Xcode/iOS: does Maps need to be switched on in Capabilities?

Question

I have integrated MapKit in my iOS app, and it works fine without switching Maps on in xCode/target/Capabilities.

So, does Maps need to be switched on in Capabilities or not?

I just found out about Capabilities, as I needed to switch In-App-Purchases on.

Answer 1

You only turn the Maps capability on if your app is meant to provide routing (navigation/direction) services to other apps.

Based on your comments, your app will not be providing this service so you don't need to turn on the Maps capability.
