Trying to use new Swift @Observable to monitor GPS position within SwiftUI content view. But how do I tie the latest locations to the SwiftUI Map's mapCameraPosition? Well ideally the answer could cover: How to fix this error - So get map tracking along with the User Position, but also How to include facility to turn on/off the map moving to track the user position (which I'll need to do next). So could be tracking, then disable, move map around and have a look at things, then click button to start syncing the mapcameraposition to the GPS location again Refer to error I'm embedded in the code below. import SwiftUI import MapKit @Observable final class NewLocationManager : NSObject, CLLocationManagerDelegate { var location: CLLocation? = nil private let locationManager = CLLocationManager() func startCurrentLocationUpdates() async throws { if locationManager.authorizationStatus == .notDetermined { locationManager.requestWhenInUseAuthorization() } for try await locationUpdate in CLLocationUpdate.liveUpdates() { guard let location = locationUpdate.location else { return } self.location = location } } } struct ContentView: View { var newlocationManager = NewLocationManager() @State private var cameraPosition: MapCameraPosition = .region(MKCoordinateRegion( center: newlocationManager.location?.coordinate ?? <#default value#>, span: MKCoordinateSpan(latitudeDelta: 0.25, longitudeDelta: 0.25) )) // GET ERROR: Cannot use instance member 'newlocationManager' within property initializer; property initializers run before 'self' is available var body: some View { ZStack { Map(position: $cameraPosition) Text("New location manager: \(newlocationManager.location?.description ?? "NIL" )") // works } .task { try? await newlocationManager.startCurrentLocationUpdates() } } } #Preview { ContentView() }

I have a test application I'm working on (so it's a fresh Xcode project under Sonoma - with older map code borrowed from another project). It is a macOS application. And in Obj-C. When the map window is opened the logs contain the following - I've been trying to hunt down and resolve. Thank you in advance for any clues/pointers. Failed to locate resource "default.csv" Failed to locate resource "satellite@2x.styl" Failed to locate resource "satellite@2x.styl" Failed to locate resource "satellite.styl" Failed to locate resource "satellite@2x.styl" Failed to locate resource "satellite@2x.styl" Failed to locate resource "satellite.styl" Failed to locate resource "satellite.styl" Couldn't find satellite.styl in framework, file name satellite.styl Authorization status: Authorized The application does have MapKit.framework included.

If I change MKMapView's .preferredConfiguration property from .realistic to .flat, or .mapType from .hybridFlyover to .hybrid, subsequent scrolling causes a crash: -[MTLDebugRenderCommandEncoder validateDrawIndexedPrimitives:indexCount:indexType:indexBuffer:indexBufferOffset:instanceCount:function:]:6179: failed assertion `Draw Indexed Primitives Validation indexBufferOffset(0) + (indexCount(864) * 2) must be <= [indexBuffer length] (12). For example, changing: mapView.preferredConfiguration = MKHybridMapConfiguration(elevationStyle: .realistic) to: mapView.preferredConfiguration = MKHybridMapConfiguration(elevationStyle: .flat) Then, scroll the map view, and it will crash. It is OK the other way around. Or change: self.mapView.mapType = .hybridFlyover to: self.mapView.mapType = .hybrid I've tried everything I can think of, including calling functions like these after the change: mapView.setNeedsDisplay() mapView.setRegion(self.mapView.region, animated: false) .mapType and .preferredConfiguration are settable properties, so they should be possible to change. I could create a new MKMapview, but I'd have to perfectly recreate the state which is not trivial and far from ideal. I'm just trying to work around the issue FB14553276 so my map tiles don't show tiling seems in 2D which is a new issue introduced with iOS 18. This potential workaround still shows the seems in 3D, but is better than always showing seems. Seems like whatever I do, I just can't defeat MapKit bugs and puts me in an impossible situation. :( I've submitted Feedback this issue: FB16153802 It seems like others are experiencing the issue: https://forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/730780

