Hi. I've been developing an app that uses Mapkit. Is Mapkit allowed in the Swift Student Challenge? If not, does anyone know of any offline alternatives to Mapkit or a way to make mapkit offline? I've been developing my app for way too long until I questioned whether its allowed.
Thanks,

I asked about this internally and received confirmation that this isn’t a good idea, for exactly the reasons you’re concerned about: MapKit requires the network and the fine print is very clear that the network won’t be available.
I’m not an expert in mapping libraries, so I can’t answer that. If no one else chimes in, I recommend that you start a new thread for that specific question. Put in it the App & System Services > Maps & Location topic area, so that the relevant folks see it.
Share and Enjoy
