MKPointAnnotation no longer displays title in iOS 11 - ios

The code that I used in iOS 10 to show an annotation and title, no longer displays the title in iOS 11. In iOS 11, the annotation is selected, but the title no longer displays. Any tips on getting the title to show like it did in iOS 10?
MKPointAnnotation* theAnnotation = [MKPointAnnotation new];
theAnnotation.coordinate = CLLocationCoordinate2DMake( aLocation.latDegrees, aLocation.lonDegrees );
[theAnnotation setTitle:#"Hello world"];
[self.mapView removeAnnotations:self.mapView.annotations];
[self.mapView addAnnotation:theAnnotation];
[self.mapView showAnnotations:#[theAnnotation] animated:NO];
[self.mapView selectAnnotation:theAnnotation animated:YES];

You should implement this delegate method:
- (MKAnnotationView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView viewForAnnotation:(id<MKAnnotation>)annotation
{
static NSString* Identifier = #"PinAnnotationIdentifier";
MKPinAnnotationView* pinView;
pinView = (MKPinAnnotationView *)[mapView dequeueReusableAnnotationViewWithIdentifier:Identifier];
if (pinView == nil) {
pinView = [[MKPinAnnotationView alloc] initWithAnnotation:annotation
reuseIdentifier:Identifier];
pinView.canShowCallout = YES;
return pinView;
}
pinView.annotation = annotation;
return pinView;
}
Result on iOS 11

iOS MapKit MKPointAnnotation add Disclosure Button - Not showing pinpoints

On viewload I am looping over some data and adding point points:
for (id venue in venues) {
MKPointAnnotation *point = [[MKPointAnnotation alloc] init];
point.coordinate = coords here;
point.title = #"title"
point.subtitle = #"sub";
[self.map addAnnotation:point];
}
What I'm trying to do is add a simple disclosure button to the Annotation. I'm using the following:
- (MKAnnotationView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView viewForAnnotation:(id <MKAnnotation>)annotation {
MKAnnotationView *annotationView = [mapView dequeueReusableAnnotationViewWithIdentifier:#"String"];
if(!annotationView) {
annotationView = [[MKAnnotationView alloc] initWithAnnotation:annotation reuseIdentifier:#"String"];
annotationView.rightCalloutAccessoryView = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeDetailDisclosure];
}
annotationView.enabled = YES;
annotationView.canShowCallout = YES;
return annotationView;
}
However after the view loads, the pinpoints are no longer showing. If I remove the viewForAnnotation everything loads in right, however I of course don't have a disclosure button.
What am I doing wrong here?
If you want to add "PIN" to MapView, you should use MKPinAnnotationView, not MKAnnotationView.
- (MKAnnotationView *)mapView:(MKMapView*)mapView
viewForAnnotation:(id <MKAnnotation>)annotation
{
MKPinAnnotationView *annotationView = (MKPinAnnotaionView *)[mapView dequeueReusableAnnotationViewWithIdentifier:#"String"];
if(!annotationView) {
annotationView = [[MKPinAnnotationView alloc] initWithAnnotation:annotation reuseIdentifier:#"String"];
annotationView.rightCalloutAccessoryView = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeDetailDisclosure];
}
}
disclosure button is showing.

MKMapView - user current location blue dot covers the annotations

I am working on maps and when you tap a annotation it shows the title and description.
Problem is one annotation is very close to the user's current location so i can't see the title of that annotation because its not tapeable. When i try to tap the annotation nothing happens.
- (MKAnnotationView *) mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView
viewForAnnotation:(id <MKAnnotation>) annotation {
if ([annotation isKindOfClass:[MKUserLocation class]]) {
//Don't trample the user location annotation (pulsing blue dot).
return nil;
}
MKPinAnnotationView *pinView = (MKPinAnnotationView *)[mapView dequeueReusableAnnotationViewWithIdentifier:#"pin"];
pinView.animatesDrop = YES;
pinView.canShowCallout = YES;
if (pinView == nil)
pinView = [[MKPinAnnotationView alloc] initWithAnnotation:annotation reuseIdentifier:#"pin"];
if([[pinView.annotation title] isEqualToString:#"Store"])
{
pinView.pinColor = MKPinAnnotationColorGreen;
}
return pinView;
}
Is there anyway i can bring the annotation front that blue dot that shows current location?
So i moved
pinView.canShowCallout = YES;
in the last before returning the pinView and it worked.

