About the security of the browser key

[douglasjunior]

Hello, thank you for the library

I'm looking for a safe way to implement the geocode in iOS apps, but I have not found the good solutions, and I wonder if you guys have any tips.

I'm afraid to use the json geocode within the app as it is not possible to restrict the use of the API Key. We know that it is easy to discover the key as it is sent via "query param".

I found more people with the same questioning but no solution: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/40207120/google-api-key-security-for-ios-apps

What do you suggest? Take the risk and hope for the best?
