I cannot get traffic to show on a map using MapKit, MKMapView.

When I open the "iPhone

Maps"

application the

traffic

is visible, yet when using the MKMapView within an application, the traffic does not show.

I have created a simple application, which requires no coding by simply dragging a MKMapView onto the StoryBoard

by creating a new Single View application.

I have set the Map type to be standard and set the ShowTraffic to true.

Start a new project, add a MKMapView to the storyboard and set all the properties of the MKMapView to true using the
Attribute Inspector
:
Type: Standard
Shows: Buildings, Compass, Scale, Traffic, Points of Interest, User Location

I am using Xcode 9.4.1 and IOS Version 11.4.1

How do I get the traffic to show (Is this an apple IOS bug?)

AFAICT, this is not a bug, it is a feature that is not included.

If you get the same results if you set the `showsTraffic` property in code, please file a bug report.

I did another test using the same sample application on two devices,

iPhone 6S+ = no traffic data visible
iPhoneX = traffic data is visible
Both devices have the same IOS version with matching build numbers.

Thanks edford,

I have filed a bug report on 15 August 2018, the number assigned is 43327936. I have not received a response yet.

Would you recommend using one of my "support tickets" that one receives when you buy a "IOS Developers license" ?

I work for Developer Technical Support, and would be one of the people to review your ticket as it pertains to MapKit. If you do not see traffic data on the map after setting the `showsTraffic`, then following up on your bug report will be the best option here.
