Hello All!
We are building an app and want to have the user's navigation status and route be shared with our app. Is there currently a way to do this on iOS?
For Example, if a user starts navigation within Apple Maps, we want to observe the location, route, and end destination from our app. Very similar to share ETA, but sharing with another app instead of another person.
For context, we want our app to know where a user is going and if they are currently using Apple Maps to navigate. Our app will (hopefully) be able to alert users of potential carpool riders they could pick up, once they have started navigation with Apple Maps.
On Android there are system APIs that share navigation event details with other apps, but I can't find anything on iOS. Other than building some type of service that a user could share their ETA with, which would be clunky as it would need to be an SMS send to a contact in their phone, is there a system API, or iOS Maps App API I'm missing?
