Hi, @nole87. Thank you for using Mapbox. I'm running the app on an iPhone 4s simulator, and I don't notice the issue you mention.

Could you please post a code snippet or test app we could use to track down the issue?

Just noting that this sounds similar to #11946

I have similar issues with Android emulator as well

this is screenshot from 6.1.3 sdk version

Sorry for my late response, I don't get any email about comments. I try again in new test app. I just follow https://www.mapbox.com/install/ios/ and on 4s simulator look picture. I try to upload project but github says "Yowza, that's a big file"

[nole87]

Any response about this bug?

@sigis151 We're tracking the Android issue in #10829

@nole87 For iOS - we're still investigating. We have just released v4.1.0 - can you try again? Which version of Xcode are you using?

EDIT: Confirmed I see this too running on iPhone 4S, iPhone 5 simulators.

newest one xcode, I try 4.1 SDk but I can download pod yet ... I will try tomorrow 4.1

[julianrex]

@nole87 I've recreated your scenario. This may be related to the Android issue, but not confirmed yet.

For reference - this does not occur on iPhone 5 hardware (running 9.3)

[nole87]

sdk 4.0.2 iPhone simulator 9.3

[nole87]

4.1 sdk iOS 9.3 still same on simulator, I don't have real iPhone below 6 series to try it ...

[nole87]

What about this. I just try SDK 4.2 but it's same, no text labels only black rectangles ...

[julianrex]

@nole87 unfortunately we don't have an update at this time (other than this appears to be a simulator-only issue).

[nole87]

Great to hear it's just simulator :)

I am in hurry to publish my app, maybe it's not right place to ask but I need to add padding to user location. In android there is that. In iOS I find mapView.setUserLocationVerticalAlignment(MGLAnnotationVerticalAlignment.bottom, animated: true) but not good enough for my app, I need like in android to set padding in points...

Also, self.mapView.setUserTrackingMode(.followWithCourse, animated: true) when before this line user location is fixed with: mapView.setUserTrackingMode(.follow, animated: true) which is my case than map heading is set hard without animation ... it's bad user experience ...

While this does easily reproduce on the iPhone 5 Simulator (iOS 9.3) using Xcode 9, I can confirm that it does not happen on a physical iPhone 5 (iOS 9.3.5) when running ios-v4.2.0:

Though inconvenient, this is an upstream issue that is 1. likely beyond our control, and 2. does not affect end-users. To that end, I’m going to close this as “(probably) won’t fix”.

@nole87 See #12203.
