Example application showing how to display a map with the current user-location inside a widget.
Note: As a UIViewRepresentable is not supported in widgets, Apple's recommendation for displaying maps inside widgets is to use a MKMapSnapshotter.
📲 Clone the repository and run pod install in the terminal to install the dependencies. Afterwards run the example application, allow access to location data and add the widget named MapWidgetExample to your home screen.
🧪 All code for the widget lives inside the folder MapWidget. The corresponding application code inside the folder MapWidgetExample does not contain any logic other than requesting access to location data.
🔐 To receive the current user-location you have to add the following lines to the Info.plist of your application.
