Create custom CLPlacemark for RideIntent

Question

I'm trying to create a custom CLPlacemark using the Intents framework. I'm importing 'Intents' at files beginning.

I found this solution:

let waypointLocation = CLLocation(latitude: 50.00, longitude: 8.00)
let waypointName = "Some Name"

let w1 = CLPlacemark.init(location: waypointLocation,
                                      name: waypointName,
                                      postalAddress: nil)

Unfortunately the above code gives me the following error message:

Ambiguous reference to member 'init(placemark:)'

Any ideas what's wrong?

Documentation:

init(location:name:postalAddress:) https://developer.apple.com/reference/corelocation/clplacemark/2132103-init

Just found out that in iOS 12 / Xcode 10 you also have to include the Contacts framework, as the postaladdress param has the class CNPostalAddress required for this initializer

import Intents
import Contacts

By subclassing CLPlacemark it is possible to use the Intents frameworks protocol init(location:name:postalAddress).

Somewhere in your project:

class MyPlacemark: CLPlacemark {}

Your code to create a custom CLPlacemark:

let placeLocation = CLLocation(latitude: 50.00, longitude: 8.00)
let placeName = "Some name"
let customPlacemark = MyPlacemark(location: w1Location, name: w1Name, postalAddress: nil)

I tried your solution but still get the same error :( What Frameworks to you import? I tried CoreLocation and Intents... Still the error :( – Georg Aug 30 '18 at 06:55

You need to use

init(location:name:postalAddress);

The placemarkWithLocation call is objective-C not swift hence why it is throwing that error message.

In the documentation you will see a language selection on the right hand side. init(location:name:postalAddress is the swift call you will need to create a new place mark.
