Mapbox Ios Patterns
This is the official integration reference for Mapbox Maps SDK v11 on iOS, covering Swift, SwiftUI, and UIKit patterns. It walks through installation via SPM, three different marker APIs (the experimental Markers API, PointAnnotation with custom images, and full view annotations), user location tracking, and when to switch from annotations to style layers for performance. The marker comparison table is genuinely useful since the SDK gives you three ways to drop a pin and the tradeoffs are not obvious. If you're adding maps to an iOS app or migrating between annotation types, this is the pattern reference you want open in a second window.
