SwiftUI - Layer annotations

This example demonstrates the Mapbox Maps SDK for iOS in a SwiftUI environment to create interactive map annotations. The AnnotationsExample struct includes various components such as flights with multiple airports, polygon annotations, and point annotations. Flight paths are represented by PolylineAnnotation elements, and circular CircleAnnotation elements display airports along the flights. Tapping on these annotations triggers an alert message showing the name of the selected item.

Additionally, the map includes a polygon annotation for the state of Maine and a cluster of point annotations that dynamically adjust based on user interactions. The clusters in the map have customized styles defined by ClusterOptions, controlling the appearance based on the number of annotations present. Users can interact with the map by tapping to add new point annotations and view information about the selected elements.

iOS Examples App Available

This example code is part of the Maps SDK for iOS Examples App, a working iOS project available on Github. iOS developers are encouraged to run the examples app locally to interact with this example in an emulator and explore other features of the Maps SDK.

See our Run the Maps SDK for iOS Examples App tutorial for step-by-step instructions.
