iOS 8 Google Maps SDK myLocation icon bubble graphical glitch

I am learning about the Google Maps SDK and getting to know Swift, and when I create a mapview centered on my location using myLocation = true, the location bubble shows up, but it appears with a square mask around it like this

I am not performing any operation on the location indicator, at least not intentionally.

Has anyone ran into this issue before?

Just like zhm said. It is a known problem with Xcode simulator and works fine on the real iOS device. I'm adding screenshots of the difference:

From Simulator

This is a known issue when running the Simulator. It works correctly on a real device. It's marked as WontFix on the issue tracker.
