mapkit-location
Build map and location features for iOS 17+ using SwiftUI MapKit and modern CoreLocation async APIs.
- Supports SwiftUI
Mapviews with markers, annotations, polylines, polygons, and circles; includes camera positioning, style options, and interaction modes - Provides
CLLocationUpdate.liveUpdates()async stream for location tracking andCLMonitorfor geofencing with up to 20 monitored conditions - Covers geocoding (forward and reverse), local search with autocomplete via
MKLocalSearchCompleter, and directions with ETA calculation across multiple transport types - Includes
CLServiceSessionfor explicit authorization management (iOS 18+) andPlaceDescriptorfor rich place lookups (iOS 26+) - Common mistakes section and review checklist help avoid battery drain, permission issues, and geocoding failures
MapKit and CoreLocation
Build map-based and location-aware features targeting iOS 17+ with SwiftUI
MapKit and modern CoreLocation async APIs. Use Map with MapContentBuilder
for views, CLLocationUpdate.liveUpdates() for streaming location, and
CLMonitor for geofencing.
See references/mapkit-patterns.md for extended MapKit patterns and
references/corelocation-patterns.md for CoreLocation patterns.
