How to Get User Location on a Map - Swift

Head to https://squarespace.com/seanallen to save 10% off your first purchase of a website or domain using code SEANALLEN.

In today's video I show you how to show a user's location on a map in SwiftUI using MapKit and CoreLocation. We also discuss how to ask for location permission and handle the various permission states.

This tutorial was created in Xcode 13 and iOS 15 (betas).

*** Yes, I'm aware of the new LocationButton released with iOS 15. Because that requires iOS 15, that will be a separate video in the future.
