Map Zooms Back Out after releasing on Zoom-in - ios

I have MapView that shows two points on a map with a route. When I zoom into the map, after I release, the map zooms back out.
I have zoomEnabled and scrollEnabled all set to yes in Code and on the InterfaceBuilder

The problem is that you are setting the map's visible region by calling showAnnotations. This conflicts with the user zooming.

Obj-C - All Custom MKMapView annotations not always showing on MapView?

I'm trying to display multiple arrays of locations on my mapView with the below code (Restaurants, Parks, Meet Ups & Stores). When I open the app, not all addresses inside the arrays are displayed on my mapView (even though all data is returned) - e.g. sometimes only 'Stores' and 'Parks' arrays of annotations will show up on my map, but Restaurants aren't visible (even though data for all arrays is returned successfully). If I close out and reopen the app, sometimes Parks will show on the map, but nothing else. Any idea why this happens, and how I can fix it? Code updated below. Been at this forever!
Note: ParksAnnotation, RestAnnotation, meetupAnn, & StoreAnnotation are all MKPointAnnotation classes.
UPDATE (10/13/2020): I tried logging 'placemarks' under the block of code that retrieves and geocodes my 'Stores' coordinates. It appears as though self.storeData is populated, as is the created NSDictionary storeFields. That said, when I log 'placemarks', it isn't returning any coordinates, even though storeFields[#"address"] is populated. The other blocks of code seem to be doing their job just fine (ie. retrieving Meet Ups and retrieving Parks). So Meet Ups, Restaurants and Parks annotations appear fine, but all Stores annotations aren't populated. This happens to at least one type of annotation (sometimes it's Stores that's missing, other times it's Parks) at random when I launch the app. I can't for the life of me sort out why this is happening.
See below code:
MapViewController.m
#import "StoreAnnotation.h"

