There is no bug in this package. The bug is in Mapbox’s iOS SDK.
As you can see in the table I posted a few comments above, it’s fixed since 6.2. However this package still uses 5.9. Hence why you’re experiencing this.
Experiencing the same issue here on our production mobile apps having a major impact on our business.
@ferdicus Is there an ETA on getting the fix also into this package or does this solely depend on the connected mapbox ios sdk issue? Thanks in advance.
@range-of-motion How is the use of a different source resolving the issue on this package though? Gives a bit of a wrong impression of this issue imho.
Couldn’t figure out how to use MapLibre, but that’s probably my stupidity.
I did spend the night trying to figure out which iOS SDK versions have this bug, and which do not.
TLDR–since 6.2 the bug has disappeared.
