I would like to know if there is a underlying technical reason why the Snapshotter can't return an image while in the background or if because the Snapshotter was created before the Apple Watch this issue was never considered. What I am doing with the Snapshotter isn't far of what the WKInterfaceMap does to display its map. I understand that returning a map image while an iOS app is idle is redundent however with the Apple Watch it makes sense to be able to retrieve a map. I originally tested a WKInterfaceMap however opted for the MKMapSnapshotter as it allowed for more flexibility. but only if the iOS App is running in the foreground.Īs stated in the documentation the MKMapSnapshotter will only return the image if the app is running in the Foreground, making the map feature in my app rather useless when the user has there phone in there pocket.
MAP SNAPSHOT OFF CODE
I therefore moved the snapshot code into the main app and simply requested the Snapshot using the Watch Connectivity Framework which works. The issue is that now Apple Watch apps are native, the MapKit framework is off limits (With good reason). Notify your system administrator if characters are missing in the map image. A PNG image of the current map is displayed in a separate browser window or tab. The Democracy Maps track state election laws and policies and create a detailed roadmap of how states can optimize civic engagement and protect the security. The map is created using a MKMapSnappshotter to create a UIImage onto which I add some overlays showing the users position and a poly line of where they have been. If enabled, the Take snapshot tool allows you to create an image of the currently displayed map once the report has been run as HTML.
90: Created and mapped a polygon object on. 62: I initialized map state with the Google Maps data. 35: Here I imported the Google Maps API key. 34: I imported the html2canvas library to generate a canvas from a DOM element. I have a feature in the app that allows the user to see a map of there surrounding area. 22: Snapshot data rendered as an image (base64) 33: I imported the loadGoogleMapsApi library to make the GMaps functional. If you don’t want to use Snap Map at all, select Ghost Mode. I currently have a Watch app on the App Store, The app is an activity tracker for Cycling & Running. Select the setting you think best suits your situation. I would use a Support ticket however they are not allowed for Pre Release software, therefore I am here. I know that this is slightly unorthodox, as is is less of a community question and more of a hope that an apple engineer might see this.
