For an app supporting scenes, the userInfo dictionary in application(_:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:) is nil.
In a #SwiftUI app, what’s the correct way then to determine if the app was launched because of a location event (such as a significant location change, a region monitoring/geofencing enter/exit and/or a visit)?

Now, this is the first version of the app, I have tons of ideas to improve it but I wanted to get it in people's hands and see what people like, what they want, and how it's used 🙂
On the technical side, the app is entirely built in #SwiftUI (what did you expect?), and leverages #CoreLocation, #MapKit, #WeatherKit and a little bit of #SwiftCharts.
This app is the reason I filed and share many feedback related to these frameworks lately 😄
I'm beginning to think the #CoreLocation CLMonitor actor is badly designed. You can only have one instance per identifier (which regions are tied to) and you can only listen for async events stream in one place (if you use the stream twice there is corruption of next()). This means you can't use it from SwiftUI where there is no app level .task available. SwiftUI is designed to have multiple .task spread through out and can all create their own async streams.

Meet Core Location for spatial computing

Discover how Core Location helps your app find its place in the world — literally. We’ll share how you can build a spatial computing app that uses a person’s location while respecting their privacy. You’ll also learn how your app can request location access and how Core Location adapts requests from compatible iPad and iPhone apps.
Here's a gentle reminder that small steps lead to big changes. 🚀 I'm thrilled to announce the initial release of LocationApplication. This tool aims to simplify dealing with location services in Swift. It's built upon AppState, which promotes manageable code and improved testability. If you're working on location-based applications, this could be a handy tool for you.