Loading tile overlays is slow even when the raster data is locally available on the device running iOS 18.2 and built with Xcode 16.2. In this video (https://3dtopo.com/superSlowTileLoading.mov) it takes 38 seconds to load tiles readily available on the device. Then, the whole screen flashes when tiles that are already drawn are redrawn, making for a very poor user experience. 38 seconds to load a dozen or so small images (512x512) stored locally on the device is simply unacceptable. I can't release a product like this that I've spent the last 1.5 years building and many years developing the maps themselves. This severe issue is new since I committed to basing my app on MapKit. Note that this issue does not occur with Apple's base map tiles. I created a Feedback Assitant case, FB16110803, for this issue. For the video, I disabled loading any tiles from the network and disabled loading any other data, such as polylines. Essentially all I am doing is loading the tiles stored on the device and returning them, such as: public func loadTile(at path: MKTileOverlayPath, result: @escaping (Data?, Error?) -> Void) { fetchData(forKey: key, failure: {error in result(nil, error)}, success: {data in result(data, nil)}) } open func fetchData(forKey key: String, failure fail: ((Error?) -> ())? = nil, success succeed: @escaping (Data) -> ()) { let path = self.path(forKey: key) do { let data = try Data( contentsOf: URL(fileURLWithPath: path), options: Data.ReadingOptions()) succeed(data) self.updateDiskAccessDate(atPath: path) } catch { if let block = fail { block(error) } } }

I'm doing a weather app, users can search locations for getting weather, but the problem is, the results only shows locations in my country, not in global. For example, I'm in China, I can't search New York, it just shows nothing. Here's my code: @Observable class SearchPlaceManager: NSObject { var searchText: String = "" let searchCompleter = MKLocalSearchCompleter() var searchResults: [MKLocalSearchCompletion] = [] override init() { super.init() searchCompleter.resultTypes = .address searchCompleter.delegate = self } @MainActor func seachLocation() { if !searchText.isEmpty { searchCompleter.queryFragment = searchText } } } extension SearchPlaceManager: MKLocalSearchCompleterDelegate { func completerDidUpdateResults(_ completer: MKLocalSearchCompleter) { withAnimation { self.searchResults = completer.results } } } Also, I've tried to set searchCompleter.region = MKCoordinateRegion( center: CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: 0, longitude: 0), span: MKCoordinateSpan(latitudeDelta: 180, longitudeDelta: 360) ), but it doesn't work.

Hi, I am having some troubles creating a "nested" RealityView content using MapKit attachment. I am building a visionOS app that has horizontal MapKit map as an attachment to RealityView. I want to display 3D pins on that map, therefore I am using native map annotation and inside of these annotations, I create a new RealityView just for the 3D pin. This worked completely fine, unitil I wanted to have those RealityViews interact with each other. By interaction of those RealityViews I mean that I wanted to group entities from the first "main" RealityViews content with the 3D pins using ModelSortGroupComponent. Why I want this? I want to make the map circular, that is not a problem. Problem is that when I move the map with 3D pins, these pins have their own RealityView space and are only bounded by volumetric window dimensions. What happes is that these pins float next to the map (shown on attached image). So I came up with this solution: create a custom "toroid" like 3D entity model that occludes the pins that go outside the map region. In order to occlude only the pins, I need to use ModelSortGroupComponent to group the "toroid" entity with 3D pins entities (as described in another forum thread). To summarize: need the content of the superior RealityView to interact with map attachment annotations RealityView content in order to group them. There might be of course another, better way to achieve my whole goal, so I would naturally appreciate any help or guidance. Image below showing 3D pins on circular map. Since pins RealityView does no know anything about other RealityViews, it just overlows and hangs in space until is cropped by volumetric window boundary. Simplified code: var body: some View { let modelSortGroup = ModelSortGroup(depthPass: .prePass) RealityView { content, attachments in var mainEntity = Entity() // My other entities here... if let mapAttachment = attachments.entity(for: "mapAttachment") { // Edit map properties, position, horizontal layout etc. mainEntity.addChild(mapAttachment) } // Create and add to content mask "toroid" entity mapMaskEntity. Use OcclusionMaterial() material. mapMaskEntity.components.set(ModelSortGroupComponent(group: modelSortGroup, order: 0)) // For all pins, somehow also set the group // 3DPinEntity.components.set(ModelSortGroupComponent(group: modelSortGroup, order: 1)) content.add(mainEntity) } attachments: { Attachment(id: "mapAttachment") { Map { ForEach(mapViewModel.clusters, id: \.id) { cluster in Annotation("", coordinate: cluster.coordinate) { MapPin3DView(cluster: cluster) } } } .clipShape(Circle()) } } } // MapPin3DView is an map annotation view that includes a model of 3D pin and some details like image etc., uses RealityView. struct MapPin3DView: View { var body: some View { RealityView { content in // 3D pin entities... } } }

