MKLaunchOptionsDirectionsModeDefault MKLaunchOptionsDirectionsModeDriving MKLaunchOptionsDirectionsModeWalking MKLaunchOptionsDirectionsModeTransit when I am using the mapkit navigation, I only see the 4 modes, but can not find the mode of bicycle, so how can I find the enum of using bicycle to navigate by bicycle ,than you!~ Xcode version is 16.

hi, does someone encounter this problem, this is sample code : let request = MKDirections.Request() request.source = MKMapItem(placemark: startPlacemark) request.destination = MKMapItem(placemark: endPlacemark) request.transportType = .transit // .transit does not work I want to make a route with two point(startPlacemark and endPlacemark ), when I give request.transportType the value of **.transit ** ,I found it not work, ps: .automobile .walking works well , my Xcode version is 16 .

A north american map that allows myself and family to drop pins and with those pins upload up to a min video to share w other users. This does not have to have navigation just a basic pin drop on a live map that uploads in real-ish time to share w other users ..... i am stuck at where to start, any suggestions or has anyone already made a version they could share advice ? much appreciated

I am using the code provided on the website https://developer.apple.com/maps/sample-code/embedded-map/index.html, replacing it with my own MapKit JS Token. When accessing it using a network in mainland China, a 401 error occurs with the message [Initialization failed because the authorization token is invalid]. However, it works normally when using a network in Japan. Does this service not work in mainland China?

Is there a way to obtain the information associated to multiple places at once? For example, instead of passing a single placeID, passing an array of placeIDs, and getting the basic info such as the name, the coordinates, etc.

This is my first post here. Please guide me, if I need to provide more information to answer this post. I write a simple application, that monitors GPS position (location). I followed Apple documentation for LiveUpdates: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/corelocation/supporting-live-updates-in-swiftui-and-mac-catalyst-apps My app can monitor location in foreground, background or it can completely stop monitoring location. Background location, if needed, is switched on when application changes scenePhase to .background. But it is in the foreground, that memory leaks occur (according to Instruments/Leaks. Namely Leaks points to the instruction: let updates = CLLocationUpdate.liveUpdates() every time I start location and then stop it, by setting updatesStarted to false. Leaks claims there are 5x leaks there: Malloc 32 Bytes 1 0x6000002c1d00 32 Bytes libswiftDispatch.dylib OS_dispatch_queue.init(label:qos:attributes:autoreleaseFrequency:target:) CLDispatchSilo 1 0x60000269e700 96 Bytes CoreLocation 0x184525c64 Malloc 48 Bytes 1 0x600000c8f2d0 48 Bytes Foundation +[NSString stringWithUTF8String:] NSMutableSet 1 0x6000002c4240 32 Bytes LocationSupport 0x18baa65d4 dispatch_queue_t (serial) 1 0x600002c69c80 128 Bytes libswiftDispatch.dylib OS_dispatch_queue.init(label:qos:attributes:autoreleaseFrequency:target:) I tried [weak self] in Task, but it doesn't solve the leaks problem and causes other issues, so I dropped it. Anyway, Apple doesn't use it either. Just in case this is my function, which has been slightly changed comparing to Apple example, to suit my needs: func startLocationUpdates() { Task() { do { self.updatesStarted = true let updates = CLLocationUpdate.liveUpdates() for try await update in updates { // End location updates by breaking out of the loop. if !self.updatesStarted { self.location = nil self.mapLocation = nil self.track.removeAll() break } if let loc = update.location { let locationCoordinate = loc.coordinate let location2D = CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: locationCoordinate.latitude, longitude: locationCoordinate.longitude) self.location = location2D if self.isAnchor { if #available(iOS 18.0, *) { if !update.stationary { self.track.append(location2D) } } else { // Fallback on earlier versions if !update.isStationary { self.track.append(location2D) } } } } } } catch { // } return } } Can anyone help me locating these leaks?

Hello. I’m trying to use Core Location Service on any application in Mac (Safari, Maps, Weather, Chrome with Core Location configuration, or just trigger the API with a standalone app) and it seems that all of them constantly fail to provide the geolocation of my device because of the same error (kCLErrorLocationUnknown). I'm using MacBook Pro (M3 Max) with Sonoma 14.7. I’m sure the apps have access in the settings and everything is in order except the Core Location response. I’ve tested the issue on multiple MacBooks and it reproduced 100% of the times on all of them. Did anyone encounter a similar issue?

