This mentions Apple mapkit js. This is the first I’ve seen of that. Has anyone used it before?
I’m wary of building anything on a proprietary JavaScript api, but if they provide tiles that can be used in leaflet or mapbox gl it might be an attractive option.
- xenadu02 8y agoMapKit JS allows 250,000 instantiations and 25,000 service calls per day on the free tier. Currently you must have a paid developer account to use MapKit JS. Beyond that use this form to request an increase in your limit: https://developer.apple.com/contact/request/mapkitjs/ https://developer.apple.com/contact/request/mapkitjs/ As for pricing, nothing has been announced at this time.
- dmortin 8y agoHow much does the developer account cost?

- dmortin 8y agoI don't get it why they ask for money from people who want to learn their platform. They should be happy more people want to develop for them and charge for actual API usage instead above the free quota.
- Jerry2 8y agoYou can do pretty much everything with free membership: free tools etc. If you want to sell stuff in the App Store, then you have to pay.
- dmortin 8y agoI don't want to sell anything in the App Store, I just want to display an Apple Mapkit JS Map on my website, but apparently I need a paid developer account for this too, which makes no sense.
