Summary:
When using -[MKMapItem openInMapsWithLaunchOptions:] or +[MKMapItem openMapsWithItems:launchOptions:] to launch the Maps app to show directions to the specified map item, Maps.app launches but doesn't show any directions.
It only works if Maps.app was already launched before.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Make sure Maps.app wasn't launched before or kill it from the app switcher.
- Construct an MKMapItem and call:
[mapItem openInMapsWithLaunchOptions:@{MKLaunchOptionsDirectionsModeKey: MKLaunchOptionsDirectionsModeDriving}];
Expected Results:
Maps.app should launch and display directions to the specified map item.
Actual Results:
Maps.app launches but does nothing else.
Version:
12.0 beta 3
Notes:
Regression from iOS 11.

My response
While I don't have the time to create, sync and upload a sysdiagnose, you can easily reproduce this using our Where To? app. For your convenience, I'm attaching a promo code for a free download from the App Store:

Install the app, select any place, tap the directions button and select the Maps app for directions. This will be much more convenient since you can then debug the issue right away.
