“Apple Maps Guides”

I'm trying to create a link from a restaurant annotation on a map in my app (created using MapKit) that will open the Apple Maps app on an iphone. I've been using the Restaurant name, telephone number, and coordinates and cannot get applemaps to open the enhanced page (which contains photographs and customer reviews and is much more descriptive than the page that is opening, which only shows the location on a map with the phone number and coordinates. It is not that descriptive, and I'm trying to create a request that will make it very easy to jump back and forth between my app and the enhanced page on apple maps. here's what I'm using in my request: private func openInAppleMaps() { let coordinate = CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: restaurant.latitude, longitude: restaurant.longitude) let placemark = MKPlacemark(coordinate: coordinate) let mapItem = MKMapItem(placemark: placemark) mapItem.name = restaurant.name if let phone = restaurant.telephone1 { mapIt

Hey Apple team, I'd love to see a native wind animation layer added to Apple Maps and MapKit. A built-in, system-level wind visualization — similar to the animated weather layers seen in third-party apps — would be an incredibly powerful tool for developers building weather, aviation, marine, outdoor recreation, and navigation apps. Having this baked natively into MapKit would mean smoother performance, better battery efficiency, and a consistent experience across iOS, iPadOS, and macOS — rather than every developer having to reinvent the wheel with custom particle systems or third-party SDKs. Please Apple — this would be a fantastic addition to the Maps ecosystem. 🌬️🗺️

I have been experiencing a strange random failure with MapKit: Sometimes, an MKMapView configured to show the user location will hang, not retrieve any location updates and not report any kind of error (is there is even a way to do that?) UNTIL I launch the Apple Maps app and the return to my app. Location permissions are already granted so that's not an issue. Google Maps has no problem. Has anyone experienced anything similar?

In iOS 14, MapKit provides a new Map view for SwiftUI, but there does not seem to be a way to change the map type. Is there a way to change the map to a satellite map?

Hi, I am not able to see the swiftpm as folder to create the Guides, neither I can see package.swift file. I am using Swift 5.6

Hi, I’m new to iOS development and am wondering what resources everyone uses to learn how to do things. For example, I’m trying to add IAP to my first app but have had to pick up clues about how to do it from questions others have asked on StackOverflow. Apple seem to provide videos from WWDC which are good as an overview - but where are the detailed guides and code examples to work from? Thanks

Ok,I don't know if this is possible, but here goes:If you open the stock Maps app, set it to 3D and zoom out completely, you get this beautiful view of the earth showing day/night areas. Is it possible to achieve this within my app. I just want to show the same map, with reasonable zooming, for my location in my appThanksImran

I'm looking to integrate Apple Maps features into my WordPress website for location-based content. Has anyone successfully accomplished this and can share insights on how to seamlessly incorporate interactive maps within the WordPress platform? Any recommended plugins, APIs, or coding approaches that ensure a smooth integration and optimal user experience across devices? I'd greatly appreciate any guidance on best practices, potential challenges to watch out for, and practical tips based on your experiences. Thank you!

I would like to build an app similar to Google and Apple Maps that can provide turn by turn directions to a destination. However, I do not know where to start because i am new to this. I will hire someone but I don't even know what to hire someone for..help!

Hello, I am looking for a guide on what the HUD graph axis' are, with my main curiosity around the GPU metering. Is this number the load average of the cores, similar to the load avg you see in uptime/top or is it another descriptor? I've not been able to refer to a man page or the readme for this, google searches have yielded me many ways to disable the HUD, but no guide

I've started getting reports of this today and I am able to replicate it on my end but looking to see if anyone else can verify or if it's possibly regional to me (Canada). In Apple Maps (iOS or macOS), if you search a latitude and longitude -- for example: 49.110,-112.110 and search, it centers on the location as it always has and shows the Directions button. When you tap the directions button, I get A route can't be shown because of a problem connecting to the server.. Alternatively, if you pass the coordinate in via Apple Maps URL (https://maps.apple.com/?daddr=49.110,-112.110) it will route but the route is no longer to those specific coordinates, Apple Maps alters them to some nearest known entity (in this case, the RM of Warner County). If you compare the suggested route end destination with the search results for specifically entering the coordinates, you will see they are different locations and mapping routes are not actually taking you t

When i read SDK Compatibility Guide ,there is a link to guide Xcode Project Management Guide, Xcode Build Setting Reference and Running Applications in iOS Development Guide , But these guides can not be searched

Hi, I've done everything required to implement this intent, but when I run either in the simulator or on the device the handlerForIntent does not get called when Maps runs and I click on my Profile icon to try and get the 'Vehicles' option to show up. I know handlerForIntent is working because it's getting called for my custom event for Siri shortcuts. I've added INListCarsIntent to the IntentsSupported list in my extension's info.plist file. I've also included the protocol in my INExtension subclass and added the relevant functions for returning the vehicle list. I've also made the call for Siri authorization, which is returning Authorized. I'm really at a loss to know why Maps isn't calling out this intent. I'm on iOS16 and XCode 14. Thanks
