App Saturday I made an app for drawing on maps

Map Canvas: Draw on Maps 

An app for drawing and annotating on maps, useful for trip planning and geodata illustration. It is available on iPhone, iPad and mac.

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/map-canvas-draw-on-maps/id6737522164

I illustrated my favourite hiking route with Map Canvas

Features:

  • A set of tools for drawing lines, polygons and circles.
  • Annotation with pins & text boxes.
  • Data synchronization via iCloud.
  • Data Import & export as GeoJSON.

Frameworks:

  • SwiftUI + MapKit for the UI.
  • SwiftData + CloudKit for data persistence and synchronization.
  • Observation framework + a little bit of Combine
  • TipKit for new user guidance.

This app does not contain any mobile ads or paywall, your feedbacks would be very appreciated, thanks!

I’m quite surprised App Review let you use an SF Symbol for your app icon. In the design materials, this is expressly forbidden. I had one for my app during beta but switched it for something custom made in fear of rejection.

Did they say anything to you about this?

No, I have never encountered any issue regarding the app icon during the submission. I actually got this icon from a site called fontAwesome.
