Before the iOS 16 in Apple maps there wouldn't be any 3d buildings that would extrude from the map. when we increase the pitch. Now in the new version of apple maps there are buildings automatically generated when we increase the pitch or go into the "3D" View. is there way to disable to disable those buildings entirely I noticed the showBuildings property has been deprecated.

I've tried using the new

self.mapView.preferredConfiguration = MKStandardMapConfiguration(elevationStyle: .flat, emphasisStyle: .default)

hoping it would give me the old maps. but nothing works.

Any solution to this?

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/mapkit/mkmapview/1452483-showsbuildings. - it seems they've deprecated it - wish they didn't. I really liked the simpliciy of having a flat map. Can the Apple devs please bring this property back, found it extremely useful when building out bespoke UX. Flat map is a nice to have. Should be easily configurable.
