I'm using apple maps to build a feature so users can create and save running/cycling/hiking routes.
Currently the map only shows trails and similar local paths after zooming in to what is basically an extreme level.
I want the trails and local paths to be more visible on a further, broader level of zoom.

APPLE MAPS iOS EX:

Also strange that on iOS the path is visible while more zoomed out whereas JS does not.
Please advise how to show these map items at a broader zoom.

using the UseAnnotation in the map content does not show the blue user location. I added the info.plist info.

Hi everyone,
I submitted a request for the Location Push Service Extension entitlement back in November. I received an acknowledgment email from Apple confirming they had received my request, but I never heard back. Assuming the November request might have been lost in the shuffle, I submitted another request in January. It's been a week since then, and I still haven’t received any response.
To follow up, I contacted Apple Support with my case number. Unfortunately, it seems they didn’t review the case properly, as the support assistant just sent me generic links about what to do when an app is rejected—which doesn’t apply here.
Has anyone else experienced similar delays with this entitlement? Could there be specific reasons for such delays? Any tips on how to escalate this or get it addressed effectively would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your help!
The documentation for CLGeocoder states
Geocoding requests are rate-limited for each app, so making too many requests in a short period of time may cause some of the requests to fail. (When the maximum rate is exceeded, the geocoder returns an error object with the CLError.Code.network error to the associated completion handler.)
And it provides helpful guidance on how and when to submit geocoding requests.
The documentation for MKReverseGeocodingRequest does not mention requests are rate-limited. Does this mean it is not rate-limited? If it is rate-limited, is it similar to CLGeocoder, what is its behavior?
It is important to understand behavior of the API in order to understand impact on my app’s use case and how users will be affected should I change the implementation. Thanks!
I have just a thin blue line as the route polyline and it is quite different not to think that this ist just a small river? Does anyone have an idea how to change the color and the strike width (line width) of the polyline (between Essen and Dortmund). The solution by Gemini and ChatGPT is not working...
Thanks for your help, Markus

Hello Apple Developers,
I encountered a 401 Unauthorized error when developing a web map. I asked the developer to check whether my key authorization is normal.

Issue Summary
After calling startRangingBeacons, the didRangeBeacons delegate method does not receive iBeacon scan data when the device display is turned off in the background.
Expected Behavior
On iOS 17.2.1 (iPhone 14), beacon ranging continues in the background even when the display is turned off. The same behavior is expected on iOS 18, but it is not working as intended.
Observed Behavior
On iOS 18, once the display turns off, beacon ranging stops, and the didRangeBeacons method is not triggered until the display is turned back on.
• Location permission is set to “Always Allow.”
• Background Modes are correctly configured (Location Updates enabled).
Steps to Reproduce
Ensure location permission is set to Always Allow.
Enable Background Modes → Location Updates in Xcode settings.
Call startRangingBeacons(in:) in the app.
Put the app in the background and turn off the display.
Observe that didRangeBeacons is not triggered while the display is off.
Additional Notes
• The issue does not occur on iOS 17.2.1 (iPhone 14), where beacon ranging continues even with the display off.
• This behavior change is observed on iOS 18 across multiple devices.
Could you confirm if this is an intended change in behavior or a bug? If this is expected behavior, what alternative approach is recommended to maintain continuous beacon ranging when the display is off in the background?
Can I integrate Timer along with liveUpdates(_:) in order to manipulate the frequency. Let say for example I need the user location ever 1 min. Is it possible to do so?

We create new development maps for builders and developers. Is it possible for us to add the new streets and addresses to Apple Maps so that visitors can find these brand-new streets and addresses?
Hello,
I'm encountering an issue with UNLocationNotificationTrigger in my iOS app.
I've scheduled three local notifications using UNLocationNotificationTrigger, each tied to a distinct geographic region. These regions are significantly distant from one another and should not trigger simultaneously under normal movement conditions.
However, during testing, the user received all three notifications within one second, despite being physically located near only one of the regions. This behavior is unexpected and defeats the purpose of using location-based triggers.
Could you please clarify why this might be happening? Is there a known issue with UNLocationTrigger, or is there a possibility that iOS preemptively triggers all scheduled location notifications?
Any guidance or recommended practices to avoid this behavior would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
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
Does anyone know how long it usually takes for us to hear back from Apple regarding a request for Location Push Service Extension entitlement?
When trying the request "hotels" on MapKitJS with searchRegionPriority=default, it will return an hotel in Ramallah even if the searchRegion is very far from there. It can happen if your search region is very broad in most place (above Europe if you zoom out a lot, over Turkey and Middle East even if the bounding box is narrower), but on specific places it happens even with a small search region (like in Tripoli, Lebanon, whatever the zoom level). With searchRegionPriority=required, many hotels can be found in the same area.
Reproduce with:
https://maps-api.apple.com/v1/search?q=hotels&searchRegion=34.45512816097114,35.849070061159864,34.428418939926146,35.80795182731595&lang=en&searchRegionPriority=default
Hello
I'd like to be able to rotate an mapkit.ImageAnnotation.
From this post on Stack Overflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/78686475/need-to-style-a-mapkit-js-marker-annotation/78702266#78702266 I understand that it's possible, for example, to the following: map.annotations[0].element.style.cursor = "pointer"; and this works for me.
However, I need to do something like the following, but it doesn't work: map.annotations[0].element.style.transform = "rotate(90deg) ";
Any ideas how a mapkit.ImageAnnotation and mapkit.MarkerAnnotation can be rotated?
Thanks in advance

