I want to use MapKit with App Intents, but the map does not show up.(See attached image) Can anyone help me solve this? import SwiftUI import MapKit struct ContentView: View {   @State private var region = MKCoordinateRegion(     center: CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: 37.334_900,                     longitude: -122.009_020),     latitudinalMeters: 750,     longitudinalMeters: 750   )       var body: some View {     VStack {       Map(coordinateRegion: $region).frame(width:300, height:300)         .disabled(true)     }   } } struct ContentView_Previews: PreviewProvider {   static var previews: some View {     ContentView()   } } import AppIntents import SwiftUI import MapKit struct test20220727bAppIntentsExtension: AppIntent {   static var title: LocalizedStringResource = "test20220727bAppIntentsExtension"       func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult {     return .result(value: "aaa", view: ContentView())   } } struct testShortcuts:AppShortcutsProvider{   @available(iOS 16.0, *)   static var appShortcuts: [AppShortcut]{     AppShortcut(       intent: test20220727bAppIntentsExtension(),       phrases: ["test20220727bAppIntentsExtension" ]     )   } }

First of all : Thanks for the great presentation (wwdc2023-10180), Siraj ! This new, simple API looks like what we've been looking for for easy manageable background location updates with 'automatic battery drain minimization' :-) There were two questions that came to my mind. As far as I understood, the CLLocationUpdate.LiveConfiguration is used to help the location services to improve the location fixes. Are there other options planned to specify the granularity of delivered locations e.g., how accurate the locations need to be (as the desiredAccuracy and distanceFilter settings for the olden CLLocationManager)? Does the Implementation switch between significant location changes and regular, more expensive ways (like GPS hardware) or just deliver the most feasible accuracy available at the time of notification? I'm just curious - if I get the most feasible granularity, everything is fine for me anyway :-) Thanks again, Michael

Does visionOS support mapkit?

We are currently experiencing a very interesting issue when accessing the location in the background with CLLocationManager. The user has given our app the "whenInUse" permission for locations and in most cases the app provides location updates even when it's in the background. However, when we started to use other navigation apps in the foreground we saw that the func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didFailWithError error: Error) method was called with (kCLErrorDomain error 1.). The user hasn't changed the location permission and we saw that locations were delivered once the user opened the app again. I don't see anything in the documentation explaining this issue, but I chatted with other developers that confirm that specific behavior. Am I missing something here?

I'm working on an in-house iOS app designed to help users accurately track their routes during trips. Currently, I've implemented a method to track users when the app is open in the background. However, I'm facing challenges, as the tracking stops when the device is locked for more than 10 minutes. I'm looking for a solution to continuously track a user's geolocation, even if the app is closed or not in use. Specifically, I want to ensure uninterrupted tracking, especially when the device is locked. Here are some key points: Current Method: I'm currently using the Core Location method and a combination of background tasks and a repeating timer to fetch the user's location and update a log for geolocation tracking when the app is open in the background. Issues Faced: The tracking stops when the device is locked for more than 10 minutes. This limitation impacts the accuracy of the route tracking during longer trips. Objective: My goal is to achieve continuous geolocation tracking, even when the app is closed or not actively used, to provide users with a seamless and accurate record of their routes. Platform: The app is developed for iOS using the .net maui platform, and I'm seeking solutions or suggestions that are compatible with the iOS .net maui environment. If anyone has experience or insights into achieving continuous geolocation tracking on iOS, especially when the app is not in use or the device is locked, I would greatly appreciate the assistance.

This question has been asked several times by other users before. But there is no solution provided it seems. So I am asking the same here. I have a screen where I add mapview as a subview. In that it is showing instead of "Legal".

