I am testing the Google Places API on an iOS 7 app.
When I send a request to the API I get a json result with the following error message:
This IP, sit
Have you tried using the browser client key inside the iOS app? From what I remember, the places API doesn't support iOS keys.

And from the google api console docs: https://developers.google.com/console/help/#generatingdevkeys
