return true

    }