Hi everyone, I’m encountering a strange issue with GPS tracking in my app, and I’m hoping for some insights. I’m developing an app that records users' GPS activities (walking, biking, etc.) with app in the foreground and/or background. Most activities are outdoors, sometimes in areas with poor GPS reception, such as mountains. To track user location, we’re using: locationManager = CLLocationManager() locationManager.distanceFilter = 3 locationManager.activityType = .fitness locationManager.pausesLocationUpdatesAutomatically = false locationManager.allowsBackgroundLocationUpdates = true The Issue In certain scenarios, the GPS behaves unexpectedly. For example (see attached image below): A user followed a normal route (brown line), then reached an intersection and turned right (blue arrow). However, the GPS continued straight for about 200 meters (brown line) before correcting itself and resuming accurate tracking. Here’s a snippet of the recorded coordinates during this misbehavior: time,latitude,longitude,elevation,verticalAccuracy,horizontalAccuracy 10:17:17,47.92408,7.10438,950.82375,4.74865,4.80005 10:17:33,47.92410,7.10435,950.14966,4.74865,4.10799 10:17:44,47.92412,7.10431,943.63913,4.74865,4.46287 10:17:53,47.92413,7.10427,939.51380,4.74865,4.60644 10:17:59,47.92415,7.10424,934.82986,4.74865,4.52599 10:18:02,47.92417,7.10420,932.53145,4.74865,4.823035 10:18:05,47.92418,7.10416,927.84917,4.748655,4.59619 10:18:09,47.92420,7.10413,924.89886,4.748655,4.50172 10:18:13,47.92422,7.10409,923.35354,4.74865,4.77356 10:18:18,47.92424,7.104055,920.16327,4.74865,4.78286 10:18:22,47.92426,7.10400,915.23174,4.74865,4.66226 10:18:28,47.92427,7.10397,906.08626,4.74865,4.97331 10:18:31,47.92429,7.10394,903.25157,4.74865,4.81649 10:18:35,47.92431,7.10390,895.27948,4.74865,5.15392 10:18:38,47.92433,7.10386,889.71076,4.74865,5.25283 10:18:42,47.92435,7.10382,881.74041,4.74865,5.49089 10:18:46,47.92437,7.103785,874.34945,4.74865,5.55564 10:18:49,47.92439,7.10374,869.63184,4.74865,5.37537 10:18:53,47.92441,7.10370,861.26690,4.74865,5.39344 10:18:57,47.92443,7.10366,854.67646,4.74865,5.30404 10:19:01,47.92445,7.10362,848.48881,4.74865,5.59742 10:19:06,47.92447,7.10359,836.48915,4.74865,5.65666 10:19:08,47.92449,7.103555,835.72566,4.74865,5.54957 10:19:10,47.92450,7.10352,834.41579,4.74865,5.63540 10:19:13,47.92452,7.10348,830.17080,4.74865,5.65795 10:19:16,47.92454,7.10344,828.17052,4.74865,5.72169 10:19:19,47.92456,7.10340,824.93658,4.74865,5.62606 10:19:24,47.92458,7.10337,818.40503,4.74865,5.23265 10:19:34,47.92460,7.103335,804.42539,4.74865,4.683855 10:19:38,47.92462,7.10329,799.51747,4.74865,4.47590 10:19:48,47.92464,7.10324,784.97044,4.74865,4.59459 10:19:50,47.92466,7.10320,782.04750,4.748655,4.71036 10:19:57,47.92468,7.10317,777.49314,4.74865,4.60504 10:20:05,47.92469,7.10313,771.30168,4.74865,4.35574 10:20:09,47.92472,7.10308,766.64446,4.74865,4.94510 10:20:13,47.92474,7.10304,757.33384,4.74865,5.39175 10:20:15,47.92476,7.10300,753.52157,4.74865,5.442045 10:20:20,47.92477,7.10297,742.66179,4.74865,5.52391 10:20:23,47.92479,7.10293,735.38369,4.74865,5.44657 10:20:25,47.92480,7.10290,732.19367,4.74865,5.519945 10:20:28,47.92482,7.10286,725.15380,4.748655,5.58173 10:20:31,47.92484,7.10282,717.08813,4.74865,5.37805 10:20:34,47.92486,7.102785,710.35208,4.74865,5.27918 10:20:37,47.92488,7.10274,706.16774,4.748655,5.53270 10:20:40,47.92490,7.10270,702.84802,4.74865,5.71088 10:20:41,47.92648,7.10356,940.27115,6.600805,10.78768 10:20:43,47.92651,7.10355,940.24665,6.61807,10.45243 At 10:17:44, the location data was correct. Shortly after, CLLocationManager started returning inaccurate coordinates. Despite the system reporting good horizontal and vertical accuracy, the altitude readings drop progressively from 940m to 702m, even though the user remained at 940m in reality. (We also recorded barometric elevation, which confirms that he stayed around 900m) Then, at 10:20:41, the GPS corrected itself. Questions Is it possible that GPS could "lock onto" the wrong path, generating valid-looking but incorrect coordinates? Can we force CLLocationManager to use GPS exclusively (disabling other sensors like Wi-Fi)? I assumed that setting activityType = .fitness would prioritize outdoor tracking, but I’m still being located indoors. Could adjusting the activityType improve this behavior? Could having multiple CLLocationManager() instances in our app cause issues? (We use one to save the GPS coordinates, but MapBox also creates a CLLocationManager with lower accuracy for its Telemetry framework, for example) Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions!

