We are using MapKit JS Look Around and initializing it like this: window.lookAround = new mapkit.LookAround( document.getElementById('container'), new mapkit.Coordinate(listingLocation[1], listingLocation[0]), {openDialog: false}) ; This results in a Look Around scene being displayed correctly but the camera heading is not pointing towards the lat/lng that is passed to initialization. The example lat/lng that we're using is: lat=30.004195, lng=-95.59973 This lat/lng corresponds to the address: 11943 Laurel Meadow Dr, Tomball, TX 77377. The camera is pointing to the other side of the street to house number 11946. If you look for that address in Apple Maps the Look Around points to the correct house. Is there a way to either specify the heading so that Look Around points in the correct heading? Sample link: https://s.hartech.io/zFP2KnsCbsP

I'm experiencing app crashes when calling the CLMonitor initialization function: let monitor = await CLMonitor("my_monitor") According to WWDC 2023: Meet Core Location Monitor, when creating a CLMonitor object with the same identifier, it should access the existing monitor without any mention of app crashes or buggy behavior. However, in my actual testing, attempting to create a CLMonitor object with the same identifier immediately causes an app crash. Here's part of the crash log: Last Exception Backtrace: 0 CoreFoundation 0x19c4ab21c __exceptionPreprocess + 164 (NSException.m:249) 1 libobjc.A.dylib 0x199945abc objc_exception_throw + 88 (objc-exception.mm:356) 2 Foundation 0x19b7a9670 -[NSAssertionHandler handleFailureInMethod:object:file:lineNumber:description:] + 288 (NSException.m:252) 3 CoreLocation 0x1aa25cbb4 +[CLMonitor _requestMonitorWithConfiguration:locationManager:completion:] + 516 (CLMonitor.mm:516) 4 libswiftCoreLocation.dylib 0x22bf6085c CLMonitor.init(_:) + 488 (CLMonitor.swift:280) 5 libswiftCoreLocation.dylib 0x22bf604b9 <deduplicated_symbol> + 1 6 MiniPlengi 0x106372ec9 closure #1 in static CLMonitor.loplatMonitor.getter + 1 (CLMonitor+Extensions.swift:31) 7 MiniPlengi 0x1062ce325 0x106290000 + 254757 8 MiniPlengi 0x1062f6a29 specialized thunk for @escaping @isolated(any) @callee_guaranteed @async () -> (@out A) + 1 (/<compiler-generated>:0) 9 MiniPlengi 0x1062ce325 0x106290000 + 254757 10 libswift_Concurrency.dylib 0x1a7f75241 completeTaskWithClosure(swift::AsyncContext*, swift::SwiftError*) + 1 (Task.cpp:537) Furthermore, even though I've written code to create CLMonitor objects based on a singleton structure to handle these crash cases, the app still crashes: extension CLMonitor { static var loplatMonitor: CLMonitor { get async { struct Static { static var monitor: CLMonitor? static var initializationTask: Task<CLMonitor, Never>? } // If already initialized if let monitor = Static.monitor { return monitor } // If there's an initialization task in progress, wait for its result if let task = Static.initializationTask { return await task.value } // Create new initialization task let task = Task { let monitor = await CLMonitor("my_monitor") Static.monitor = monitor Static.initializationTask = nil // Clean up task after completion return monitor } Static.initializationTask = task return await task.value } } } Is the CLMonitor API still in a stabilization phase and not recommended for production release? I would appreciate guidance on the correct usage. If these issues are expected to persist, I'm wondering if I should continue using the existing CLCircularRegion API instead. Any insights or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Reported as FB20357097 In SwiftUI, an empty .safeAreaInset modifier attached to a Map causes the map to become zoomed out to planet level. Minimal reproduction: import SwiftUI import MapKit @main struct map_region_safe_area_inset_bugApp: App { var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { Map { // Any Map content MapCircle(center: .init(latitude: 35.6895, longitude: 139.6917), radius: 1000) } .safeAreaInset(edge: .top) { // No content, `EmptyView()`, `Color.clear` } } } } Note: ZStack { } inside the safeAreaInset prevents the bug. Empty safeAreaInset (bug) Non-empty

I am having a problem with the following scenario.

