mapkitlisted

Implement, review, or improve maps and location features in iOS/macOS apps using MapKit and CoreLocation. Use when working with Map views, annotations, markers, polylines, user location tracking, geocoding, reverse geocoding, search/autocomplete, directions and routes, geofencing, region monitoring, CLLocationUpdate async streams, or location authorization flows. Also use when working with maps, coordinates, addresses, places, directions, distance calculations, or location-based features in Swift apps.

# MapKit 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](references/mapkit-patterns.md) for extended MapKit patterns and [references/mapkit-corelocation-patterns.md](references/mapkit-corelocation-patterns.md) for CoreLocation patterns. ## Contents - [Workflow](#workflow) - [SwiftUI Map View (iOS 17+)](#swiftui-map-view-ios-17) - [CoreLocation Modern API](#corelocation-modern-api) - [Geocoding](#geocoding) - [Search](#search) - [Directions](#directions) - [PlaceDescriptor (iOS 26+)](#placedescriptor-ios-26) - [Common Mistakes](#common-mistakes) - [Review Checklist](#review-checklist) - [References](#references) ## Workflow ### 1. Add a map with markers or annotations 1. Import `MapKit`. 2. Create a `Map` view with optional `MapCameraPosition` binding. 3. Add `Marker`, `Annotation`, `MapPolyline`, `MapPolygon`, or `MapCircle` inside the `MapContentBuilder` closure. 4. Configure map style with `.mapStyle()`. 5. Add map controls with `.mapControls { }`. 6. Handle selection with a `selection:` binding. ### 2. Track user location 1. Add `NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription` to Info.plist. 2. On iOS 18+, create a `CLServiceSession` to manage authorization. 3. Iterate `CLLocationUpdate.liveUpdates()` in a `Task`. 4. Filter updates by
