iOS : Swift - How to add pinpoint to map on touch and get detailed address of that location?

I want to add annotation on touch of iOS map and fetch the detailed address (Placemark) of respective location. How I can achieve this in Swift?

Thanks in advance.

To react to the touch on map you need to set up a tap recogniser for the mapView

in viewDidLoad:

let gestureRecognizer = UITapGestureRecognizer(
                              target: self, action:#selector(handleTap))
    gestureRecognizer.delegate = self
    mapView.addGestureRecognizer(gestureRecognizer)

Handle the tap and get the tapped location coordinates:

func handleTap(gestureRecognizer: UITapGestureRecognizer) {
    
    let location = gestureRecognizer.location(in: mapView)
    let coordinate = mapView.convert(location, toCoordinateFrom: mapView)
    
    // Add annotation:
    let annotation = MKPointAnnotation()
    annotation.coordinate = coordinate
    mapView.addAnnotation(annotation)
}

Now you only have to implement the MKMapView delegate functions to draw the annotations. A simple google search should get you the rest of that.

Since the other answers adequately cover how to handle the touch event, the next step is to use CLGeocoder to preform a reverse-geocoding, which will convert a location value into a list of placemarks at that location.

func handleTap(gestureReconizer: UILongPressGestureRecognizer) {

    let location = gestureReconizer.locationInView(mapView)
    let coordinate = mapView.convertPoint(location,toCoordinateFromView: mapView)

    let geocoder = CLGeocoder()
    geocoder.reverseGeocodeLocation(coordinate) { (placemarks, error) in 
        if let places = placemarks {
            for place in places {
                print("found placemark \(place.name) at address \(place.postalAddress)"
            }
        }
    }
}

Here is a working Xcode 10.1, Swift 4.2 project with MapKit delegates to control the annotations (pin color, pin image etc.) and delegate to handle a click on the added annotation: Github Project

import UIKit
import MapKit

class ViewController: UIViewController {

@IBOutlet weak var mapView: MKMapView!

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    mapView.delegate = self
    let longTapGesture = UILongPressGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(longTap))
    mapView.addGestureRecognizer(longTapGesture)
}

@objc func longTap(sender: UIGestureRecognizer){
    print("long tap")
    if sender.state == .began {
        let locationInView = sender.location(in: mapView)
        let locationOnMap = mapView.convert(locationInView, toCoordinateFrom: mapView)
        addAnnotation(location: locationOnMap)
    }
}

func addAnnotation(location: CLLocationCoordinate2D){
        let annotation = MKPointAnnotation()
        annotation.coordinate = location
        annotation.title = "Some Title"
        annotation.subtitle = "Some Subtitle"
        self.mapView.addAnnotation(annotation)
}
}

extension ViewController: MKMapViewDelegate{

func mapView(_ mapView: MKMapView, viewFor annotation: MKAnnotation) -> MKAnnotationView? {
    guard annotation is MKPointAnnotation else { print("no mkpointannotaions"); return nil }

    let reuseId = "pin"
    var pinView = mapView.dequeueReusableAnnotationView(withIdentifier: reuseId) as? MKPinAnnotationView

    if pinView == nil {
        pinView = MKPinAnnotationView(annotation: annotation, reuseIdentifier: reuseId)
        pinView!.canShowCallout = true
        pinView!.rightCalloutAccessoryView = UIButton(type: .infoDark)
        pinView!.pinTintColor = UIColor.black
    }
    else {
        pinView!.annotation = annotation
    }
    return pinView
}

func mapView(_ mapView: MKMapView, didSelect view: MKAnnotationView) {
    print("tapped on pin ")
}

func mapView(_ mapView: MKMapView, annotationView view: MKAnnotationView, calloutAccessoryControlTapped control: UIControl) {
    if control == view.rightCalloutAccessoryView {
        if let doSomething = view.annotation?.title! {
           print("do something")
        }
    }
  }
}

For Swift 4 I converted the Swift 3 example as the other Swift 4 one did not work for me: (note I'm using 'mapview' instead of 'mapView'just to fit in with other code

        let gestureRecognizer = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(self.handleTap(_:)))
        gestureRecognizer.delegate = self
        mapview.addGestureRecognizer(gestureRecognizer)


@objc func handleTap(_ gestureReconizer: UILongPressGestureRecognizer)
    {

        let location = gestureReconizer.location(in: mapview)
        let coordinate = mapview.convert(location,toCoordinateFrom: mapview)

        // Add annotation:
        let annotation = MKPointAnnotation()
        annotation.coordinate = coordinate
        mapview.addAnnotation(annotation)
    }

Swift 4:

 @IBOutlet weak var mapView: MKMapView!

 func handleLongPress (gestureRecognizer: UILongPressGestureRecognizer) {
    if gestureRecognizer.state == UIGestureRecognizerState.began {
        let touchPoint: CGPoint = gestureRecognizer.location(in: mapView)
        let newCoordinate: CLLocationCoordinate2D = mapView.convert(touchPoint, toCoordinateFrom: mapView)
        addAnnotationOnLocation(pointedCoordinate: newCoordinate)
    }
}

func addAnnotationOnLocation(pointedCoordinate: CLLocationCoordinate2D {
    let annotation = MKPointAnnotation()
    annotation.coordinate = pointedCoordinate
    annotation.title = "Loading..."
    annotation.subtitle = "Loading..."
    mapView.addAnnotation(annotation)
}

For swift 3.0

let gestureRecognizer = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(self.handleTap(_:)))
gestureRecognizer.delegate = self
mapView.addGestureRecognizer(gestureRecognizer)

func handleTap(_ gestureReconizer: UILongPressGestureRecognizer) {

    let location = gestureReconizer.locationInView(mapView)
    let coordinate = mapView.convertPoint(location,toCoordinateFromView: mapView)

    // Add annotation:
    let annotation = MKPointAnnotation()
    annotation.coordinate = coordinate
    mapView.addAnnotation(annotation)
}