I’m building an iOS app using MapKit that allows users to create and navigate trails. I need offline map functionality, I was wondering if MapKit supports that. If not I was wondering if MapBox is a viable alternative to MapKit though I would prefer using MapKit. Thanks!

Hi, in MapKit JS the hybrid view appears to have lost the street names overlay in the last few days. Does anyone know if this is an issue/error or a changed feature? Thanks.

Hi, Where can I get more information on expected behaviour for the liveUpdates() configuration options, .default, .automotiveNavigation, .fitness, .automotive, .otherNavigation? Looking for expected accuracy, frequency of updates, non/stationary transition, etc. Thanks

We are experiencing an issue where MKMapView appears red on the app builded with Xcode 16 and executed on iOS 18 simulator. Only the ground is affected and buildings or POIs stay normal color. Xcode 16.1 beta 3 shows same result. Is there any similar case?

Hi, I am working on a React Native app and i want to have a latitude longitude of a user in every 15 minutes and want to do something like an api call with it. I want to keep continuing this no matter my app is in background, foreground or in killed state. Is there any way or method through which i can achieve this natively or using React Native?

I updated my phone 14 pro to ios 18 and I faced issue with GPS. it’s show me in next Country and after minutes or hours it’s moved to the correct location how is it can fix it

I keep getting severe weather warnings in CA but I’m in NY. I have checked my locations and I have no CA weather requests selected. I clicked on the alert and it said it was from weatherkit. How do I make these CA go away for good? Thanks!

