PlacesAutoComplete not working

[malikirfan]

Hi, I am using TK.CustomMap (version: 2.1.97) package in Xamarin Forms (version: 4.6.0.847) with Xamarin Essentials (version: 1.5.3.2). Everything is working and Map is displaying correctly with following Code Snippet: `public partial class MainPage : ContentPage { ObservableCollection _pins; private bool _fromSignUp = false; private TKCustomMap mapView = null; public MainPage() { InitializeComponent(); }

    protected async override void OnAppearing()
    {
        base.OnAppearing();
        var status = await Permissions.CheckStatusAsync<Permissions.LocationWhenInUse>();
        if(status != PermissionStatus.Granted)
        {
            status = await Permissions.RequestAsync<Permissions.LocationWhenInUse>();
            if(status != PermissionStatus.Granted)
            {
                await DisplayAlert("", "Location is required", "Ok");
                return;
            }
        }

        AddMap();
        MapSpan mapSpanBounds = mapView.MapRegion;

        var searchFrom = new PlacesAutoComplete(false) { ApiToUse = PlacesAutoComplete.PlacesApi.Native, Bounds = mapSpanBounds, Placeholder = "Search Location" };
        //searchFrom.SetBinding(Helpers.PlacesAutoComplete.PlaceSelectedCommandProperty, "PlaceSelectedCommand");
        searchFrom.MinimumHeightRequest = 70;
        searchFrom.PlaceSelectedCommand = new Command<IPlaceResult>(async (p) =>
        {
            IPlaceResult _fromPlace;
            Position _from;
            if (Device.RuntimePlatform == Device.iOS)
            {
                TKNativeiOSPlaceResult placeResult = (TKNativeiOSPlaceResult)p;
                _fromPlace = placeResult;
                _from = placeResult.Details.Coordinate;
            }
            else
            {
                TKNativeAndroidPlaceResult placeResult = (TKNativeAndroidPlaceResult)p;
                _fromPlace = placeResult;
                var details = await TKNativePlacesApi.Instance.GetDetails(placeResult.PlaceId);

                _from = details.Coordinate;
            }

            var pin = new TKCustomMapPin
            {
                Position = _from,
                Title = _fromPlace.Description,
                ShowCallout = true,
                IsDraggable = true
            };
            _pins.Clear();
            _pins.Add(pin);
            mapView.MoveToMapRegion(MapSpan.FromCenterAndRadius(_from, Distance.FromKilometers(2)), true);
        });
        Grid.SetColumnSpan(searchFrom, 2);
        Grid.SetRow(searchFrom, 0);
        grd.Children.Add(searchFrom);
    }
    private void AddMap(MapSpan bounds = null)
    {
        if (bounds != null)
            mapView = new TKCustomMap(bounds);
        else
            mapView = new TKCustomMap();

        mapView.SetBinding(TKCustomMap.PinsProperty, "Pins");
        mapView.SetBinding(TKCustomMap.MapLongPressCommandProperty, "MapLongPressCommand");

        mapView.IsRegionChangeAnimated = true;
        mapView.IsShowingUser = true;
        //mapView.HeightRequest = App.ScreenHeight - 280;

        mapView.Pins = _pins;
        mapView.MapLongPressCommand = new Command<Position>(position =>
        {
            var pin = new TKCustomMapPin
            {
                Position = position,
                Title = "Your location",
                ShowCallout = true,
                IsDraggable = true
            };
            _pins.Clear();
            _pins.Add(pin);
        });
        Grid.SetColumnSpan(mapView, 2);
        Grid.SetRow(mapView, 1);
        grd.Children.Add(mapView);
    }
}`

However search places is not working whatever I type in AutoComplete entry. I have also created Google Places API with Billing Account and also enabled "Maps SDK for Android" and "Places API" libraries. <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.geo.API_KEY" android:value="AIzaXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" />

But autocomplete list always come empty. If I try to use same Key with this Web Call then it works and get data correctly. https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/findplacefromtext/json?input=Museum%20of%20Contemporary%20Art%20Australia&inputtype=textquery&fields=photos,formatted_address,name,rating,opening_hours,geometry&key=AIzaXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Can anyone please help me on it?
