Z-index of iOS MapKit user location annotation

Question

I need to draw the current user annotation (the blue dot) on top of all other annotations. Right now it is getting drawn underneath my other annotations and getting hidden.

Answer 1

Just use the .layer.anchorPointZ property.

Example:

 func mapView(_ mapView: MKMapView, didAdd views: [MKAnnotationView]) {
        views.forEach {
            if let _ = $0.annotation as? MKUserLocation {
                $0.layer.anchorPointZ = 0
            } else {
                $0.layer.anchorPointZ = 1
            }
        }
    }
