Search for an address | ArcGIS Maps SDK for Swift

Learn how to find an address or place with a search bar and the geocoding service.

Overview of how to search for an address

Geocoding is the process of converting address or place text into a location. The geocoding service can search for an address or a place and perform reverse geocoding.

In this tutorial, you use a search bar in the user interface to access the Geocoding service and search for addresses and places.

Mapping and location services guide

For more background information about the topics in this tutorial, visit Geocode in the Mapping and location services guide. To learn more about the service, visit Geocoding service.

Prerequisites

Before starting this tutorial:

  1. You need an ArcGIS Location Platform or ArcGIS Online account.

  2. Your system meets the system requirements.

Set up authentication

To access the secure ArcGIS location services used in this tutorial, you must implement API key authentication or user authentication using an ArcGIS Location Platform or an ArcGIS Online account.

You can implement API key authentication or user authentication in this tutorial. Compare the differences below:

API key authentication

Learn more in API key authentication.

User authentication

Learn more in User authentication.

Security and authentication guide

To learn more about the different types of authentication, visit Types of authentication.

Create a new API key access token with privileges to access the secure resources used in this tutorial.

  1. Complete the Create an API key tutorial and create an API key with the following privilege(s):

  2. Copy and paste the API key access token into a safe location. It will be used in a later step.

Create new OAuth credentials to access the secure resources used in this tutorial.

  1. Complete the Create OAuth credentials for user authentication tutorial to obtain a Client ID and Redirect URL.

    A Client ID uniquely identifies your app on the authenticating server. If the server cannot find an app with the provided Client ID, it will not proceed with authentication.

    The Redirect URL (also referred to as a callback url) is used to identify a response from the authenticating server when the system returns control back to your app after an OAuth login. Since it does not necessarily represent a valid endpoint that a user could navigate to, the redirect URL can use a custom scheme, such as my-app://auth. It is important to make sure the redirect URL used in your app's code matches a redirect URL configured on the authenticating server.

  2. Copy and paste the Client ID and Redirect URL into a safe location. They will be used in a later step.

All users that access this application need account privileges to access the ArcGIS Basemap Styles service and the ArcGIS Geocoding service.

Develop or Download

You have two options for completing this tutorial:

  1. Option 1: Develop the code or
  2. Option 2: Download the completed solution
Option 1: Develop the code

To start the tutorial, complete the Display a map tutorial. This creates a map to display the Santa Monica Mountains in California using the topographic basemap from the ArcGIS basemap styles service.

Continue with the following instructions to add a search bar to the user interface and search for an address or place using the ArcGIS Geocoding service. First, you need to set the develop credentials in your app so that your app users can access the ArcGIS Geocoding service.

Set developer credentials

If you implemented API key authentication in the Display a map tutorial, the API key access token will only have the Basemaps privilege. The Search for an address tutorial requires the Geocoding privilege to search for an address using the LocatorTask. To create an API Key access token that has the Basemaps and Geocoding privileges, see the Set up authentication step and then follow the instructions below.

Pass your API Key access token to the ArcGISEnvironment.

  1. In the Project Navigator, click MainApp.swift.

  2. Set the ArcGISEnvironment.apiKey property with your API key access token.

            ArcGISEnvironment.apiKey = APIKey("<#YOUR-ACCESS-TOKEN#>")
    

Best Practice: The access token is stored directly in the code as a convenience for this tutorial. Do not store credentials directly in source code in a production environment.

Use the Authenticator toolkit component to manage your OAuth credentials and pass it to the ArcGISEnvironment.

  1. In the Project Navigator, click MainApp.swift.

  2. Set your PortalURL, clientID and redirectURL values.

Add graphics

Graphics are added as a visual means to display the search result on the map.

  1. Create a private property named textGraphic in the Model class. This graphic will be used to display the result's text label.

    A TextSymbol is used to display text at a location on the map view.

            return Graphic(symbol: markerSymbol)
        }()
    
    }
    
  3. Create an init function for the Model class. Create a GraphicsOverlay with the textGraphic and markerGraphic and assign it to the model's graphics overlay. This function will be called when Model is initialized.

    Because textGraphic and markerGraphic haven't yet specified a Geometry, they will not be visible.

Create a locator task with geocode parameters

Geocoding is implemented with a locator, typically created by referencing a service such as the Geocoding service or, for offline geocoding, by referencing locator data contained in a mobile package. Geocoding parameters can be used to fine-tune the results, such as setting the maximum number of results or requesting additional attributes in the results.

  1. Create a LocatorTask property in the Model, named locator, based on the ArcGIS Geocoding service hosted by ESRI.

    A locator task is used to convert an address to a point (geocode) or vice-versa (reverse geocode). An address includes any type of information that distinguishes a place. A locator involves finding matching locations for a given address. Reverse-geocoding is the opposite and finds the closest address for a given point.

    Attention

    ArcGIS Enterprise users do not have access to this ArcGIS Geocoding service hosted by ESRI. If you are building an app for ArcGIS Enterprise users, you need to use a geocoding service that is hosted in the users' ArcGIS Enterprise. Contact the ArcGIS Enterprise administrator for more information.

  2. In the ContentView, create a private String variable named searchText with the @State property wrapper. This will hold the user input and be used to perform the geocode operation.

  4. Within the new function, create GeocodeParameters, and its attributes as follows:

    When geocoding an address, you can optionally provide GeocodeParameters to control certain aspects of the geocoding operation, and specify the kinds of results to return from the locator task.

Add a search bar to the UI

To search an address using the application, add a UI element to prompt the user for text input.

  1. In the body, add an overlay to the MapView. Set the alignment to the top, add padding all around, and set the background.

Run the solution

Press Command + R to run the app.

If you are using the Xcode simulator your system must meet these minimum requirements: macOS 14 (Sonoma), Xcode 16, iOS 18. If you are using a physical device, then refer to the system requirements.

You should see a search box at the top of the map. Search for an address by entering an address and tap the Search button. The result of the search should display on the map as a red square with the address displayed on top.

Alternatively, you can download the tutorial solution, as follows.

Option 2: Download the solution
  1. Click the Download solution link under Solution and unzip the file to a location on your machine.

  2. Open the .xcodeproj file in Xcode.

Since the downloaded solution does not contain authentication credentials, you must add the developer credentials that you created in the Set up authentication section.

Set developer credentials in the solution

To allow your app users to access ArcGIS location services, use the developer credentials that you created in the Set up authentication step to authenticate requests for resources.

Pass your API Key access token to the ArcGISEnvironment.

  1. In the Project Navigator, click MainApp.swift.

  2. Set the AuthenticationMode to .apiKey.

Best Practice: The access token is stored directly in the code as a convenience for this tutorial. Do not store credentials directly in source code in a production environment.

Use the Authenticator toolkit component to manage your OAuth credentials and pass it to the ArcGISEnvironment.

  1. In the Project Navigator, click MainApp.swift.

  2. Set the AuthenticationMode to .user.
