SwiftLocation is a lightweight Swift wrapper around Apple's CoreLocation framework built on the async/await concurrency model. It replaces the delegate and completion-block patterns with clean async APIs for location requests, permission handling, region/beacon monitoring, and heading tracking.

Use cases

• get the user's current location with async/await
• request location permissions in Swift
• continuously monitor user location updates
• monitor significant location changes or visits
• range iBeacons and monitor regions
• track device heading/compass direction
• mock CLLocationManager in unit tests

When to choose

• you're building an iOS/macOS/watchOS/tvOS app in Swift 5.3+ with structured concurrency
• you want a modern async/await API instead of CLLocationManager delegates
• you need one-shot location, continuous tracking, visits, beacons, or heading monitoring
• you want a testable location layer with a mocked CLLocationManager

When to avoid

• you need cross-platform (Android/Windows) location support
• your project targets Swift versions or Apple OS versions without async/await support
• you need advanced CoreLocation features the wrapper doesn't expose and prefer calling CoreLocation directly
