Your video won’t play on my phone. But honestly, if you’re not doing anything particularly advanced (as in the OpenGL or CGDirectDisplay level), then the symptoms you describe should not appear and you ought to file a bug. You might consider simply attaching your current project (along with

I've built the beginnings of a simple OS X app that will display some stuff on a map. Although the Map View I put in the window is displaying a map, and is set to show the user location, and the app asked for permission and I clicked OK, it's not actually displaying the location. I'm also
