iOS: Changing the default map style

[r3econ]

I noticed that MapLibre starts loading and sets its default style before I apply my custom style. This results in map showing a default colorful MapLibre style before the correct style is fetched from the internet.

I can see the same behaviour when using a local JSON style file. The map attempts load of the default style before loading my custom style.

The style being loaded can be seen in didFinishLoadingStyle delegate call. There I found that the initial loaded style is:

 MLNStyle: name = "MapLibre", URL = "maplibre://maps/style

Default style load is followed by the load of my custom style.

Is there a way to overwrite the default MapLibre style so it does not load it whatsoever and goes straight into loading my custom style?

Can you share how you are setting your style?

I'm instantiating the map in makeUIView and setting the style in updateUIView methods of the UIViewRepresentable:

struct MapViewRepresentable: UIViewRepresentable {

    func makeUIView(context: Context) -> MLNMapView {
        let mapView = MLNMapView()
        ...
        return mapView
    }
    
    func updateUIView(_ mapView: MLNMapView, context: Context) {
        mapView.styleURL = myRemoteStyleUrl
        ...
    }
}

I see in the delegate callbacks that the map is also trying to load the default style. In the calls below I'm logging style name:

Can you try setting the styleURL in makeUIView? Or even pass it to the MLNMapView initializer?

Looks like the behavior that was already reported here #709, right?