Is there an alternative way to read the info from the map location shared to my app?

I have a sample that stop working on IOS 26, using the latest XCode and IOS sdk, the onTapGesture event is no longer happening. Maybe this is no longer the way to drop pins on the map. Also not working on the iPhone 17 sim or iPhone 16 max pro device upgrading to IOS 26 Thanks, any help Sample: import SwiftUI import MapKit import CoreLocation import Foundation struct Pin: Identifiable { let id = UUID() let coordinate: CLLocationCoordinate2D } struct ContentTestPinDropView: View { @State private var pins: [Pin] = [] var body: some View { MapReader { reader in Map(selection: .constant(nil)) { ForEach(pins) { pin in Marker("Pin", coordinate: pin.coordinate) } } .onTapGesture { screenPoint in if let coordinate = reader.convert(screenPoint, from: .local) { pins.append(Pin(coordinate: coordinate)) } } } } }

Pinned 2 homes address for the same contact Steps Initial check in Apple Maps No saved places or pinned addresses appear. Open Personal Contacts You have two addresses stored in your contact card: Main and Home. Pin & Edit “Main” You pinned the Main address in Maps. Refined the location on the map. Renamed it (but still saved under the type “My Home”). Open “Home” Address in Contacts Refined the location again. Changed the type to “My Home.” Attempted to rename, but no option to change the label. Final Saved Places View Shows two entries both called “Main.” Opening either of them displays the same details for the Home address. Saved Places list only shows the full address text, without the ability to rename them inside Maps. Results Both addresses appear duplicated with the same name (“Main”), even though they point to different underlying addresses. When selecting either entry, Apple Maps incorrectly shows the same Home address details. The Saved Places section does not allow renaming; it defaults to showing the full address string. Issues Identified Sync Conflict Between Contacts & Maps Apple Maps pulls labels/types from Contacts, but the edits don’t update consistently across apps. Duplicate Naming Bug Both “Main” and “Home” collapse into “Main” in Saved Places, making them indistinguishable. One-to-One Mapping Failure Regardless of which saved place you open, Maps shows the same Home entry, meaning the system isn’t correctly binding each saved place to its respective contact address. Renaming Limitation Apple Maps doesn’t allow renaming saved addresses directly — it relies on Contacts. Since Contacts only supports preset labels (Home, Work, School, etc.), custom naming is blocked.

Hello, CLServiceSession is not on macOS. Does anyone have a drop-in CLServiceSession like replacement for macOS that wraps CLLocationManager? I would like to migrate to the latest for the other platforms. FWIW I filed FB17910626 Thanks!

As GeoCoder is now deprecated I am struggling to get the country only information from the new MKReverseGeocoding. Maybe someone can guide me or give me direction? Or is this just not possible anymore? let request = MKReverseGeocodingRequest(location: self.lastLocation ?? fallbackLocation) request?.getMapItems { items, error in guard let items = items else { return } self.cityName = items.first?.addressRepresentations?.cityWithContext ?? "" self.countryName = items.first?.addressRepresentations?.regionName ?? "" } I couldn't find anything here, sure you can get the full Address but I need single values to store so the user can search for (example City, Country) In case the structure is always the same, let us say the country is always third part, sure I could split the string but it is not a reliable way to do this, at least for me. Any help would be much appreciated.

hi, When changing the map to Satellite in Apple Maps and centering it on Ōmuta City, Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan (as shown in the image), the app crashes when swiping to the right. This issue also occurs in MapKit, and I confirmed it happens in Apple Maps as well. It seems that either the satellite map tiles are missing or an error is occurring. Our application is experiencing a crash, and this has become a serious issue. Since September 1, crashes have increased significantly. Initially, we suspected that the issue was due to our application’s implementation, but our investigation revealed that the problem lies with the map tiles being called through MapKit. Could you please investigate this issue and provide a fix?