iOS Mapkit - Annotations disappear on map scroll/zoom

On initial load, the annotations show just fine. But if I scroll the map, they all disappear and the code is only called for the user location, not the other annotations in the viewForAnnotation delegate method.
Plot Pins
-(void)viewDidLoad{
...Download Coordinates and Data from Web here...
[self.mapView addAnnotation:pin];
}
Delegate Method
- (MKAnnotationView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView viewForAnnotation:(id <MKAnnotation>)annotation
{
//Player's Pin
if([annotation class] == MKUserLocation.class) {
return nil;
}
//Cluster Pin
if([annotation isKindOfClass:[REVClusterPin class]]){
REVClusterPin *pin = (REVClusterPin *)annotation;
if( [pin nodeCount] > 0 ){
pin.title = #"___";
MKAnnotationView *annotationView = (REVClusterAnnotationView*)[mapView dequeueReusableAnnotationViewWithIdentifier:#"cluster"];
if( !annotationView ){
annotationView = (REVClusterAnnotationView*)
[[REVClusterAnnotationView alloc] initWithAnnotation:annotation reuseIdentifier:#"cluster"];
}
annotationView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"cluster.png"];
[(REVClusterAnnotationView*)annotationView setClusterText:
[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%i",[pin nodeCount]]];
annotationView.canShowCallout = NO;
return annotationView;
}
}
//Player Pin
if([annotation isKindOfClass:[ZEPointAnnotation class]]){
ZEPointAnnotation *pin = (ZEPointAnnotation *)annotation;
MKAnnotationView *annotationView = [mapView dequeueReusableAnnotationViewWithIdentifier:#"pin"];
if(!annotationView){
annotationView = [[MKAnnotationView alloc] initWithAnnotation:annotation reuseIdentifier:#"pin"];
}
annotationView.canShowCallout = YES;
annotationView.draggable = NO;
...Create Pin Data Here...
return annotationView;
}
return nil;
}
remove animations. that will solve your problem

How to change marker icon?

I was wonderring if there is a way to change those red pins that are used as markers. And if there is a way, how to do it?
you can use 3 types of color pins in mapView are bellow..
MKPinAnnotationColorGreen;
MKPinAnnotationColorPurple
MKPinAnnotationColorRed
and if you want to add customview or image then you can add with programatically
also you can change pin in delegate method of MKMapView like bellow..
- (MKAnnotationView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)_mapView viewForAnnotation:(id <MKAnnotation>)annotation
{
MKPinAnnotationView *pinView = (MKPinAnnotationView *)[_mapView dequeueReusableAnnotationViewWithIdentifier:defaultPinID];
pinView = [[[MKPinAnnotationView alloc] initWithAnnotation:annotation reuseIdentifier:defaultPinID] autorelease];
if (annotation == _mapView.userLocation)
{
// pinView.pinColor = MKPinAnnotationColorRed;
// return pinView;
return nil;
}
pinView.pinColor = MKPinAnnotationColorGreen; // you can use MKPinAnnotationColorPurple, MKPinAnnotationColorRed;
pinView.canShowCallout = YES;
pinView.animatesDrop = NO;
return pinView;
}
and for custom image or pin, use bellow code..
- (MKAnnotationView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)_mapView viewForAnnotation:(id <MKAnnotation>)annotation
{
static NSString *AnnotationViewID = #"annotationViewID";
MKAnnotationView *annotationView = (MKAnnotationView *)[_mapView dequeueReusableAnnotationViewWithIdentifier:AnnotationViewID];
if (annotationView == nil)
{
annotationView = [[[MKAnnotationView alloc] initWithAnnotation:annotation reuseIdentifier:AnnotationViewID] autorelease];
}
annotationView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"yourImageName"];//add any image which you want to show on map instead of red pins
annotationView.annotation = annotation;
return annotationView;
}

mapkit show annotation by default

I have an annotation showing in mapkit with a custom image, showing fine,
but the annotation shows after taping the pin,
how can I have the annotation showing by default?, when I start the view? whit out tapping the pin.
- (MKAnnotationView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)mv viewForAnnotation:(id <MKAnnotation>)annotation
{
if([annotation isKindOfClass:[MKUserLocation class]])
return nil;
NSString *annotationIdentifier = #"PinViewAnnotation";
MKPinAnnotationView *pinView = (MKPinAnnotationView *) [mapView
dequeueReusableAnnotationViewWithIdentifier:annotationIdentifier];
if (!pinView)
{
pinView = [[[MKPinAnnotationView alloc]
initWithAnnotation:annotation
reuseIdentifier:annotationIdentifier] autorelease];
[pinView setPinColor:MKPinAnnotationColorGreen];
pinView.animatesDrop = YES;
pinView.canShowCallout = YES;
UIImageView *houseIconView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"tijereta.png"]];
pinView.leftCalloutAccessoryView = houseIconView;
[houseIconView release];
}
else
{
pinView.annotation = annotation;
}
return pinView;
}
thanks
you can use this
[mapView selectAnnotation:pinView animated:YES]; //here pinView is your annotation and mapview is your map
hope that helped
