MapKit: MKDirections cycling is available?

Question

I'm working on a bike application and wanted to use MapKit MKDirections to calculate some routes, on the official Apple documentation, the cycling MKDirectionsTransportType seems to be available from iOS 14+ but it's not.

Still getting the "Type 'MKDirectionsTransportType' has no member 'cycling'" error in XCode 16.4 (iOS 18.5).

When should it be available ? with iOS 26 ? It was announce in the WWDC2025

Can't found any date of availability..

Answer 1

I could not find any release notes indicating which Xcode version it will arrive with. However, .cycling is accessible in the Xcode 26 beta. I am using Xcode-beta (1).

@available(iOS 7.0, *)
public struct MKDirectionsTransportType : OptionSet, @unchecked Sendable {
 public init(rawValue: UInt)
 public static var automobile: MKDirectionsTransportType { get }
 public static var walking: MKDirectionsTransportType { get }
 @available(iOS 9.0, *)
 public static var transit: MKDirectionsTransportType { get }
 @available(iOS 14.0, *)
 public static var cycling: MKDirectionsTransportType { get } //<- here
 public static var any: MKDirectionsTransportType { get }
}

• Grég: Mmmh ok thank you, so I guess it will be available in September with the release of iOS 26. I was thinking of installing it to see if, but didn't find any info about it in the release notes.. Thanks

Here the final XCode 26 MapKit MKDirectionsTypes definition :

typedef NS_OPTIONS(NSUInteger, MKDirectionsTransportType) {
 MKDirectionsTransportTypeAutomobile = 1 << 0,
 MKDirectionsTransportTypeWalking = 1 << 1,
 MKDirectionsTransportTypeTransit NS_ENUM_AVAILABLE(10_11, 9_0) = 1 << 2, // Only supported for ETA calculations
 MKDirectionsTransportTypeCycling API_AVAILABLE(ios(14.0), macos(11.0), watchos(7.0), tvos(14.0), visionos(1.0)) = 1 << 3,
 MKDirectionsTransportTypeAny = 0x0FFFFFFF
} API_AVAILABLE(macos(10.9), ios(7.0), tvos(9.2), watchos(1.0));
