I am using the following code to get a Placemark (and coordinates) from a city name, both for mapping and current weather information.
When I run my application on a iPhone 15 Pro Max (in the simulator) I get correct location information using the string "London, GB" (as well any other city name I've given it.)
When I run it directly on an actual iPhone 15 Pro Max it does NOT return location information for "London, GB". (it does return proper results for other cities.)
Why might this be happening? (function below)
I am running both the simulator and actual iPhone on the same wifi network.
func getLocationFromCityName(cityName: String, citiesIndex: Int, gmtDiff: Int, completion: @escaping(_ coordinates: CLLocationCoordinate2D?, _ error: Error?) -> () ) {
CLGeocoder().geocodeAddressString(cityName) {
let loc = $0?.first(where: { placemark in
placemark.timeZone?.secondsFromGMT() == gmtDiff
})
if let loc {
let city = loc.locality ?? loc.name
let state = loc.administrativeArea
let countryCode = loc.isoCountryCode
if let city, let countryCode {
let foundName = countryCode == "US" ? city + ", " + (state ?? "") : city + ", " + countryCode
self.cities[citiesIndex].name = foundName
self.changeNameInActiveCalendarAlertsOnCalendarEvents(oldCityName: cityName, cityName: foundName)
}
}
completion($0?.first?.location?.coordinate, $1)
}
}
