In the GMSMarker Class Reference, it says, for the appearAnimation property:

Controls the animation used when this marker is placed on a GMSMapView (default kGMSMarkerAnimationNone, no animation).

Using the Google Maps SDK for iOS, a marker can be made like this:

GMSMarker *startMarker = [GMSMarker markerWithPosition:@"NYC"];
startMarker.appearAnimation = kGMSMarkerAnimationPop;
startMarker.title = @"Start";
startMarker.snippet = @"My address";
startMarker.map = mapView;
