HEREMaps with SwiftUI crashes with EXC_BAD_INSTRUCTION upon instantiation - swiftui

I'm attempting to use HEREMaps with SwiftUI via UIViewRepresentable and I'm getting the following crash when instantiating NMAMapView. Using HEREMaps version 3.13.3 pod.
Thread 1: EXC_BAD_INSTRUCTION (code=EXC_I386_INVOP, subcode=0x0)
import SwiftUI
import NMAKit
struct MapView: UIViewRepresentable {
func makeUIView(context: Context) -> NMAMapView {
let mapView = NMAMapView()
return mapView
}
func updateUIView(_ uiView: NMAMapView, context: Context) {
}
}
struct ContentView: View {
var body: some View {
MapView()
}
}
struct ContentView_Previews: PreviewProvider {
static var previews: some View {
ContentView()
}
}
Also, no luck with adding NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription to my Inof.plist

We have written down a sample code to initialise the NMAPView. Try with the following
import UIKit
import NMAKit
class ViewController: UIViewController {
#IBOutlet weak var mapView: NMAMapView!
private var gestureMarker: NMAMapMarker?
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
//set current controller to be delegate of map view's gesture
mapView.gestureDelegate = self
//add image icon to show current positon, which can shows map view motion when gestures were applied
guard let image = UIImage(named: "indicator") else { return }
let indicatorMarker = NMAMapMarker(geoCoordinates: mapView.geoCenter, image: image)
mapView.add(mapObject: indicatorMarker)
}

This is HERE SDK issue. Unfortunately no workarounds found yet.
Fix will be included in next HERE SDK Release(3.15), which is planned on April 1, 2020.
Thanks for reporting!

Navigate from one embedded UIViewController in swiftUI to another embedded UIViewcontroller in swift UI

I have a UIViewController which is embedded in swiftUI View
struct ContentView_Previews: PreviewProvider {
static var previews: some View {
ContentView(overlayShow: OverlayShow())
}
}
struct OnboardingWrapper: UIViewControllerRepresentable {
var overlayShow: OverlayShow
func makeUIViewController(context: Context) -> ReturnSomthing {
let controller = ReturnSomthing(shareConfig: onboardingConfig)
controller.showOverlay = overlayShow
return controller
}
func updateUIViewController(_ uiViewController: ReturnSomthing, context: Context) {
}
public typealias UIViewControllerType = ReturnSomthing
}
I want to be able to Navigate directly from SwiftUI to another SwiftUI view with embedded UIViewController
SO, I did on a view of SwiftUI
struct ContentView: View {
#ObservedObject var overlayShow: OverlayShow = OverlayShow()
var body: some View {
NavigationView {
NavigationLink(destination: OverlayView(overlay: LoadingUnknownOverlayViewContainer(description: "it is spinning :0", designModel: LoadingOverlayDesignModel(type: .unknown))), isActive: $overlayShow.isShowingOverlay) {
OnboardingWrapper(overlayShow: overlayShow)
}
}
}
}
the condition for navigation to be active is the overlayShow.isShowingOverlay is true. this variable is controlled in UIViewController with an ObservableObject.
the problem is that no matter the value of overlayShow.isShowingOverlay wherever I tap the first UIViewController which is OnboardingWrapper the navigation is activated and goes to the next page.
To be more clear I post a screen recording.
Please how can I solve this problem.
It sounds like you are seeing OnboardingWrapper and when you click on it, you are seeing OverlayView.
Perhaps this would help:
var body: some View {
NavigationView {
OnboardingWrapper(overlayShow: overlayShow)
NavigationLink(destination: OverlayView(
overlay:LoadingUnknownOverlayViewContainer(
description: "it is spinning :0",
designModel: LoadingOverlayDesignModel(type: .unknown))),
isActive: $overlayShow.isShowingOverlay) {
EmptyView()
}
}
}
OnboardingWrapper will appear, then when overlayShow.isShowingOverlay is true, the OverlayView should be presented.

