Has anyone been able to get GoogleMaps running in simulator with GMSServices.setMetalRendererEnabled(true)

I'm looking to evaluate Google's Map performance and abilities. Given the updates to Metal I wanted to evaluate how the performance worked with and without metal enabled.

Given GoogleMaps-Swift Sample, I was able to get Basic map rendering up and running by setting up workspace with pod install, and by adding my APIKet. Unfortunately, when I attempted to enable Metal rendering, I get a crash. I stepped through with latest SDK + pod install workspace setup.

GMSServices.setMetalRendererEnabled(true)

Some considerations:

• Is this only for device to enabled? If so, does it need to be documented in the headers?
• Is there something I'm missing to be able to enable properly?