Hello everyone,
I'm encountering a strange location authorization issue in the iOS simulator, and I'm hoping someone can help me analyze it.
Problem Description:
When my app runs for the first time in the simulator, it requests location permissions.
I select "Deny" for the authorization.
Then, I go to the simulator's "Settings" -> "Privacy & Security" -> "Location Services" and enable location permissions for my app.
However, when I return to the app, CLLocationManager.authorizationStatus still returns .notDetermined, and the authorization request pop-up does not appear again.
This issue persists even after resetting the simulator settings multiple times.
import CoreLocation
@Observable
final class LocationManager: NSObject, CLLocationManagerDelegate {
var locationManager = CLLocationManager()
var currentLocation: CLLocationCoordinate2D?
override init() {
super.init()
locationManager.delegate = self
}
func locationManagerDidChangeAuthorization(_ manager: CLLocationManager) {
let status = manager.authorizationStatus
print("Authorize Status: \(status)")
switch status {
case .authorizedWhenInUse, .authorizedAlways:
locationManager.startUpdatingLocation()
case .denied, .restricted:
stopLocation()
case .notDetermined:
locationManager.requestWhenInUseAuthorization()
print("Location permission not determined.")
@unknown default:
break
}
}
func requestLocation() {
let status = locationManager.authorizationStatus
if status == .authorizedWhenInUse || status == .authorizedAlways {
locationManager.requestLocation()
} else {
locationManager.requestWhenInUseAuthorization()
}
}
func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didUpdateLocations locations: [CLLocation]) {
guard let newLocation = locations.first else { return }
currentLocation = newLocation.coordinate
print("Updated location: \(newLocation.coordinate)")
}
func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didFailWithError error: Error) {
print("Location update failed with error: \(error.localizedDescription)")
currentLocation = nil
}
func stopLocation() {
locationManager.stopUpdatingLocation()
print("Stopped updating location")
}
}

Hi everyone,
I’m trying to use WeatherKit REST API in my iOS app, but for several days now I always get the same response:
WeatherKit capability is enabled in my App ID
WeatherKit is enabled in App Services (in Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles)
WeatherKit REST API is enabled in my developer account
JWT is correctly signed with private key from AuthKey_XXXXX.p8
Token contains correct iss, kid, sub, exp, and scope
Request is sent to https://weatherkit.apple.com/api/v1/weather/en/50.45/30.52 with Authorization: Bearer
Still, the response is always 401 NOT_ENABLED.
This is not a temporary issue — I’ve been testing this for over 5 days, regenerating keys, JWTs, and checking the setup.
Everything seems correct — but WeatherKit just won’t respond with actual data.
Has anyone experienced something similar?
Is there something missing in the setup not documented?
Thanks in advance!

I recently converted over my map from Mapbox Maps to MapKit Map. I have been able to add my polygons on the Map using MapPolygon. The issue I am having is being able to select the Polygon to be able to view information about the polygon.
Has anyone been able to figure out a way to tap on the Polygon? I have tried selection but the Polygon doesn't recognize the tap. I would really appreciate it if anyone could point me in the right direction of how I can accomplish this.
Our Indoor Map for shopping center has been stuck at "Occupants Data in Review" for a few weeks. Can someone on that team assist? Thank you.

Hello,
I write a Bachelor-Theses about Geolocation on an iPhone. I have a Signal-generator from R&S to simulate GPS-Data. I write an App on an Android-Phone and can readout the GPS-ID and the strength from the signal and the time and Position for Geolocation zb. Island or Africa like this.
Now my thesis is about the iPhone and I write an App for get the location manager Geolocation and to save it to a sqlite-database with longitude, latitude and time.
But the App recognizes only the real world for geolocation on GPS (LTE and Wlan are disabled!). With my Radio-Generator it would not recognize any Geolocation like the Android phone.?
So I need some fast help for my thesis, where are my problems?
I allready have a function like this:
func updateAccuracy(highAccuracy: Bool) {
locationManager.desiredAccuracy = highAccuracy ? kCLLocationAccuracyBestForNavigation : kCLLocationAccuracyHundredMeters
print("🎯 GPS-Genauigkeit geändert: (highAccuracy ? "Hoch" : "Plane-Genauigkeit")")
}
but nothing happens?
Best regards