How to add a customized InfoWindow to markers in google-maps swift ui?

i tried to make a view like bellow in SwiftUi without any success Customized info window swift ui
Since this question doesn't have too much detail, I will be going off of some assumptions. First, I am assuming that you are calling the MapView through a UIViewControllerRepresentable.
I am not too familiar with the Google Maps SDK, but this is possible through the GMSMapViewDelegate Methods. After implementing the proper GMSMapViewDelegate method, you can use ZStacks to present the image that you would like to show.
For example:
struct MapView: UIViewControllerRepresentable {
var parentView: ContentView
func makeUIViewController(context: Context) {
let mapView = GMSMapView()
return mapView
}
func updateUIViewController(_ uiViewController: GMSMapView, context: Context) {
}
func makeCoordinator() -> Coordinator {
return Coordinator(self)
}
class Coordinator: NSObject, GMSMapViewDelegate {
var parent: MapView
init(_ parent: MapView) {
self.parent = parent
}
//Use the proper Google Maps Delegate method to find out if a marker was tapped and then show the image by doing: parent.parentView.isShowingInformationImage = true.
}
}
In your SwiftUI view that you would like to put this MapView in, you can do the following:
struct ContentView: View {
#State var isShowingInformationImage = false
var body: some View {
ZStack {
if isShowingInformationImage {
//Call the View containing the image
}
MapView(parentView: self)
}
}
}

Mapbox + SwiftUI: UI Refresh not propagating

I have integrated Mapbox with SwiftUI using the following example:
https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-maps-swiftui-demo
It works fine. However when trying to display other #State variables on the View Stack, the UI Refresh propagation stops going down to the Mapbox call updateUIView()
For example, you can replicate the problem by replacing ContentView.swift from the above repository with the following code:
import SwiftUI
import Mapbox
struct ContentView: View {
#State var annotations: [MGLPointAnnotation] = [
MGLPointAnnotation(title: "Mapbox", coordinate: .init(latitude: 37.791434, longitude: -122.396267))
]
var body: some View {
ZStack {
VStack {
MapView(annotations: $annotations).centerCoordinate(.init(latitude: 37.791293, longitude: -122.396324)).zoomLevel(16)
Button(action: {
let rand = Float.random(in: 37.79...37.80)
self.annotations.append(MGLPointAnnotation(title: "Mapbox", coordinate: .init(latitude: CLLocationDegrees(rand), longitude: -122.396261)))
}) {
Text("Button")
Text("\(self.annotations.count)")
}
}
}
}
}
struct ContentView_Previews: PreviewProvider {
static var previews: some View {
ContentView()
}
}
Running the above code indicates that the Text("\(self.annotations.count)") UI gets updated - however, the annotations are not refreshed (hence updateUIView() is not called).
If I comment // Text("\(self.annotations.count)") then annotations are refreshed (and updateUIView() is called)
Does anybody have any ideas of what might be the issue? Or am I missing something here?
Thanks!
Answering my own question here thanks to this post
https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-maps-swiftui-demo/issues/3#issuecomment-623905509
In order for this to work it is necessary to update the UIView being rendered inside Mapview:
func updateUIView(_ uiView: MGLMapView, context: Context) {
updateAnnotations(uiView)
trackUser()
}
private func updateAnnotations(_ view: MGLMapView) {
if let currentAnnotations = view.annotations {
view.removeAnnotations(currentAnnotations)
}
view.addAnnotations(annotations)
}

UIViewRepresentable: "Modifying state during view update, this will cause undefined behavior"