As Ramis said, the problem is that you're setting the displayPriority before you even instantiate the pulsingView. Thus, the MKAnnotationView you subsequently instantiate never got its displayPriority set.
That having been said, I'd suggest a slightly different implementation, though. Specifically, I'd move the configuration of the annotation view into its own subclass, rather than cluttering the view controller with this sort of code:
#interface MeetUpAnnotationView: MKAnnotationView
#end
#implementation MeetUpAnnotationView
- (instancetype)initWithAnnotation:(id<MKAnnotation>)annotation reuseIdentifier:(NSString *)reuseIdentifier {
self = [super initWithAnnotation:annotation reuseIdentifier:reuseIdentifier];
if (self) {
self.displayPriority = MKFeatureDisplayPriorityRequired;
self.canShowCallout = YES;
self.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"meetupbeacon.png"];
}
return self;
}
- (void)setAnnotation:(id<MKAnnotation>)annotation {
[super setAnnotation:annotation];
self.displayPriority = MKFeatureDisplayPriorityRequired;
}
#end
Then, if targeting iOS 11 or later, your view controller's viewDidLoad should register that subclass.
Now, if this is the only annotation view that you’re showing in iOS 11, you don't need a viewForAnnotation at all and can just register your default annotation view:
[self.mapView registerClass:[MeetUpAnnotationView class] forAnnotationViewWithReuseIdentifier:MKMapViewDefaultAnnotationViewReuseIdentifier];
And having registered the annotation view class, you're done. No viewForAnnotation is needed or desired.
The only time you have to implement viewForAnnotation in iOS 11 and later is if you have multiple custom annotation view types on your map. In that case, you'd register them:
[self.mapView registerClass:[MeetUpAnnotationView class] forAnnotationViewWithReuseIdentifier:meetupIdentifier];
[self.mapView registerClass:[SomeOtherAnnotationView class] forAnnotationViewWithReuseIdentifier:someOtherIdentifier];
And then use dequeueReusableAnnotationViewWithIdentifier:forAnnotation: in your viewForAnnotation:
- (MKAnnotationView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView viewForAnnotation:(id<MKAnnotation>)annotation {
if ([annotation isKindOfClass:[MeetupAnn class]]) {
return [mapView dequeueReusableAnnotationViewWithIdentifier:meetupIdentifier forAnnotation:annotation];
}
if ([annotation isKindOfClass:[SomeOtherAnnotation class]]) {
return [mapView dequeueReusableAnnotationViewWithIdentifier:someOtherIdentifier forAnnotation:annotation];
}
...
return nil;
}
As you can see, in iOS 11 (especially when you have only one annotation view type), the code is greatly simplified.
But if you need to support older iOS versions, you can't register the identifier and you have to use the older dequeueReusableAnnotationViewWithIdentifier:, but I'd still let the annotation view subclass take care of configuring itself. But, a more subtle problem in your code is that you are not setting the annotation in an else clause, so make sure to do that, e.g.:
- (MKAnnotationView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView viewForAnnotation:(id<MKAnnotation>)annotation {
if ([annotation isKindOfClass:[MeetupAnn class]]) {
MKAnnotationView *annotationView = [mapView dequeueReusableAnnotationViewWithIdentifier:meetupIdentifier];
if (!annotationView) {
annotationView = [[MeetUpAnnotationView alloc] initWithAnnotation:annotation reuseIdentifier:meetupIdentifier];
} else {
annotationView.annotation = annotation;
}
return annotationView;
}
return nil;
}
You should check if some of your geocoding requests are failing inconsistently.
CLGeocoder rate limits your requests and if you do too many requests in a short time, you'll receive an error. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/corelocation/clgeocoder/1423509-geocodeaddressstring?language=objc
Check if you are getting any reason for failure inside NSError* error inside the completionHandler block.
As many times as it fails, you should see as many less number of annotations on the MapView because it is not entering the following code path.
if (placemarks && placemarks.count > 0) {
// Not entering here
}
if (nil != error) {
// Could land here
}
The only other reason would be not properly calculating map region to show all annotations in screen. Make sure you are calculating/adjusting the region correctly upon each annotation being added to the mapView.
// Define these variables globally in the view controller
CLLocationDegrees minLatitude = 90.0;
CLLocationDegrees maxLatitude = -90.0;
CLLocationDegrees minLongitude = 180.0;
CLLocationDegrees maxLongitude = -180.0;
// Call following method every time a new annotation needs to be added to the mapView
-(void)addAnnotation:(id<MKAnnotation>)annotation toMapView:(MKMapView*)mapView {
// Add the annotation to map
[mapView addAnnotation:annotation];
// Set the map region to make it visible along with all other annotations
CLLocationDegrees latitude = annotation.coordinate.latitude;
CLLocationDegrees longitude = annotation.coordinate.longitude;
minLatitude = min(minLatitude, latitude);
maxLatitude = max(maxLatitude, latitude);
minLongitude = min(minLongitude, longitude);
maxLongitude = max(maxLongitude, longitude);
CLLocationDegrees latitudeDelta = (maxLatitude - minLatitude);
CLLocationDegrees longitudeDelta = (maxLongitude - minLongitude);
CLLocationDegrees midLatitude = (maxLatitude - latitudeDelta/2);
CLLocationDegrees midLongitude = (maxLongitude - longitudeDelta/2);
CLLocationCoordinate2D center = CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(midLatitude, midLongitude);
MKCoordinateSpan span = MKCoordinateSpanMake(latitudeDelta, longitudeDelta);
MKCoordinateRegion region = MKCoordinateRegionMake(center, span);
if (CLLocationCoordinate2DIsValid(center)) {
[mapView setRegion:region animated:YES];
}
}
You are assigning MKFeatureDisplayPriorityRequired to empty object. Try to assign display priority in two case:
When pulsingView is not nil.
After pulsingView allocated.
if([annotation isKindOfClass:[meetupAnn class]]) {
static NSString *identifier = #"currentLocation";
MKAnnotationView *pulsingView = (MKAnnotationView *)[self.friendsMapView dequeueReusableAnnotationViewWithIdentifier:identifier];
if(pulsingView == nil) {
pulsingView = [[MKAnnotationView alloc] initWithAnnotation:annotation reuseIdentifier:identifier];
pulsingView.displayPriority = MKFeatureDisplayPriorityRequired;
pulsingView.canShowCallout = YES;
pulsingView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"meetupbeacon.png"];
NSLog(#"Location Returned");
} else {
pulsingView.displayPriority = MKFeatureDisplayPriorityRequired;
// TODO: Do map pin initial setup.
}
}

I am stuck with a problem on the mapView. I am really sorry to ask this question but I have searched for almost one day to look into this issue but I don't find a solution to fix it.

