Open map location from Apple maps in my mapping app
I'm developing an iOS mapping app. I would like to open a location from
the built-in maps app into my app. Ideally, my app would show up in the
Maps location sharing sheet along with Mail, Twitter, and Facebook. Is
this possible?
The best I've come up with is configuring my app as a routing app so that
Maps can send a routing request to my app, and using the destination as
the point being shared. There are a few problems with that, though. First,
my app doesn't do routing, so that's misleading to the user. Second, in my
opinion, there are too many steps for the user to get to the routing
options screen. Lastly, Apple might not approve an app that advertises
itself to the system as being a routing provider but doesn't actually do
any routing.
I've searched around quite a bit, but I haven't seen this question asked,
and I haven't found anything in Apple's documentation. Any suggestions?
