Our test devices running the Dev Beta 1 for iOS 18 no longer recieve updates from the CLMonitor async stream (for try await event in await monitor.events) when the app is in the background and suspended. This works fine in iOS 17. I only have one CLMonitor.CircularGeographicCondition active at any given time, they switch out dynamically in the background based on the user's location. Another thing is that visit tracking and significant location changes continue to work as expected in the background. I have submitted feedback (FB13883553) but I'm curious if this is an undocumented policy change or a bug.

Hi, Please let me know iOS 18 beta have deprecated/ stopped support for which of the following: proximityUUID CLBeaconRegion (instancetype)initWithProximityUUID:(NSUUID *)proximityUUID identifier:(NSString *)identifier (void)startRangingBeaconsInRegion:(CLBeaconRegion *)region -startRangingBeaconsSatisfyingConstraint: , is this also deprecated in iOS 18 beta, since: CLBeaconIdentityConstraint is deprecated right? CLBeaconIdentityCondition is not supported in XCode 15.3. What should I do for this? Should I install XCode 16 beta? locationManager:didRangeBeacons:satisfyingConstraint: can we use it in iOS 18 beta, since, CLBeaconIdentityConstraint is deprecated? what is alternative startMonitoring(for:) is also deprecated in iOS 18 beta right? Also, can someone specify or create a documentation on how beaconing shall be monitored, ranged and locationManager delegate methods pertaining to beaconing to be used in iOS 18 beta?

Hello, I'm very interested in utilizing Place ID with MapKit. Reference: https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2024/10097/ I do have some questions I've been unable to find in documentation or within the demo. Apologies in advance if they have been added since. Are place photos included with the call? It appeared so in the demo just want to make sure as I was unable to confirm in the documentation.) Are star ratings included with the Place ID? Reason: Looking for ways to display top/popular POI around a location. How do rate limits work? Can places be cached? (We're looking to keep saved/bookmarked POI cached to avoid pinging MapKit each time the app is used) How often is place data refreshed? For example if a new restaurant opens in town when will it be available to display. Can search provide place results by name (in and out burger) and by type (burgers in LA)? Would we have to pick one way or the other for search to work in this case? Thanks in advance.

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'm on MacOS 15 Beta and Xcode 16 Beta. Running iOS 18 Beta on a 15 Pro Max. I'm leveraging the .mapItemDetailSheet(item: input) option to pull up a sheet that displays the Place Card for a selection made from a List of places. What I'm seeing is that the first tap fails to pull up the sheet and it auto closes pretty much immediately. But then loads correctly on the second tap. Other times it will not auto close, but simply fail to load the item details in the sheet. Again, though, if I close the sheet and tap a second time it loads without issue. I'm posting to get some feedback as to whether this is most likely caused by bad code (I'm very new to this) or if it is known behavior and due to the Beta software. Any insight from the community would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

I installed the developer beta. I don't see how to show topographic maps.

I'm on MacOS 15 Beta and Xcode 16 Beta. Running iOS 18 Beta on a 15 Pro Max. I'm leveraging the .mapItemDetailSheet(item: input) option to pull up a sheet that displays the Place Card for a selection made from a List of places. This is working great on my iPhone 15 Pro Max and my iPad Pro 13. I also have the Mac Catalyst option added under: Project \ General \ Supported Destinations If I launch the app from Xcode via the play button, the app functions fine on my MacBook Pro and I get logs in Xcode, etc. However, if stop the session in Xcode and attempt to run the same app on its own on my MacBook Pro, the mapItemDetailSheet does not populate with any information. Anyone have ideas on where the disconnect could be? Why would the sheet populate with data when ran from Xcode but not when ran on its own? Again, it runs fine on the iPhone and iPad. Any ideas would be helpful and appreciated.

Stopped updating the location of my family members on June 21st while they can see my location just fine. Restarted, turned on and off sharing, nothing works. any suggestions?

As we know CLCircularRegion, startMonitoring(for:), CLBeaconRegion are deprecated after iOS 18.0 My question is: when will these APIs stop working ? Will it continue to work on iOS 18.1? what about iOS 19?