I have tried to make colored annotations in mapView (shown in the commented sections) but they always appear in black. Any help would be appreciated. func mapView(_ mapView: MKMapView, viewFor annotation: MKAnnotation) -> MKAnnotationView? { let annotationView = MKAnnotationView(annotation: annotation, reuseIdentifier: "TempAnnotationView") annotationView.canShowCallout = true annotationView.rightCalloutAccessoryView = UIButton(type: .detailDisclosure) let configuration = UIImage.SymbolConfiguration(pointSize: 10, weight: .thin, scale: .default) if annotation.title == "Start" { // let config = UIImage.SymbolConfiguration.preferringMulticolor() // let image = UIImage(systemName: "flag.fill", withConfiguration: config) // // palette // let config2 = UIImage.SymbolConfiguration(paletteColors: [.systemRed, .systemGreen, .systemBlue]) // let image2 = UIImage(systemName: "person.3.sequence.fill", withConfiguration: config2) // // hierarchical symbols // let config3 = UIImage.SymbolConfiguration(hierarchicalColor: .systemIndigo) // let image3 = UIImage(systemName: "square.stack.3d.down.right.fill", withConfiguration: config3) // // color // let image4 = UIImage(systemName: "cone.fill")?.withTintColor(.systemRed, renderingMode: .alwaysTemplate) // annotationView.image = image4 annotationView.image = UIImage(systemName: "poweron", withConfiguration: configuration) } return annotationView }

I've started getting reports of this today and I am able to replicate it on my end but looking to see if anyone else can verify or if it's possibly regional to me (Canada). In Apple Maps (iOS or macOS), if you search a latitude and longitude -- for example: "49.110,-112.110" and search, it centers on the location as it always has and shows the "Directions" button. When you tap the directions button, I get "A route can't be shown because of a problem connecting to the server.". Alternatively, if you pass the coordinate in via Apple Maps URL (https://maps.apple.com/?daddr=49.110,-112.110) it will route but the route is no longer to those specific coordinates, Apple Maps alters them to some nearest known entity (in this case, the RM of Warner County). If you compare the suggested route end destination with the search results for specifically entering the coordinates, you will see they are different locations and mapping routes are not actually taking you to the coordinates anymore. In the last photo attached, the arrow points to where "49.110,-112.110" is actually located which tapping the "Directions" button cannot figure out a route because of a server issue. If you pass it in via URL, it changes the destination coordinates and begins a route quite a ways away from the intended coordinate. The problem started happening either this morning or last night. Can anyone else confirm this happens to them? Thanks, Mike

While updating my app for iOS 18 I have run into some major issues with how CLMonitor and visit tracking are handled in the background. I have implemented the new CLServiceSession (i think) correctly. In my @main App struct's init method I call CLServiceSession(authorization: .always) to create a session. This is done in the foreground when the app is launched and also in the background. From what i understand this is the intended way to create a session as when the app is relaunched by the system the existing session is terminated a few moments later. What im seeing in iOS 18 vs iOS 17 is drastically less location updates being delivered to the app. i see around the same significant updates being delivered (around 1 per mile - 5 miles) but the CLMonitor.CircularGeographicConditions are being triggered at about 1 per 1 to 2 minutes regardless of the radius. When a zone is left the condition is removed in the background and a new condition is created at the next place it should be tracking. For visit tracking, it only reports a visit correctly about 10% of the time. my guess is the app is getting suspended and/or terminated and the CLServiceSession isn't correctly being reinitialized (or something completely different, i'm really not sure at this point) I would love some guidance as to the correct way to handle these updates in iOS 18. It is unclear if these are intentional limitations imposed in iOS 18, incorrect implementation on my part, or a bug in the betas. Note: startUpdatingLocation is not appropriate for this app as it is way too power hungry.