We developed an IMDF indoor map for a client (paid work) which we submitted to Apple a few months ago. Our client is wondering how many months the approval process will take. Also, we would like to get paid for the work. Any estimate from that team would be appreciated. Thank you

Apple recently announced DL-TDoA (Downlink TDoA) support on iOS 26, and the API is currently marked Beta. Using two iPhones (16 Pro and 13) on iOS 26.0 Beta, I’m starting a Nearby Interaction session and need to read NITLDOA parameters (address, carrier frequency offset, signal strength/RSSI), but I can’t find a supported way. I’m also seeing asymmetry: iPhone 13 reports distance+direction, while 16 Pro reports distance only. Is there a supported workflow/API to access those parameters, and any known device/OS constraints that would cause direction to be unavailable on 16 Pro?

I'm currently testing the CLMonitor API and have a question about CLServiceSession management. When my app is relaunched from a terminated state in the background due to CLMonitor events, do I still need to create and maintain a CLServiceSession instance? I'm wondering if CLServiceSession is necessary even when I don't need to continuously receive GPS updates through liveUpdates. Since CLMonitor can trigger app launches for region monitoring events without requiring constant location updates, I'm unclear about whether the CLServiceSession is still required in this scenario. Any clarification on the proper implementation would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Team, when our customers turn on bluetooth connectivity whether Apple creates a profile of the user or their locations and if it is used for any other purpose. Could you please clarify this? we are getting the below message in the Bluetooth permissions popup below the map "Information from Bluetooth devices can be used to determine your location and create a profile of you." What is this profile? and what is the purpose of creating it while the user uses Bluetooth in ios app.

Hi, Apple recently announced DL-TDoA (Downlink TDoA) support on iOS26. This API is currently marked as Beta. We are working on integrating this functionality into our app, already added the APIs and tried to configure a new DL-TDoA session using NIDLTDOAConfiguration (the only parameter it takes is networkIdentifer). The session is configured but automatically invalidated by the OS. When is DL-TDoA expected to be fully supported by phones? Can we expect a detailed documentation or specification explaining how to arrange the session with the DT-Anchors (channel, ranging duration, ...)? Do we need Bluetooth LE connection with the anchors while running DL-TDoA? We already have the 4 DT-Anchors (1 initiator and 3 responders) ready, looking forward to be able to test this new exciting feature and get DL-TDoA measurements to trilaterate the phone position within a map. Regards.

Hello within these last two updates find my location has been turned off for my other phone number, only a specific number can’t see my location, but everyone else can see my location, I am puzzled as to what is going on

We have a that relies on accurate GPS location but we’ve noticed that every now and then the location ‘jumps’ a few hundred meters to a different location but reports horizonal accuracy less than 10m. we think the device is picking up a rough location from a local WiFi rather than internal gps sensors. can we a) disable WiFi location Updates? b) identify WiFi location Updates? thank You

I tried detecting fake locations using CLLocationSourceInformation.isSimulatedBySoftware, but it doesn’t work with spoofing tools like iTool AnyTo. It never gets flagged as simulated. Is this a limitation of the API, and is there any recommended way to detect virtual location tools on real devices?

I am encountering a coordinate rendering issue using MKMapView in my iOS app. I have a GPS coordinate in WGS84 format, which corresponds to a location in Hong Kong. When my device is physically located in Hong Kong, MKMapView displays the map with the "Apple Maps" label, and the WGS84 coordinate is rendered at the correct position. However, when the device is in Mainland China, MKMapView switches to display "Amap" (Gaode Maps) branding, and the same WGS84 coordinate is rendered at an incorrect position. I understand that Amap in Mainland China uses the GCJ-02 coordinate system, while Apple Maps typically uses WGS84. This discrepancy suggests a potential coordinate system mismatch, but I cannot definitively confirm which map type (and corresponding coordinate system) MKMapView is actually using in different regions. My key questions are: How can I programmatically or visually confirm the underlying map type (Apple Maps vs. Amap) and its coordinate system within MKMapView? Is there a way to simulate the Apple Maps environment for testing when physically located in Mainland China?

I'm trying to scan for Beacon's in a visionos app iBeacon detection via CoreLocation (like CLBeacon or CLBeaconRegion) isn't supported on visionOS, so I went for CoreBluetooth + Manual Beacon Parsing Problem is I don't get my beacons scanned, only the other bluetooth devices central.scanForPeripherals(withServices: nil, options: [CBCentralManagerScanOptionAllowDuplicatesKey:true]) what should I do?