个别手机在系统iOS17.5.1 开启定位的场景下会出现定位失败。

I am encountering some issues with location services in macOS apps. Despite including the necessary keys in the app’s info.plist, I am unable to request user location permission. Here are the details: Cannot request location permission using requestWhenInUseAuthorization(), ie., no location permission grant permissions popup is appearing. The app contains NSLocationUsageDescription in the info.plist. I have also tested by adding NSLocationAlwaysAndWhenInUseUsageDescription, NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription, and NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription, but it didn't work. So to show the location request popup, I was directly(irrespective of the authorizationStatus) requesting location using requestLocation(), which showed the location permission grant permissions popup. But then I encountered another issue. If the popup is left as it is, every time requestLocation() is called a new location request popup appears (which comes after allowing/denying the popup). Also observed that didChangeAuthorization is only called on allowing/denying the last location request pop up. Initial calls to CLLocationManager().authorizationStatus return Not Determined. When I checked the location permission state of my app on launch, I used to get not Determined for some time, even if the permission was granted. Code snippet: private var locationManager: CLLocationManager { let lm = CLLocationManager() lm.delegate = self lm.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest return lm } private var currentAuthorizationStatus: CLAuthorizationStatus { if #available(macOS 11.0, *) { return CLLocationManager().authorizationStatus } else { return CLLocationManager.authorizationStatus() } } switch currentAuthorizationStatus { case .notDetermined: print("requesting permission") locationManager.requestWhenInUseAuthorization() case .restricted, .denied: print("location permission is restricted") case .authorizedAlways, .authorizedWhenInUse, .authorized: print("requesting location") locationManager.requestLocation() @unknown default: print("Unknown error occurred") } I would appreciate any guidance or suggestions on how to resolve these issues. Thank you!

Hello, As you stated that "MapKit JS provides a free daily limit of 250,000 map views and 25,000 service calls per Apple Developer Program membership." , I have two questions : are user interactions (zooming, panning, and switching theme) included in the billed map views ? is this limits similar for the enterprise account ? if not, please give us more details. Thanks

Hello, There are some countries, with political conflicts on borders, does MapKit JS support displaying the map depending on the point of view of the region ? if yes, how technically is done (like adding an attribute region on request params or something else) ? Thanks

I am working with an app for tracking driving activity. Currently, I have code that combines CLLocationManager location updates with motion data from CMMotionActivityManager. My codebase is not straightforward and requires manual starts/stops, etc. After watching the WWDC session about CLLocationUpdate.liveUpdates (https://developer.apple.com/wwdc23/10180) with the specific LiveConfiguration.automotiveNavigation, I thought it was exactly what I needed. Moreover, the presenter mentioned that it could simplify code and remove the dependency on CMMotionActivityManager. I downloaded the demo project from here https://developer.apple.com/documentation/corelocation/adopting-live-updates-in-core-location, adapted it for iOS 17, and changed CLLocationUpdate.liveUpdates() to CLLocationUpdate.liveUpdates(.automotiveNavigation). However, the result was not what I expected. I received location updates after waking from a stationary state by lightly touching the device, which is not "automotive." Additionally, the changes to LiveConfiguration do not seem to affect the behavior. What did I do wrong? Or what is the point of LiveConfiguration that I missed? Thanks,

Hey, I have a problem. I was using MKMapView in my app, and in the view where I had a background at the top of the screen, in the example it was Color.red, it extended all the way to the top of the screen. Now, I wanted to switch to the newer Map and I'm seeing an issue because I'm getting a navigation bar that cuts off my color as I indicated in the picture. Does anyone know why this is happening and if there's another way to achieve this? Steps to reproduce: Change MapView() to Map() to see difference import SwiftUI import MapKit @main struct TestAppApp: App { var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { ContentView() } } } struct ContentView: View { var body: some View { NavigationStack { ScrollView(.vertical) { Color.red .padding(.top, -200) .frame(height: 200) MapView().frame(minHeight: 300) // change this line to Map } .navigationTitle("Title") .navigationBarTitleDisplayMode(.large) } } } private typealias ViewControllerRepresentable = UIViewControllerRepresentable struct MapView: ViewControllerRepresentable { typealias ViewController = UIViewController class Controller: ViewController { var mapView: MKMapView { guard let tempView = view as? MKMapView else { fatalError("View could not be cast as MapView.") } return tempView } override func loadView() { let mapView = MKMapView() view = mapView } } func makeUIViewController(context: Context) -> Controller { Controller() } func updateUIViewController(_ controller: Controller, context: Context) { update(controller: controller) } func update(controller: Controller) { } } #Preview { ContentView() } I got: I want:

I had a problem that when traveling by boat the GPS dropped working for the boating app after a few seconds. Then I discovered that when picking up the iphone, the GPS information, that was read by the boating app, returned. At first I had the idea that the GPS signals were weak and my body fluids worked as a kind of extra antenna. But then by accident I noticed that the GPS signal returned when there were some waves that caused the boat to move extra. And so it turns out that Apple has apparently built in a security risk feature that when the iphone is not moving (apart from the very slow movement of the boat) it switches GPS off. Probably is this to protect us from being tracked in some way. An adult approach would leave it to the user to decide if this is a risk the user wants to take (so introduce a setting to turn off this security measure). But not so at Apple. I am getting very tired of trying to find ways to get around the unspecified safety measures that are not under control by me, the user. This is NOT a small minor problem. The app that I use is the most used boating app at least in the Netherlands. The developers got thousands of complaints from apple users and in spite of specifying that location services can be used always as specified by the developers the user should do,all these users couldn’t use the app and basically had to buy an Android phone! Actually the developpers were totally in the dark because it had worked properly before. So Is there a work around?? (I am building now a little device to keep my iphone mechanically moving now as a solution but I prefer as software solution!!!!)

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.

Hi , I have following scenario where I feel performance issue. Use-case: I have multiple Overlays(MKOverlay) rendered on MapView, and overlay needs to refresh on point Drag(MKPinAnnotation). I have custom logic to handle drag behaviour of annotation, on annotation drag I do update the overlay. As point update, I create new overlay with updated coordinate and re-render it. iT slow down the performance after few overlay added. Additional Notes: Performance was quite good on iOS16 but on iOS17, it lags the perforce on point drag. When I say it the performance, it point drag lags so it slow the overlay rendering. I am using MKMapView inside SwiftUI. I am sharing code-snippet where it re-render the overlay. Please help with issue in my code implementation. func renderSegments(mapView: MKMapView, segmentPoint: FencePointAnnotation, renderNeeded: Bool = true) { mapViewModel.updateFencePointOrder() guard let activeLayer = mapViewModel.activeLayer else { debugPrint("Invalid active layer.") return } let segments = mapViewModel.activeFence.connectedSegmentsOf(vertex: segmentPoint) // Remove existing overlay. for overlay in mapView.overlays { if let overlay = overlay as? FenceOverlay { if overlay.layerId == activeLayer.layerId { mapView.removeOverlay(overlay) } } else if let overlay = overlay as? FenceSegmentPolyline { if overlay.layerId == activeLayer.layerId { for segment in segments.values where segment.identifier == overlay.identifier { mapView.removeOverlay(overlay) } } } } // When vertex removed the no need to add segment if renderNeeded { if let segments = mapViewModel.updatedSegements(segment: segments.map({$0.key})) { let updatedSegments = mapView.updatedSegmentsWithOffset(segments: segments, layer: activeLayer) mapView.addOverlays(updatedSegments) } } }

We have a pair of apps that are used to monitor the location of a person and allow them to reach out for help when needed. The apps are designed to be used with persons with special needs. A large portion of our target audience is people that have cognitive disabilities. One app is used by people that monitor and help the person with needs, and the other is used by the person with needs who is not with them all the time. The issue we have is that our users have trouble understanding what to do when this verification popup appears. This popup continues to appear over and over and over. This is a severe health and safety issue for us. We find that the user is often times confused by the popup and is disabling the background location tracking preventing the needs provider from being able to track the location of the user. It would be great if there was a special Entitlement that could be granted that would prevent this 'feature' of iOS. Or possibly simply a setting that the user's provider can setup on their phone to stop the annoying and dangerous constant popups. If anybody knows of a way to prevent this popup, please let us know. Otherwise, if someone at Apple could suggest how we can make this happen in the future.

Unrelated from this topic but coming from mapbox where everything had a mapbox_id i feel like some things like localities like "columbus, Ohio" should still have a place id but maybe the muid serves that purpose idk and just something i should account for. Lastly on my mind is how to manage rate limiting since im just giving the same mapbox js token to all the clients. Of course for server api I can manage my own system for rate limiting logged in users a bit easier but not sure about mapkit js though I can only dream my project is big enough i need to even worry about that lol.
