MKMapView hangs until Apple Maps app is launched

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?

I'm developping a new App using MapKit and I have observed the same issue. It appears randomly and sometines I can see errors in the Xcode console
