load openstreetmap by using Mapkit framework

Question

I wanted to develop tracking iOS Application , but - I wanted to load openstreetmap by using MapKit framework as Apple map doesn't provide detailed accuracy . - There are so many third party libraries/frameworks i.e. Mapbox,whirlyGlobeMaply, etc. but I dont wanted to use that. as all have pricing plans for commercial level. Also I found that Google Maps also require Pricing at commercial level. - so I have searched for many ways & I found one in following link http://www.glimsoft.com/01/31/how-to-use-openstreetmap-on-ios-7-in-7-lines-of-code/ but it shows multiple tiles - for above code i used url i.e. - "http://tile.openstreetmap.org/10/547/380.png" [which is sample map]. this gives result as follows

so how to load world map tile ?? is it possible to get x,y,z co-ordinates for that??
or should I use offline openstreetMap ?? I have no idea how it works .
either it is possible or not to load OpenstreetMap by using Mapkit Framework?? or I am searching for wrong way .
or should I go for any paid version of third party library for Mapping functionality ???

----- Please give me suggestions, any help will be appriciable. Thanks...

As per my understanding what you need is; The whole world map in a tile.

Here is a code that I tried in past may be it can help.

Download, TileOverlay.h, TileOverlay.m, TileOverlayView.h, TileOverlayView.m files from Let's Do It

Find View Controller where you manage your MapView object. I assume that your IBOutlet MKMapView is called mapview.

ViewController.h

@interface ViewController : UIViewController <MKMapViewDelegate>


@end

ViewController.m

#import "ViewController.h"
#import "TileOverlay.h"
#import "TileOverlayView.h"

@interface ViewController ()
@property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet MKMapView *mapview;
@property (nonatomic, retain) TileOverlay *overlay;
@end

@implementation ViewController

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
    // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
    [super viewDidLoad];
    // your existing viewDidLoad code is here

    self.overlay = [[TileOverlay alloc] initOverlay];
    [_mapview addOverlay:self.overlay];
    MKMapRect visibleRect = [_mapview mapRectThatFits:self.overlay.boundingMapRect];
    visibleRect.size.width /= 2;
    visibleRect.size.height /= 2;
    visibleRect.origin.x += visibleRect.size.width / 2;
    visibleRect.origin.y += visibleRect.size.height / 2;
    _mapview.visibleMapRect = visibleRect;
}
- (MKOverlayView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView viewForOverlay:(id <MKOverlay>)ovl
{
    TileOverlayView *view = [[TileOverlayView alloc] initWithOverlay:ovl];
    view.tileAlpha = 1.0; // e.g. 0.6 alpha for semi-transparent overlay
    return view;
}
- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning {
    [super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
    // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}

@end

Note : The files which you will get have code written with ARC disabled.It is easy to remove them just delete all the retain, release and dealloc

any swift solution. I'm getting this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51347044/why-mktileoverlay-repeats-same-tile-over-and-over-for-openstreet-map-in-ios-swi — Marlon Brando aka Ben, Jul 15 '18 at 12:12
