Google Maps on iOS Simulator?
ios, ios-simulator, ipad, iphone, maps
Solution
As the documentation from Apple (link now dead) used to say:
If the Maps application is not installed on the device, opening a map URL forwards the request to the Google Maps website.
So you can test this in the simulator, but it will open in Safari instead.
Problem
I'm building an iOS app that I want to interact with the Native maps application that comes on iPhone & iPad. No maps application seems to be installed on either of the simulators. How can I test this functionality on the iOS simulator? When I let Google Maps website take over with the following url http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=37.785834,-122.406417 This happens
