Google maps display a gray background when its renderer

I'm trying to implement a simple google maps using swift. The map should be displayed in a UIView.

Well, I follow the next steps: I added a UIView element in my storyboard with the class GMSMapView

And declared in my ViewController with:

@IBOutlet weak var mapView: GMSMapView!

override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

            let camera = GMSCameraPosition.camera(withLatitude: 51.050657, longitude: 10.649514, zoom: 5.5)
            let map = GMSMapView.map(withFrame: CGRect.zero, camera: camera)
            self.mapView = map


        }

And GMSServices.provideAPIKey("xxx-xxx") in my AppDelegate.swift.

Ok, those codes aren't returning any error, but in my screen it's displayed the Google text in colors and a gray background without the map.

What I'm doing wrong?

This issue may also occur if your API Key is not properly configured in AppDelegate.m in IOS and AndroidManifest.XML in Android

AppDelegate.m

GMSServices provideAPIKey:@"XXXXYOUR-API-KEYXXX"]; // check "YOUR_API_KEY" underscore is removed.

This issue occur when the Google Maps SDK is not enable for your API Key . For enabling it , open your developer console at https://console.developers.google.com . On the left handside select library. Select Google Map SDK for iOS under Google Maps Api heading and click enable for enabling the Google Map SDK . That's it , you will now have your same old beautiful maps.
