Maps and legal mention

Question

With iOS < 6.0 we were able to re-position the "Google" link over map view (by browsing the subviews of map view). Now with iO6, there's a "legal" link and this is a MKAttributeLabel. A private class that we can't manipulate ...

My problem is that I must add a footer subview to my map and it'll hide the legal link ... How can I solve this problem without any App Store rejection ?

Can I create another legal button my self and add it where I want in my map view ? I have no idea what I'm able to do...

I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it is about legal advice, not programming advice. — durron597, May 28 '15 at 02:16

There's a few answers recommending you move the legal label in the viewDidAppear of your view controller, however this doesn't work if you then resize your map view (like I am).

The best way is to subclass the MKMapView and override the layoutSubviews method. In my example I just needed to nudge the legal label above a semi-transparent toolbar.

-(void)layoutSubviews
{
    [super layoutSubviews];
    UILabel *legalLabel;
    for(UIView *view in self.subviews)
    {
        if([view isKindOfClass:[UILabel class]])
        {
            legalLabel = (UILabel *)view;
            break;
        }
    }
    legalLabel.center = CGPointMake(legalLabel.center.x, self.bounds.size.height - 55.0f);
}

bad idea because you're dependant on every change about iOS. — Pierre, Mar 06 '14 at 10:18

Does the footer view have to be inside the map boundary, why not put the map and the footer into the same super view?

Sorry this is what i've done. Footer and Map are subviews of one superview. The footer has transparency and is overlaying the map – Pierre Oct 16 '12 at 09:17

Well if the problem is that it hides the map, don't make them overlap – Craig Oct 16 '12 at 19:50

Problem solved : I'm now using Route-Me and Bing map. Sorry Apple but upgrade your API ... – Pierre Oct 16 '12 at 20:24
@Pierre Just curious: are you using Google API and Apple Map in your case? I am asking because one is not supposed to draw data gathered from Google over a map that is not Google Map. Are you saying that even though you are using Apple Map, you are still supposed to show the Google Legal link? – Unheilig May 28 '15 at 03:38
