Apple Maps Guides

Hi all,Our project (which incorporates an iOS app) is currently using Google Maps Geolocation REST API to translate Wi-Fi and cell tower data coming from proprietary devices into GPS lat/long coordinates. https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geolocation/introFor example, you can look up the location of a Wi-Fi access point based on the following input:{ macAddress: 00:25:9c:cf:1c:ac, signalStrength: -43, age: 0, channel: 11, signalToNoiseRatio: 0}However, this service does not cover all of our customer's locations, particularly when the house has an iPhone only.Does Apple offer an equivalent REST API service, based on Apple Maps?Thanks,Henry

I love the new SwiftUI APIs for Apple Maps. However, I am missing (or haven't found) quite a number of features, particularly on visionOS. Besides an easy way to zoom maps, the most important feature for me is marker clustering. If you have a lot of markers on a map, this is an absolute must. Is there any way to accomplish this?

Hello,I've been developing a web app which utilizes the google maps javascript api and the markerwithlabel extension.After a bit of testing I found after having zoomed in on a marker, zooming out using a pinch gesture causes the entire Safari/Chrome tab to crash on an iPad 2 running iOS 8 and 9.Here is the code I used:HTML<div id=maptest/>Javascript$(function () { var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('maptest'), { zoom: 4, center: new google.maps.LatLng(0, 0), mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP }); for (var i = 0; i < 10; i++) { var marker = new MarkerWithLabel({ position: new google.maps.LatLng(i, i), map: map, labelContent: A, }); } });Css#maptest { width: 100vw; height: 100vh; }You can check it out in this fiddle:http://jsfiddle.net/mac89/h8w3v7v0/15/The crash seems to only occur when using a label, in this fiddle the crash does not happen:http://jsfiddle.net/mac89/h8w3v7v0/17/Decreasing the size of the map seems to lessen the cha

Can’t see this as a known issue in the release notes. When in driving / walking directions, Maps does not keep pace with the device’s position, causing Maps to lag behind with turn by turn directions. Sometimes up to 30 seconds passes between the location updating. Anyone else experiencing this issue? iPhone X, 64GB, Dev beta 2.

If your application uses encryption in any way, even SSL or HTTPS, you need an Encryption Registration (ERN) from the US Bureau of Industry (BIS). I recently got one for an app that I got in the Mac App Store and I documented my whole journey to share it and be a guide for other people needing to do the same. It's actually not very hard, as long as you know the steps to take (twice I needed to call US agencies to figure out the next step). Here it is: How to legally submit an app to Apple’s App Store when it uses encryption (or how to obtain an ERN).Enjoy and feel free to ask any questions, I'll try to answer them and/or update the guide to the best of my knowledge. Oh... and disclaimer, I'm not a lawyer and this is not legal advice.

Is it possible to use a map view in a situation where there is no internet access?The app I'm developing is for use at an event, which means I know in advance where the user will be. I'd like to be able to preload the map data for that area so that it can be available without internet. It's a pretty small area (less than 1 square mile).Thanks,Frank

In WWDC 2019 session In-App Purchases and Using Server-to-Server Notifications they say that in our server we must have in a database a field for the userId.I think that a good candidate to use as userId for iOS and tvOS would be identifierForVendor:UIDevice.current.identifierForVendor?.uuidStringAnd for macOS the GUID but the info that I found in the Apple documentation uses Objective-C instead of Swift:https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/releasenotes/General/ValidateAppStoreReceipt/Chapters/ValidateLocally.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40010573-CH1-SW14Is there info about who to do it using Swift somewhere or should I use Objective-C?I also found some code of Swift in github, but I do not now if really get the real Mac UUID and also if this method is allowed by Apple. func macSerialNumber() -> String { let platformExpert: io_service_t = IOServiceGetMatchingService(kIOMasterPortDefault, IOServiceMatching(IOPlatformExpertDevice)); guard let serialNumberAsCFString = IORegistr

Does anyone know of any good guides or tutorials for NSWindow/NSDocument programming which cover modern API features like tabbing and accessory view controllers?I have an app I'm working on that needs some TLC to really shine with these new features and I'm somewhat at a loss, as the API docs don't really describe how to use these features in combination to achieve anything real.The relevant features of my app that I'm trying to make work:Operates primarily on a Project file which is an NSDocument subclass, and a package of (mostly) opaque internal NSDocument subclassesIndividual files within the Project package can be opened in separate tabs within the same project windowProject windows display a custom titlebar containing relevant controls/information (similar to Xcode or Safari)What I have sort of working is:Open a Project file... I can get the window title bar to show either: the standard proxy-icon/filename of the project filethe name of the current document (but no proxy-icon)Auto-tabbing for o

Hi, I've been asked to estimate a project that would require ARKit, unfortunately I'm new to the technology and need some quick answers as to how it works. The app my customer wants to build would overlay simple graphics at street addresses, as the user pointed their camera at buildings or storefronts. For this to work, I'd need to be able to have the AR view tell me what map locations or street addresses are being seen in the camera view. Is this possible? Thanks, Frank

I am switchingt to the new WWDC 2023 SwiftUI map with user location and a few map annotations. I find if I use .mapStyle(.imagery(elevation: .flat)) as the map style, the map will be loaded with a reasonably zoomed area. However, if I use .mapStyle(.imagery(elevation: .realistic)) on the same map, the simulator will give me a view of the entire planet. I have to manually zoom in everytime to find the user location and annotations, which is not very convenient. This is the only map style configuration that does this. I am not very sure if this is a feature or a inconsistency bug. If this is a feature, I cannot see the purpose of it.