I have the CarPlay Entitlement "Driving Task" and two of my apps use it. Now, in both apps, I have implemented Navigation. I requested the Navigation CarPlay Entitlement when the feature was mature and builds were available in Test Flight, since I wanted to release the new versions of the apps with navigation available both on the iPhone and in CarPlay. I got no answer to my request, so I decided to release the apps with only navigation in the iPhone and the Driving Task functionality in CarPlay, thinking that maybe being live with navigation in the App Store was a requirement. I have asked permission again, and so far, the request is being ignored again. What are the requirements to get the Navigation CarPlay Entitlement? If the app is approved for navigation, is there something else the app must do to get the entitlement? Requirements for CarPlay Entitlements seem quite obscure, are they listed anywhere? Is there a technical problem to move from an existing CarPlay Entitlement to another? Can that be the reason the entitlement has not been granted? Some of my competitors have the CarPlay Navigation entitlement. My use case is the same (in a better app in my opinion, of course). But I am only getting bad reviews because "the app does not include the map in CarPlay" after the big investment in implementing navigation in the apps. Any help or insight would be appreciated.

When I call requestWhenInUseAuthorization in state kCLAuthorizationStatusNotDetermined on iOS 18 Beta 4 in the simulator, all my apps just terminate without any error message in the Xcode console (black screen with an activity indicator for a second or two and then it goes back to the springboard). I do have the NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription set in my Info.plist file. When running the exact same apps in Xcode 16.0 beta 4 (16A5211f) but with a iOS 17 simulator attached, it is working as expected by showing the location authorization dialog. Is this a known issue or am I missing something?

Has anyone found a thread-safe pattern that can extract results from completerDidUpdateResults(MKLocalSearchCompleter) in the MKLocalSearchCompleterDelegate ? I've downloaded the code sample from Interacting with nearby points of interest and notice the conformance throws multiple errors in Xcode 16 Beta 5 with Swift 6: extension SearchDataSource: MKLocalSearchCompleterDelegate { nonisolated func completerDidUpdateResults(_ completer: MKLocalSearchCompleter) { Task { let suggestedCompletions = completer.results await resultStreamContinuation?.yield(suggestedCompletions) } } Error: Task-isolated value of type '() async -> ()' passed as a strongly transferred parameter; later accesses could race and Error: Sending 'suggestedCompletions' risks causing data races Is there another technique I can use to share state of suggestedCompletions outside of the delegate in the code sample?

On iOS 16 and below, the Apple logo is not displayed (Leagal labe is displayed). On iOS 17, both logo and legal are displayed. I have not specified layoutMergin for MKMapView. Map View attribute inspector has specified standard settings Why is only Apple Logo is not displayed ? Thank you

