SMCalloutView is a lightweight Objective-C library that recreates the private UICalloutView control from iOS MapKit, letting developers show map-pin-style callout bubbles anywhere in their apps. It supports iOS 7+ styling, custom backgrounds, and arbitrary content views.
Use cases
- show a callout bubble when tapping a pin outside MKMapView
- display popup tooltips pointing at UI elements in iOS apps
- customize the appearance of map annotation callouts
- use callout bubbles with the Google Maps iOS SDK
- present rich content views in a popover-style bubble
When to choose
- you need the system MapKit callout look outside of MKMapView
- you want a lightweight drop-in Objective-C class with no dependencies
- you need customizable callout backgrounds or content views
When to avoid
- you are building with SwiftUI and want native modern popover APIs
- you need a cross-platform solution for Android or web
- you require actively maintained libraries with frequent updates
