iOS : White images on map annotations

[BunnySashka]

Hello,

I have strange bug with representing map
From time to time I see white images on places, where must be my annotations

iOS 8.1

Please, could you help me with this problem

Could you share with us the code you are using to add the annotation?
And please add also the image file you are using as an icon.

SKAnnotation *annotation;
annotation = [SKAnnotation annotation];
annotation.identifier = tag;
annotation.location = CLLocationCoordinate2DMake([[coordinateArray lastObject] floatValue], [[coordinateArray firstObject] floatValue]);
annotation.offset = CGPointMake(kXOffsetScobblerMap, kYOffsetScobblerMap);

NSString *imageString;
NSString *poiName = POI[@"name"];
imageString = [[G4MMediaManager sharedManager] stringGreyMarkerImageForCategory:POI[@"c"]];
annotation.imagePath = imageString;
annotation.imageSize = kAnnotationImageSize;
SKAnimationSettings *animationSettings = [SKAnimationSettings animationSettings];
[self.mapView addAnnotation:annotation withAnimationSettings:animationSettings];

I've used the following code in our demo project (after adding the icon file to the Resources folder):

SKAnnotation *annotation;
annotation = [SKAnnotation annotation];
annotation.identifier = 200;
annotation.location = CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(52.5233, 13.4127);
annotation.offset = CGPointMake(0, 32);

annotation.imagePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle]pathForResource:@"marker_gray-ico_poi_Building_scobbler" ofType:@"png"];;
annotation.imageSize = 128;
[self.mapView addAnnotation:annotation withAnimationSettings:animationSettings];

and the result was:

Could you check if this code works also in your project?

Dandronic, in my project this problem manifests itself sometimes, it does not appear every time and I caught this only on iOS 8.1
In application I use also MKMapKit. From time to time I see white images after closing MKMapKit view and opening SKMap view, maybe SKMap has conflict with MKMapKit ?

[dandronic]

It depends a lot of your implementation details, so we couldn't tell what the issue might be without looking at more code & debugging.

Our 2.3 SDK update is coming in a couple of days and we since did make some minor changes regarding iOS 8.1 there it could be worthwhile testing the same code once you update to 2.3.

Otherwise, the best way to proceed is to send us a short screencast of the problem.

ok, Thank you!

Dandronic, this bug is still reproducible with current version (2.3)

[dandronic]

We've tested 2.3, with the provided code:

SKAnnotation *annotation;
annotation = [SKAnnotation annotation];
annotation.identifier = 200;
annotation.location = CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(52.5233, 13.4127);
annotation.offset = CGPointMake(0, 32);

annotation.imagePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle]pathForResource:@"marker_gray-ico_poi_Building_scobbler" ofType:@"png"];;
annotation.imageSize = 128;
[self.mapView addAnnotation:annotation withAnimationSettings:animationSettings];

on multiple devices, and multiple OS versions (8.1 included) and everything works as expected.

Can you attempt to reproduce your issue in our demo project and share with us the code?

On last weak I send mail with test project and video, which demonstrate bug
If you didn't get it, I can send it one more time