I have a MKMapView with a MKScaleView. If I visualise a generic map I have the scale in km. When I change the MKMapRect using visibleMapRect, the scale doesn't change. If I use setVisibleMapRect(_ mapRect: MKMapRect, animated animate: Bool), the scale change but not to the correct one. For example, it shows a scale saying one inch corresponds to 250 m while it is 150 m. The same issue of I use MKCoordinateRegion. Instead, if I zoom in or zoom out pinching on the map, the scale updates correctly. Am I doing something wrong? How can I fix this? Sample code: import UIKit import MapKit let CORNER_RADIUS: CGFloat = 8.0 let METERS_PER_MILE: Double = 1609.344 class PIAnnotation: NSObject, MKAnnotation { var coordinate: CLLocationCoordinate2D private(set) var title: String? private(set) var subtitle: String? init(location: CLLocationCoordinate2D, title: String? = nil, subtitle: String? = nil) { coordinate = location self.title = title self.subtitle = subtitle } } class PISimpleMapView: MKMapView { private let HALF_MAP_SIDE_MULTIPLIER: Double = 1.4 private let pinIdentifier = "pinIdentifier" private var scaleView: MKScaleView? typealias PinAnnotationView = MKMarkerAnnotationView // MKPinAnnotationView required init?(coder: NSCoder) { super.init(coder: coder) inizialize() } override init(frame: CGRect) { super.init(frame: frame) inizialize() } func inizialize() { layer.cornerRadius = CORNER_RADIUS register(PinAnnotationView.self, forAnnotationViewWithReuseIdentifier: pinIdentifier) addScale() } private func addScale() { let scale = MKScaleView(mapView: self) scale.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false scale.scaleVisibility = .visible // always visible addSubview(scale) let guide = safeAreaLayoutGuide NSLayoutConstraint.activate([ scale.leftAnchor.constraint(equalTo: guide.leftAnchor, constant: 16.0), scale.rightAnchor.constraint(equalTo: guide.centerXAnchor), scale.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: guide.topAnchor), scale.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 20.0) ]) scaleView?.removeFromSuperview() scaleView = scale } func displayPinOnMap(location: CLLocation) { let annotation = PIAnnotation(location: location.coordinate, title: "Sample", subtitle: nil) addAnnotation(annotation) // Position the map so that all overlays and annotations are visible on screen. visibleMapRect = visibleArea(from: annotation) // setVisibleMapRect(visibleArea(from: annotation), animated: true) // region = MKCoordinateRegion(visibleArea(from: annotation)) } private func visibleArea(from annotation: PIAnnotation) -> MKMapRect { let annotationPoint = MKMapPoint(annotation.coordinate) return MKMapRect(x: annotationPoint.x - HALF_MAP_SIDE_MULTIPLIER * METERS_PER_MILE, y: annotationPoint.y - HALF_MAP_SIDE_MULTIPLIER * METERS_PER_MILE, width: HALF_MAP_SIDE_MULTIPLIER * 2.0 * METERS_PER_MILE, height: HALF_MAP_SIDE_MULTIPLIER * 2.0 * METERS_PER_MILE) } }

I am trying to use MapKit JS in Tauri and Flutter desktop apps but I can‘t because if I want the key not to expire I have to whitelist a domain but my apps don't run on the web and therefore don't have a valid domain.

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?

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.???

I'm trying to create a UIImage from a MKLookAroundScene, after the user has moved the scene, by looking (and moving) around. Is this possible? When I use MKLookAroundSnapshotter with the modified scene, I always get an image of the original (starting) scene. STEPS TO REPRODUCE Create a scene using MKLookAroundSceneRequest with coordinates. Use LookAroundPreview with a binding to MKLookAroundScene to get changes to the scene (based on looking around). User begins LookAround, moving the scene location and view. User ends LookAround The preview displays the updated scene properly. The scene's cameraFrameOverride values reflect the pitch, roll, yaw, and location changes. Pass the updated scene to MKLookAroundSnapshotter to get an image. Display the Image. The Image is the original scene (not what is displayed in the preview).

Hello, I'm trying to receive location updates on background mode but it only lasts about 10 minutes then it stops when API detected the "isStationary" is true. Is there any way to continue receiving updates even when the device is stationary? Btw app is not terminated by the user. I'm using CLLocationUpdate.liveUpdates(.otherNavigation) API. CLBackgroundActivitySession is created before calling the liveUpdates. CLLocationManager: let manager: CLLocationManager = { let manager = CLLocationManager() manager.distanceFilter = kCLDistanceFilterNone manager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyThreeKilometers manager.pausesLocationUpdatesAutomatically = false manager.activityType = .other manager.showsBackgroundLocationIndicator = true manager.allowsBackgroundLocationUpdates = true return manager }() Thank you!

I am trying to retrieve the ellipsoidal altitude from a CLLocation but it seems like an invalid value is always returned, no matter the vertical accuracy (which according to the documentation should just be > 0) I first encountered this problem while developing a tool to retrieve workouts from healthkit, but i tried this code in a playground and i still get zero. import CoreLocation var location = CLLocation(coordinate: CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: 46.071067, longitude: 13.234579), altitude: 113, horizontalAccuracy: CLLocationAccuracy(floatLiteral: 1.0), verticalAccuracy: CLLocationAccuracy(floatLiteral: 1.0), timestamp: Date()) print(location.ellipsoidalAltitude) Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?
