Try to use this one but i don't know apple will approve or not.

[[self.mapView.subviews objectAtIndex:1] removeFromSuperview];

Removing the label will probably lead to your app getting rejected. However it can be done like this with swift:

var legalLabel: UIView?
for subview in stableMapView.subviews {
    if String(describing: type(of: subview)) == "MKAttributionLabel" {
        legalLabel = subview
    }
}
legalLabel?.isHidden = true

You SHOULD NOT hide this legal link or your app will be rejected by Apple.

EDIT : I've found a category wich allows you to move this link, I'm not the author : https://github.com/bartvandendriessche/MKMapView-AttributionView

I see no reference to the legal annotation in the Apple docs. The second link is dead – Airsource Ltd Dec 14 '16 at 11:35

More safe version:

extension MKMapView {
    var attributedView: UIView? {
        for subview in subviews {
            if String(describing: type(of: subview)).contains("Label") {
                return subview
            }
        }
        return nil
    }

    func hideAttributedView() {
        guard let attributedView = attributedView else {
            return
        }
        attributedView.isHidden = true
    }
}

Easiest way to hide the apple logo and legal text in the map (MapView).

To hide the apple logo in the map.

mapView.subviews[1].isHidden = true

To hide the legal text

mapView.subviews[2].isHidden = true