Hi! I'm attempting to run the Quakes Sample App^1 from macOS. I am running breakpoints and confirming the mapCameraKeyframeAnimator is being called: .mapCameraKeyframeAnimator(trigger: selectedId) { initialCamera in let start = initialCamera.centerCoordinate let end = quakes[selectedId]?.location.coordinate ?? start let travelDistance = start.distance(to: end) let duration = max(min(travelDistance / 30, 5), 1) let finalAltitude = travelDistance > 20 ? 3_000_000 : min(initialCamera.distance, 3_000_000) let middleAltitude = finalAltitude * max(min(travelDistance / 5, 1.5), 1) KeyframeTrack(\MapCamera.centerCoordinate) { CubicKeyframe(end, duration: duration) } KeyframeTrack(\MapCamera.distance) { CubicKeyframe(middleAltitude, duration: duration / 2) CubicKeyframe(finalAltitude, duration: duration / 2) } } But I don't actually see any map animations taking place when that selection changes. Running the application from iPhone simulator does show the animations. I am building from Xcode Version 16.2 and macOS 15.2. Are there known issues with this API on macOS?

Try the following code on macOS, and you'll see the marker is added in the wrong place, as the conversion from screen coordinates to map coordinates doesn't work correctly. The screenCoord value is correct, but reader.convert(screenCoord, from: .local) offsets the resulting coordinate by the height of the content above the map, despite the .local parameter. struct TestMapView: View { @State var placeAPin = false @State var pinLocation :CLLocationCoordinate2D? = nil @State private var cameraProsition: MapCameraPosition = .camera( MapCamera( centerCoordinate: .denver, distance: 3729, heading: 92, pitch: 70 ) ) var body: some View { VStack { Text("This is a bug demo.") Text("If there are other views above the map, the MapProxy doesn't convert the coordinates correctly.") MapReader { reader in Map( position: $cameraProsition, interactionModes: .all ) { if let pl = pinLocation { Marker("(\(pl.latitude), \(pl.longitude))", coordinate: pl) } } .onTapGesture(perform: { screenCoord in pinLocation = reader.convert(screenCoord, from: .local) placeAPin = false if let pinLocation { print("tap: screen \(screenCoord), location \(pinLocation)") } }) .mapControls{ MapCompass() MapScaleView() MapPitchToggle() } .mapStyle(.standard(elevation: .automatic)) } } } } extension CLLocationCoordinate2D { static var denver = CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: 39.742043, longitude: -104.991531) } (FB13135770)

I've encountered a weird issue with the new Map for iOS 17. In my list, which includes a MapView among other elements, I've observed that with the new initializer, the top and bottom bars are persistently displayed. They don't hide and only appear when scrolling, as they should. This problem doesn't occur with the old, now-deprecated initializer. To illustrate this, I have two screenshots: one with the map enabled and the other with the map disabled, demonstrating the issue. Here is also my new Map code: struct MapListRowView: View { @Binding internal var location: LocationModel @State internal var user: Bool = true private var position: CLLocationCoordinate2D { .init(latitude: location.latitude, longitude: location.longitude) } private var isPad: Bool { UIDevice.current.userInterfaceIdiom == .pad ? true : false } var body: some View { Map(bounds: .init(minimumDistance: 1250)) { if user { UserAnnotation() } Annotation("", coordinate: position) { ZStack { Circle().fill().foregroundColor(.white).padding(1) Image(systemName: "mappin.circle.fill") .resizable() .foregroundColor(.indigo) }.frame(width: 20, height: 20).opacity(user ? .zero : 1.0) } } .frame(height: isPad ? 200 : 100) .cornerRadius(8) .listRowInsets(.init(top: -5, leading: .zero, bottom: -5, trailing: .zero)) .padding(.vertical, 5) .disabled(true) } }