I have made a simple UIViewRepresentable from MKMapView. You can scroll the mapview, and the screen will be updated with the coordinates in the middle.
Here's the ContentView:
import SwiftUI
import CoreLocation
let london = CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: 51.50722, longitude: -0.1275)
struct ContentView: View {
#State private var center = london
var body: some View {
VStack {
MapView(center: self.$center)
HStack {
VStack {
Text(String(format: "Lat: %.4f", self.center.latitude))
Text(String(format: "Long: %.4f", self.center.longitude))
}
Spacer()
Button("Reset") {
self.center = london
}
}.padding(.horizontal)
}
}
}
Here's the MapView:
struct MapView: UIViewRepresentable {
#Binding var center: CLLocationCoordinate2D
func makeUIView(context: Context) -> MKMapView {
let mapView = MKMapView()
mapView.delegate = context.coordinator
return mapView
}
func updateUIView(_ uiView: MKMapView, context: Context) {
uiView.centerCoordinate = self.center
}
func makeCoordinator() -> Coordinator {
Coordinator(self)
}
class Coordinator: NSObject, MKMapViewDelegate {
var parent: MapView
func mapViewDidChangeVisibleRegion(_ mapView: MKMapView) {
parent.center = mapView.centerCoordinate
}
init(_ parent: MapView) {
self.parent = parent
}
}
}
Tapping the reset button should simply set mapView.center to london. The current method will make the map scrolling super slow, and when the button is tapped, cause the error "Modifying state during view update, this will cause undefined behavior."
How should resetting the coordinates be communicated to the MKMapView, such that the map scrolling is fast again, and the error is fixed?
The above solution with an ObservedObject will not work. While you wont see the warning message anymore, the problem is still occurring. Xcode just isn't able to warn you its happening anymore.
Published properties in ObservableObjects behave almost identically to #State and #Binding. That is, they trigger a view update any time their objectWillUpdate publisher is triggered. This happens automatically when an #Published property is updated. You can also trigger it manually yourself with objectWillChange.send()
Because of this, it is possible to make properties that do not automatically cause view state to update. And we can leverage this to prevent unwanted state updates for UIViewRepresentable and UIViewControllerRepresentable structs.
Here is an implementation that will not loop when you update its view model from the MKMapViewDelegate methods:
struct MapView: UIViewRepresentable {
#ObservedObject var viewModel: Self.ViewModel
func makeUIView(context: Context) -> MKMapView{
let mapview = MKMapView()
mapview.delegate = context.coordinator
return mapview
}
func updateUIView(_ uiView: MKMapView, context: Context) {
// Stop update loop when delegate methods update state.
guard viewModel.shouldUpdateView else {
viewModel.shouldUpdateView = true
return
}
uiView.centerCoordinate = viewModel.centralCoordinate
}
func makeCoordinator() -> Coordinator {
Coordinator(self)
}
class Coordinator: NSObject, MKMapViewDelegate {
private var parent: MapView
init(_ parent: MapView) {
self.parent = parent
}
func mapViewDidChangeVisibleRegion(_ mapView: MKMapView){
// Prevent the below viewModel update from calling itself endlessly.
parent.viewModel.shouldUpdateView = false
parent.viewModel.centralCoordinate = mapView.centerCoordinate
}
}
class ViewModel: ObservableObject {
#Published var centerCoordinate: CLLocationCoordinate2D = .init(latitude: 0, longitude: 0)
var shouldUpdateView: Bool = true
}
}
If you really dont want to use an ObservableObject, the alternative is to put the shouldUpdateView property into your coordinator. Although I still prefer to use a viewModel because it keeps your UIViewRepresentable free of multiple #Bindings. You can also use the ViewModel externally and listen to it via combine.
Honestly, I'm surprised apple didn't consider this exact issue when they created UIViewRepresentable.
Almost all UIKit views will have this exact problem if you need to keep your SwiftUI state in sync with view changes.

SwiftUI: How to properly present AVPlayerViewController modally?