The problem is you are adding marker in MKLocalSearchCompletionHandler, so remove below line from MKLocalSearchCompletionHandler will solved your issue.
[self.mapView addAnnotation:item.placemark];
You can remove all annotation pins from MKMapView by using following code
for (int i =0; i < [_mapView.annotations count]; i++) {
if ([[_mapView.annotations objectAtIndex:i] isKindOfClass:[YOURANNOTATIONCLASS class]]) {
[_mapView removeAnnotation:[_mapView.annotations objectAtIndex:i]];
}
}
If you want to remove Annotation while search then remove bellow code in textFieldShouldReturn method.
Find method:
- (BOOL)textFieldShouldReturn:(UITextField *)textField {
}
Then Comment or Remove bellow code
MKLocalSearchRequest *request = [[MKLocalSearchRequest alloc] init];
request.naturalLanguageQuery = textField.text;
request.region = newRegion;
MKLocalSearch *localSearch = [[MKLocalSearch alloc] initWithRequest:request];
MKLocalSearchCompletionHandler completionHandler = ^(MKLocalSearchResponse *response, NSError *error) {

MKDirections not showing route on map in iOS

I am working on one app, I need to show route directions between two coordinates. I have used MKDirections and have passed two coordinates as source and destination, however on mapView its not showing any route or drawing any polyline. Below is my code. In MKDirections its always showing nil. Please let me know what I am doing wrong.

Mostly this error occur if [_mapView setRegion:region] area and polyline route path are not on same region(both should need to display on same screen).
In my case I was searching for USA route path while my region was India. So it wont call to -(MKOverlayRenderer *)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView rendererForOverlay:(id)overlay; function.
add this method
-(MKOverlayRenderer *)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView rendererForOverlay:(id<MKOverlay>)overlay {
MKPolylineRenderer * routeLineRenderer = [[MKPolylineRenderer alloc] initWithPolyline:overlay];
routeLineRenderer.strokeColor = [UIColor blueColor];
routeLineRenderer.lineWidth = 4;
return routeLineRenderer;
}

didUpdateToLocation is never called

I want to pass information about the location of the user to another function which uses it. The delegate class MyLocation is a singleton which stores this information.
But in my code the didUpdateToLocation never gets called . Should n't it be called at least once whenever startUpdatingLocation is called even if the device is stationary?
I did check if locationmanager.location.coordinate.latitude and locationmanager.location.coordinate.longitude have the right values and they do. The location services are enabled and the user permission to access location services is also granted. I am still building for iOS 5. None of the previously given solutions seem to work for me!
Can someone please give me some idea as to why it is not working?
The code is as follows:

Draw polyline in mapview iOS 6

Hi I'm doing an app that must to show a map with the route. I parsed a Json to obtain the points to draw the polyline. I found a a code in the web to draw this polyline. The code I found it's on this link: http://iosguy.com/2012/05/22/tracing-routes-with-mapkit/
Where it says "Create the MKPolyline annotation" I tried to import this in my app, but I'm having problems to create the array of the coordinates. My method is this:
- (void)createMKpolylineAnnotation {
NSInteger numberOfSteps = self.path.count;
CLLocationCoordinate2D *coords = malloc(sizeof(CLLocationCoordinate2D) * numberOfSteps);
for (NSInteger index = 0; index < numberOfSteps; index++) {
CLLocation *location = [self.path objectAtIndex:index];
CLLocationCoordinate2D coordinate = location.coordinate;
coords[index] = coordinate;
}
MKPolyline *polyLine = [MKPolyline polylineWithCoordinates:coords count:numberOfSteps];
[self.mapView addOverlay:polyLine];
}
When I try to look the value of coords is setted only the first time, why's that?
Can you help me to solve this problem or i should make in another mode?
I post here the code of the view controller that handle the map view.

I used the AppDelegate to have the Json (I parsed it in another class)
Here is a tutorial how to add a polyline to a mapView. Hope this helps!
EDIT:
Unfortunately, the link provided above is now broken, and I am not able to find the tutorial referred to.
simple, just copy and paste my code and modify some variables
