I have an app that I want to have a button that will show you the location of somewhere (it’s a conference app, so want to show the convention centre on google map). At the moment my link opens up google maps with the long/lat.
My question is, is that standard practice in IOS? or it against some design guideline (seeing as it opens another app). Should I embed a mapkit view instead? I’m under a really tight deadline so don’t want to get my app rejected, so thought I’d ask which was the generally accepted practice.
Neither will get your app rejected but using an embedded map will make your users happier. You might also give a button which opens the location in the maps app so the user can get directions.
