In the session titled "Unlock the power of places with MapKit" at WWDC 2024, several new features were introduced for MapKit in SwiftUI. These include:
-
Place Identifiers: A new identifier for places, allowing developers to reference places represented by map items in MapKit.
-
Place Detail API: This API can be used to present a place card, even if your app doesn't feature a map view. It is available for UIKit, AppKit, and SwiftUI, providing flexibility in how place information is displayed.
-
Selection Accessory APIs: These APIs allow developers to show place information directly on the map, enhancing the user experience by providing detailed place information.
-
Embeds: A low-code solution to add maps to websites, which can be particularly useful for displaying single place data.
These enhancements make it easier to integrate rich place data into apps and websites, providing users with detailed and interactive map experiences.
For more detailed information, you can refer to the session Unlock the power of places with MapKit (06:12) which covers displaying place details.
