Question 1

How do I add a flyover animation to my iOS app using SwiftUI?

Accepted Answer

Use the FlyoverMap view in SwiftUI, passing the coordinate and configuration parameters. Set isStarted to true to begin the animation, and refer to the example code in the README for a quick implementation.

Question 2

FlyoverKit vs building custom MapKit animations: which is better?

Accepted Answer

FlyoverKit is best for rapid deployment of configurable flyovers with minimal code. For highly customized, complex animations or full control over MapKit camera logic, building from scratch might be necessary but requires more development effort.

Question 3

Can FlyoverKit work with offline maps?

Accepted Answer

FlyoverKit relies on MKMapView, which can support offline maps with pre-cached tiles, but the package itself doesn't provide tools for offline functionality. You'll need to handle map data caching separately using Apple's APIs.

Question 4

How to configure the speed of the flyover animation?

Accepted Answer

Control the animation through the configuration object by adjusting parameters like altitude and heading increment. The animation curve (e.g., linear) affects smoothness, but direct speed control isn't explicitly detailed; tweak values based on trial and error.

Question 5

Is FlyoverKit compatible with tvOS?

Accepted Answer

Yes, as stated in the features and platform badges, FlyoverKit runs on both iOS and tvOS, making it suitable for Apple TV applications that require immersive map animations.

Question 6

How do I stop and resume flyovers in a UIKit app?

Accepted Answer

Use the FlyoverMapView instance and call stopFlyover() to pause the animation, and resumeFlyover() to continue. Ensure the flyover is started first with startFlyover(at:configuration:), as shown in the UIKit example.
