In Mapbox how can you toggle layers from a style on iOS?

I'm trying to toggle layers in iOS for MapBox but can't figure out how it's done. I've been looking at this example:

https://www.mapbox.com/mapbox.js/example/v1.0.0/layers/

But I can't figure out how to use this file with the map view in Xcode. Can anyone give me any info on how this is done? Or whether it's possible?

Just a bit of background on the setup, I have a mapview created and running fine. I then have numerous GPX trails which have been exported in to TileSets and added to a style as a layer. I have a layer called 'where_trail' which I want to toggle on and off with a button. Currently all the layers are drawing on the map, I just can't figure out how to access the layers and hide them. Can anyone offer me some guidance on this please?

Thanks

That example is for Mapbox.js and written in JavaScript: it's intended for use with our JavaScript framework, which, if you're in Swift, Objc, and Xcode, is not what you're using.

There isn't yet a full-fledged example of switching styles for the iOS framework, but the property to pay attention to is the styleURL - you can assign the value of that map property to a new NSURL, which you can get from Studio or from a default style. Wire this up to an action and it should do exactly what you're looking for.