Proper UIKit Approach:
According to Apple's WWDC 2019 talk on the subject, AVPlayerViewController should be presented modally to take advantage of all the latest full-screen features of the API. This is the recommended sample code to be called from your presenting UIKit view controller:
// Create the player
let player = AVPlayer(url: videoURL)
// Create the player view controller and associate the player
let playerViewController = AVPlayerViewController()
playerViewController.player = player
// Present the player view controller modally
present(playerViewController, animated: true)
This works as expected and launches the video in beautiful full-screen.
Achieve the Same Effect with SwiftUI?:
In order to use the AVPlayerViewController from SwiftUI, I created the UIViewControllerRepresentable implementation:
struct AVPlayerView: UIViewControllerRepresentable {
#Binding var videoURL: URL
private var player: AVPlayer {
return AVPlayer(url: videoURL)
}
func updateUIViewController(_ playerController: AVPlayerViewController, context: Context) {
playerController.player = player
playerController.player?.play()
}
func makeUIViewController(context: Context) -> AVPlayerViewController {
return AVPlayerViewController()
}
}
I cannot seem to figure out how to present this directly from SwiftUI
in the same way as the AVPlayerViewController is presented directly
from UIKit. My goal is simply to get all of the default, full-screen benefits.
So far, the following has not worked:
If I use a .sheet modifier and present it from within the sheet, then the player is embedded in a sheet and not presented full-screen.
I have also tried to create a custom, empty view controller in UIKit that simply presents my AVPlayerViewController modally from the viewDidAppear method. This gets the player to take on the full screen, but it also shows an empty view controller prior to display the video, which I do not want the user to see.
Any thoughts would be much appreciated!
Just a thought if you like to fullscreen similar like UIKit, did you try the following code from ContentView.
import SwiftUI
import UIKit
import AVKit
struct ContentView: View {
let toPresent = UIHostingController(rootView: AnyView(EmptyView()))
#State private var vURL = URL(string: "https://www.radiantmediaplayer.com/media/bbb-360p.mp4")
var body: some View {
AVPlayerView(videoURL: self.$vURL).transition(.move(edge: .bottom)).edgesIgnoringSafeArea(.all)
}
}
struct ContentView_Previews: PreviewProvider {
static var previews: some View {
ContentView()
}
}
struct AVPlayerView: UIViewControllerRepresentable {
#Binding var videoURL: URL?
private var player: AVPlayer {
return AVPlayer(url: videoURL!)
}
func updateUIViewController(_ playerController: AVPlayerViewController, context: Context) {
playerController.modalPresentationStyle = .fullScreen
playerController.player = player
playerController.player?.play()
}
func makeUIViewController(context: Context) -> AVPlayerViewController {
return AVPlayerViewController()
}
}
The solution explained by Razib-Mollick was a good start for me, but it was missing the use of the SwiftUI .sheet() method. I have added this by adding the following to ContentView:
#State private var showVideoPlayer = false
var body: some View {
Button(action: { self.showVideoPlayer = true }) {
Text("Start video")
}
.sheet(isPresented: $showVideoPlayer) {
AVPlayerView(videoURL: self.$vURL)
.edgesIgnoringSafeArea(.all)
}
}
But the problem is then, that the AVPlayer is instantiated again and again when SwiftUI re-renders the UI.
Therefore the state of the AVPlayer has to move to a class object stored in the environment, so we can get hold of it from the View struct. So my latest solution looks now as follows. I hope it helps somebody else.
class PlayerState: ObservableObject {
public var currentPlayer: AVPlayer?
private var videoUrl : URL?
public func player(for url: URL) -> AVPlayer {
if let player = currentPlayer, url == videoUrl {
return player
}
currentPlayer = AVPlayer(url: url)
videoUrl = url
return currentPlayer!
}
}
struct ContentView: View {
#EnvironmentObject var playerState : PlayerState
#State private var vURL = URL(string: "https://www.radiantmediaplayer.com/media/bbb-360p.mp4")
#State private var showVideoPlayer = false
var body: some View {
Button(action: { self.showVideoPlayer = true }) {
Text("Start video")
}
.sheet(isPresented: $showVideoPlayer, onDismiss: { self.playerState.currentPlayer?.pause() }) {
AVPlayerView(videoURL: self.$vURL)
.edgesIgnoringSafeArea(.all)
.environmentObject(self.playerState)
}
}
}
struct ContentView_Previews: PreviewProvider {
static var previews: some View {
ContentView()
.environmentObject(PlayerState())
}
}
struct AVPlayerView: UIViewControllerRepresentable {
#EnvironmentObject var playerState : PlayerState
#Binding var videoURL: URL?
func updateUIViewController(_ playerController: AVPlayerViewController, context: Context) {
}
func makeUIViewController(context: Context) -> AVPlayerViewController {
let playerController = AVPlayerViewController()
playerController.modalPresentationStyle = .fullScreen
playerController.player = playerState.player(for: videoURL!)
playerController.player?.play()
return playerController
}
}
Something to be aware of (a bug?): whenever a modal sheet is shown using .sheet() the environment objects are not automatically passed to the subviews. They have to be added using environmentObject().

→ Use .fullScreenCover instead of .sheet and you’re good to go.
