I have to add a pulse ring animation around a marker. As I see there is only NSObject in GOOGLEMAPS so we cannot add up a view . I have also tried to change or animate the scale of the marker but the scale change did not happen. Can anybody help me with this thing?

I've worked quite a bit with clustering markers with Google Maps for iOS SDK. GMSMapView uses OpenGL to render the markers on the map corresponding to the data points added via GMSMarkers. They provide a basic pop animation on appearance, but nothing else.

Without tracking GMSMarker movements and adding/keeping track of your own UIViews on the GMSMapView, this doesn't seem possible. GMSMarker lets the user specify a UIImage to replace the default marker image, but not animate the rendered UIImage, as the GMSMapView is backed by OpenGL. It is quite limiting- clustering markers was difficult because you cannot replace the default GMSMarker image with just a UIView. It HAS to be a UIImage.
