About this book
You'll see how Apple's privacy settings apply to a user's location, and how to access that user's location from an application. Once you have access to the user's location, allow your app to display points of interest from Apple's database on the map inside the app, as well as to provide a search through that database by name.
You can also incorporate turn by turn directions inside your own app to provide routes. Or trigger different functionality or notifications based on locational queues. With Build Location Apps on iOS with Swift, you'll even find out how to provide offline map support for hiking, camping, or other outdoors applications where cell phone service is weak.
What You'll Learn
- Display points of interest within your own app
- Work with Apple's privacy settings so pertinent information comes through
- Trigger functionality based on geographic prompts
- Create your own custom map styles with Mapbox Studio and display them in the app
Who This Book Is For
Intermediate to advanced Swift programmers who would like to add location based services to their apps.
