Getting Started

Generate your API Key

1. Go to https://developer.tech.yandex.ru/services/
2. Create a MapKit Mobile SDK key

Setup for iOS

• Specify your API key and locale in ios/Runner/AppDelegate.swift. It should be similar to the following

import UIKit
import Flutter
import YandexMapsMobile

@UIApplicationMain
@objc class AppDelegate: FlutterAppDelegate {
  override func application(
    _ application: UIApplication,
    didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?
  ) -> Bool {
    YMKMapKit.setLocale("YOUR_LOCALE") // Your preferred language. Not required, defaults to system language
    YMKMapKit.setApiKey("YOUR_API_KEY") // Your generated API key
    GeneratedPluginRegistrant.register(with: self)
    return super.application(application, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: launchOptions)
  }
}

• Uncomment platform :ios, '9.0' in ios/Podfile and change to platform :ios, '12.0'

# Uncomment this line to define a global platform for your project
platform :ios, '12.0'

• Specify your desired variant of native library.
  Available options: lite and full. navikit variant is currently not supported.
  Defaults to lite.

Include the following line right after ENV['COCOAPODS_DISABLE_STATS'] = 'true'

ENV['YANDEX_MAPKIT_VARIANT'] = '<YOUR_DESIRED_VARIANT>'

Setup for Android

• Specify your desired variant of native library.
  Available options: lite and full. navikit variant is currently not supported.
  Defaults to lite.

Add the following line to android/gradle.properties

yandexMapkit.variant=<YOUR_DESIRED_VARIANT>

• Add dependency implementation 'com.yandex.android:maps.mobile:4.6.1-<YOUR_DESIRED_VARIANT>' to android/app/build.gradle

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.yandex.android:maps.mobile:4.6.1-<YOUR_DESIRED_VARIANT>'
}

• Specify your API key and locale in your custom application class.
  If you don't have one the you can create it like so

android/app/src/main/.../MainApplication.java

import android.app.Application;

import com.yandex.mapkit.MapKitFactory;

public class MainApplication extends Application {
    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();
        MapKitFactory.setLocale("YOUR_LOCALE"); // Your preferred language. Not required, defaults to system language
        MapKitFactory.setApiKey("YOUR_API_KEY"); // Your generated API key
    }
}

android/app/src/main/.../MainApplication.kt

import android.app.Application

import com.yandex.mapkit.MapKitFactory

class MainApplication: Application() {
  override fun onCreate() {
    super.onCreate()
    MapKitFactory.setLocale("YOUR_LOCALE") // Your preferred language. Not required, defaults to system language
    MapKitFactory.setApiKey("YOUR_API_KEY") // Your generated API key
  }
}

• In your android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml

Add permissions <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/> and <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>

Find application tag and replace android:name to the name of your custom application class prefixed by a dot .. In the end it should look like the following

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
    <application
      android:name=".MainApplication" >

Usage

For usage examples refer to example app

Additional remarks

Language

YandexMapkit always works with one language only.
Due to native constraints after the application is launched it can't be changed.

Android. Hybrid Composition

By default android views are rendered using Hybrid Composition.
To render the YandexMap widget on Android using Virtual Display(old composition), set AndroidYandexMap.useAndroidViewSurface to false.
Place this anywhere in your code, before using YandexMap widget.

AndroidYandexMap.useAndroidViewSurface = false;