Hello everyone, I’m facing an issue with my iOS app where the GPS/location services icon appears in the status bar immediately when the app is launched, even though I’m not intentionally accessing location services at that point. Issue Summary: • GPS Icon Activation: When I launch my app, the GPS icon turns on. It turns off when the app is minimized or closed. • No Intentional Location Usage at Launch: I have ensured that no instances of CLLocationManager are created when the app is launched. What I’ve Tried So Far: 1. Checked Controllers and Related Classes: • Reviewed all the code for the controllers that are active at launch. • Verified that none of these controllers create instances of CLLocationManager or call location-related methods. 2. Commented Out startUpdatingLocation: • Commented out all calls to startUpdatingLocation throughout the entire project. 3. Ensured No CLLocationManager Instances at Launch: • Searched for any code that might instantiate CLLocationManager during app launch. • Confirmed that no such instances are being created. 4. Commented Out Google Maps SDK Configuration: • In AppDelegate, commented out the Google Maps SDK configuration, so it’s not initialized with the API key. • No map views (GMSMapView, MKMapView) are initialized or used when the app is launched. 5. Tested Location Permissions: • When I change the location permission for the app to “Never” in the Settings app, the GPS icon does not appear upon app launch. • This suggests that the app is accessing location services when it has permission, even though I haven’t explicitly requested it at launch. Objective: • Control GPS Activation: I want to ensure that the GPS does not turn on when the app is launched. I intend to activate location services only when needed later in the app. Request for Assistance: I’m seeking guidance on the following: 1. Debugging Techniques: • How can I trace the code that’s causing the GPS to turn on at app launch? • Are there tools or methods to identify hidden or indirect calls to location services? 2. Forcing Location Services Off at Launch: • Is there a way to programmatically prevent location services from activating during app launch? • Can I defer any implicit location service initialization until I explicitly enable it? 3. Potential Hidden Triggers: • Are there known scenarios where location services could be activated without direct use of CLLocationManager? • Could frameworks like Google Maps SDK trigger location services even if not fully initialized? 4. Additional Suggestions: • Any other insights or suggestions to prevent the GPS icon from appearing on app launch. Additional Information: • Third-Party Frameworks: • I have not removed third-party frameworks yet, as I wanted to check other possibilities first. • Open to the idea that a third-party framework might be causing this, but need guidance on how to confirm. • Code Availability: • I’m happy to provide specific code snippets if that would help diagnose the issue. Environment: • Xcode Version: Xcode 15.4, Xcode 16.0 • iOS Deployment Target: iOS 15.0 • Devices Tested: iPhone SE 2nd and 3rd gen, iPhone 15, iPhone 15 pro, iPhone 11 • Programming Language: Swift What I’m Looking For: • Assistance in tracing the cause of the GPS activation on app launch. • Suggestions on how to prevent location services from starting until explicitly needed. • Insights into any hidden triggers or indirect usages that might cause this behavior. Thank you for your time and assistance. Any help to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated.

I have checked the setting and it is and has always been set to forever when it comes to settings-messages-message history. Yet since I upgraded to ios 18.1, my messages have started to delete by themselves every other day or so. In the last week, I have had to go into the recently deleted and recovered the messages at least 3-4 times. It does not delete all my messages just random messages from whom I have messaged recently. I have message that have been there for at least 6 years and those are not deleting. Please help before I lose some valuable messages.

This is a standalone SwiftUI app w/ watchOS 11. To make things simple, I'm using the new concurrent API, like that: for try await update in CLLocationUpdate.liveUpdates() { … } watchOS is supposed to show the auth dialog, but it doesn't show up, even though update.authorizationRequestInProgress is true. What could be the reason? (Note that I also tried with the procedural old CLLocationManager API, it doesn't work that way as well)

We developed a app in which the I need the app to update the User's location even in background( even after terminating from the recent UI ), Currently I am receiving the location updates when the user has kept the app in open and if minimised, But I want that it should update the location even when it is removed from recent app (minimised UI)(after terminating the app) Is it possible to do so.???

Hello everyone, I’m experiencing an issue with App Clips Advanced Experiences and Apple Maps/Siri Suggestions. We have already contacted Apple Support before, but they are investigating the cause of this issue and it has not been resolved til date. The App Clip is bundled with the main app and has been already available on the App Store for several months. The business running the app has several physical shops and wants to offer the App Clip to show up in Apple Maps and Siri Suggestions at each location. The App Clip is correctly exposed in the AASA file, and it's also validated correctly by the AASA APIs available at https://app-site-association.cdn-apple.com/a/v1. { "applinks": { "apps": [], "details": [ { "appID": "TEAMID.bundleid", "paths": [] } ] }, "appclips": { "apps": [ "TEAMID.bundleid.Clip" ] } } (with TEAMID and bundleid being the team and bundle identifiers of the app) The App Clip is displayed correctly when loading the website and when scanning a QR code or App Clip code, but doesn't appear in the Maps app or in Siri suggestions. We have set up the App Clip Advanced Experiences on the App Store Connect page of the app, and each URL has been linked to a physical shop. All URLs are in the "Received" state, so they should appear correctly on Maps. Unfortunately, I don't see any "Order" button in Apple Maps at any location card. We tried with both iOS 17 and 16. According to feedbacks from people in the shops, they don't see the app suggested in the Siri Suggestions. I have just submitted a Custom Action Link on Apple Business Connect for one of the shops, but without success: the App Clip doesn't appear. Any idea why is this happening?
