Fix for Google AutoComplete Places Javascript API on iOS

gp-autocomplete.js

var autoElm = document.getElementById('elm-name');
autocomplete = new google.maps.places.Autocomplete(autoElm);
google.maps.event.addListener(autocomplete, 'place_changed', function () {
    var place = autocomplete.getPlace();
    if (!place.geometry) {
        return;
    }

    instance.setCenter(place.geometry.location);
    instance.setZoom(19);
    autoElm.value = '';

});


// need to stop prop of the touchend event
if (navigator.userAgent.match(/(iPad|iPhone|iPod)/g)) {
    setTimeout(function() {
        var container = document.getElementsByClassName('pac-container')[0];
        container.addEventListener('touchend', function(e) {
            e.stopImmediatePropagation();
        });
    }, 500);
}

@schoenobates Thank You for your solution.
Using this solution I had one issue that as it is stoping the action, it is changing the text and closing the list after tapping, it only changes the value only when tapped outside. So I added few code to do that. Please find it below.

                           setTimeout(function() {
			        var container = document.getElementsByClassName('pac-container')[0];
			        console.log(container);
			        container.addEventListener('touchstart', function(e) {
			            e.stopImmediatePropagation();
			            setTimeout(function(){alert('j');document.activeElement.blur();},300);
			            
			        });
			    }, 500);

Awesome - thanks @souvickcse

It s not working for me!!! Which is the correct solution? Thanks

It is not working for me.

const id = document.getElementById(_self.id);
_self.autocomplete = new google.maps.places.Autocomplete(document.getElementById(_self.id), {
types: [_self.type]
});
_self.autocomplete.addListener('place_changed', _self.fillInAddress);
setTimeout(function () {
const container = document.getElementsByClassName('pac-container')[0];
console.log(container);
container.addEventListener('touchstart', function (e) {
e.stopImmediatePropagation();
setTimeout(function () {
document.activeElement.blur();
}, 300);
});
}, 500);

Hello MarinoRaul,
Did you solve your issue and if so, what did you do ?

worked for me ty. (just make sure to have it on the right page that has this element

Hi, I am having the same issue. Tried the solutions above.
Does anybody has a different solution?

The original code worked for me:

// need to stop prop of the touchend event
if (navigator.userAgent.match(/(iPad|iPhone|iPod)/g)) {
    setTimeout(function() {
        var container = document.getElementsByClassName('pac-container')[0];
        container.addEventListener('touchend', function(e) {
            e.stopImmediatePropagation();
        });
    }, 500);
}

Thanks @schoenobates !

var to_places = new google.maps.places.Autocomplete(document.getElementById('to_places'));

        google.maps.event.addListener(from_places, 'place_changed', function () {
