Apple Maps Guides

Anybody else seeing the map freeze in their App since upgrading to iOS 16.1 ? Like the app totally freezes, not just the map even.

I'm currently playing with Apple Map's MapKit for SwiftUI, aiming to make a tool that helps me navigate inside the airport as I find out that Apple Map in my iPhone can direct me within the airport from gate to gate. I want to integrate this function into my SwiftUI application, but I believe that MapKit only gives directions between places to places, like from my home to the airport, but not directions travelling indoor in the airport. Are there any ways for me to integrate the Apple Map that supports airport's indoor navigation into my App? Thanks!

My Mac will not run Xcode 15.3 which uses Swift 5.10. It will run Xcode 15.2 which uses Swift 5.9.2. The problem I am seeing is that Apple provides the language guide for Swift 5.10 but not the guide for Swift 5.9. Is this a real problem or am I over reacting, if not, where can I get and how do I install the reference guide for Swift 5.9 that will show up in Xcode

I'm making an app that can have locations and links shared to it. I have gotten the share intent working for text and urls with: NSExtensionActivationSupportsWebURLWithMaxCount: 1 NSExtensionActivationSupportsWebPageWithMaxCount: 1 NSExtensionActivationSupportsText: true in Info.plist of the share extension. I am able to share Google Maps locations and safari websites. However, my app does not appear when I share a location on Apple Maps. I also tried the other options in the docs (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/information-property-list/nsextension/nsextensionattributes/nsextensionactivationrule) as well without success. When I share a location (i.e. a shop) in Apple Maps, it looks like a link but perhaps its something else? Does anyone know how to get an app to come up in the share menu of an Apple Maps location? Thanks!

Does anyone know if there is a way to move the Maps and Legal text in the Map SwiftUI view? App Store Guidelines require that the text be shown, but if you are trying to add some type of sheet or view overlay for some of the map, I can't seem to find a way to add extra bottom padding to this text.

Are there any official iOS localization style guides specifically for Japanese?I've pointed out to my L10n team that spaces should not be inserted before or after an English word, and they replied with the following:Please refer to “3.1.14 Symbols & spaces” section in the attached PDF. It’s Microsoft’s Japanese localization Style Guide which you can download from here. Not sure if we have company_name version of Japanese style guide but this is comprehensive. As a software distributor for Windows platform, it’s understandable that we follow this guideline. I think it makes sense to use the same style guide for company_brand products across OS platforms, unless there’s OS specific style definition.oh my god. how can they default to a Microsoft localization style guide for localizing an iOS app?I've also pointed out to them that Apple's apps like Settings do not add spaces, but without an official Apple documentation the L10n team doesn't want t

We’ve set up an advanced App Clip experience that successfully launches when a user scans our QR code. However, the same App Clip invocation URL does not launch when tapping the associated Action Link on our Apple Place Card in Apple Maps. Instead of opening the App Clip, the link falls back to the website. What We Have Done So Far: App Clip Launched in App Store Connect: Our App Clip is approved and live on the App Store. Here is the invocation URL: https://appclip.parkzenapp.com/park?q=oJrbSIgx Below is the QR code for our Advanced App Clip experience we are attempting to open in our Apple Maps Place card When scanning the QR code that uses the same App Clip invocation URL, the App Clip reliably launches as expected. Here is our apple-app-site-association file, thats correctly served from the associated domain: https://appclip.parkzenapp.com/.well-known/apple-app-site-association Add here is a screenshot showing how the appclip.parkzenapp.com do

I'm developing an iOS app that displays store locations on a map using Apple Maps (MapKit). I've limit the number of icons that can be displayed on the map to 100, but there's still huge performance issues and the app is very laggy even on modern iPhone models. What's the best practice when displaying a large number of icons on a map, should the icons be in PNG format with a small resolution (~10kb) or should the icons be vector (SVG) for best performance? Should I use the MapKit framework for iOS 17 or the UIKit approach?

Hi, I am trying to build a button in our app that when pressed, will launch users to their native Maps app with their destination pre-entered and No Highways automatically selected.Currently I am doing this using the Maps URL http://maps.apple.com/?daddr=+destinationCoords+&dirflg=d, where destinationCoords is the coordinates of the user's selected destination, like 33,-122.The problem is, the Maps URL scheme does not seem to support a parameter for avoiding highways, https://developer.apple.com/library/content/featuredarticles/iPhoneURLScheme_Reference/MapLinks/MapLinks.htmlI tried looking at MKMapItem's openMaps and openInMaps but those don't seem to support launching Maps with No Highways automatically selected either. I had no problem doing this with Google Maps. Is there any way at all to do the same with Apple Maps?Thanks,Terry

I am using apple map web snapshots beta version to display map locations on a report I generate. There can be more than 10 map locations I need to display on the map. When I tried to load all those images images at once in a report the API returns me below response. {error:{message:Not Authorized,details:[]}} But same code works for a single image. Is there any limitation on the number of images I can retrieve simultaneously? Or should I follow any specific way for my attempt of using Apple Maps Web Snapshots?

Hello All, I am new and would appriciate any advice/asistance from you seasoned folks. My recent binary was rejected by apple because they indicated I have the maps entitlement and my app does not use maps. Understandable, however I do not have maps in my entitlements file. I've gone through my app several times, Maps is OFF in capabilities tab and I confirmed maps is not listed in the entitlemant file - therefore I am at a loss.Any thoughts, Ideas, suggestion would be appriciated - thank you.Xcde: 7.1.1OSX: 10.11.6

iOS and iPadOS 15 contain the new layout for the Apple TV remote in the control center. This new layout contains a guide button at the middle top and channel buttons on the right bottom of the remote. I'm currently making a live TV app and I'm interested in capturing the events from these buttons and taking the appropriate actions within the app, like displaying the TV guide view. So how do I capture the events from these buttons and do I need to do something to make these buttons appear/available when my app is active?
