`onTapGesture` not triggered on `Map` views

I've filed FB19405284 describing this bug.

Thank you for filing FB19405284 so we can take a look.

Hello, I had the same issue with onTapGesture not being triggered when applied on a struct conforming to UIViewControllerRepresentable. That happens only on iOS 26 Developer Beta 5, not on beta 4.

I can confirm that I'm also experiencing that same issue. I'm happy to provide whatever data I can to debug the issue.

I've also filed FB19394663 which demonstrates the same issue but when Map is wrapped in a MapReader.

I should add that in beta 4 I saw an issue where if I clicked really fast on the map with an onTapGesture interaction modes set to .pan, .zoom, the map eventually stopped responding to everything. With just .pan, it worked just fine, though.

I can also confirm that I am seeing this issue as well when Map view is wrapped in MapReader for iOS 26 (23A5308f))

FYI: I tested this using the new releases published today, and this issue still exists.

Specifically, I observed the issue when:

• Developing in Xcode beta 6 (17A5305f) running iOS 26 SDK beta 6 (23A5324a) in the simulator
• Running the sample app on a physical iPhone running iOS 26 beta 7 (23A5326a)

Yes, I can confirm that the issue still exists in Version 26.0 beta 6 (17A5305f) and the iOS 26 SDK beta 6 (23A5324a) in the simulator. Can't understand why it's not fixed :-( Filed a bug (FB19756493)

I can confirm the same in iOS 26 SDK beta 7 when installed on a test device. Deeply frustrating as this has no workaround and is core functionality within our app.

We're still investigating this, but here's something you can try as a workaround: .simultaneousGesture(TapGesture().onEnded {}) to register the callback.

Please let me know how that goes.

Thanks so much for that suggestion, @DTS Engineer!

That approach does indeed fire the callback for a tap. But in my particular case, I need the screen coordinate of the tap, and I don't see a way to get that using TapGesture().onEnded {}.

However, I found that SpatialTapGesture does provide the screen coordinate of the tap.

Here's what this workaround looks like applied to the code sample from the OP:

import MapKit
import SwiftUI

struct ContentView: View {
  @State private var location = CGPoint.zero

  var body: some View {
    Map()
      .simultaneousGesture(SpatialTapGesture()
        .onEnded { event in
          self.location = event.location
        }
      ).safeAreaInset(edge: .bottom) {
        VStack(alignment: .center) {
          Text("iOS \(UIDevice.current.systemVersion)")
            .font(.largeTitle)

          Text("Tapped Location")
          Text("\(location.x), \(location.y)")
        }
        .frame(maxWidth: .infinity, alignment: .center)
        .background(.background)
      }
  }
}

That seems to work well in my testing!

I'll adopt this workaround for now. Thanks for your help!
