Choosing a location on MapKit and get latitude and longitude

I implemented to get the current location by CoreLocation & CLLocation.

In another UIViewController, I want to choose a location on MapKit and get latitude and longitude from MapKit. I searched a lot but I found a few courses using Objective-C.

Or is there any course in Swift?

class CustomLocationVC: UIViewController, MKMapViewDelegate, UIGestureRecognizerDelegate {

@IBOutlet weak var mapKitC: MKMapView!

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    mapKitC.delegate = self
    let gestureZ = UILongPressGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(self.revealRegionDetailsWithLongPressOnMap(sender:)))
    view.addGestureRecognizer(gestureZ)
}

@IBAction func revealRegionDetailsWithLongPressOnMap(sender: UILongPressGestureRecognizer) {
    if sender.state != UIGestureRecognizerState.began { return }
    let touchLocation = sender.location(in: mapKitC)
    let locationCoordinate = mapKitC.convert(touchLocation, toCoordinateFrom: mapKitC)
    print("Tapped at lat: \(locationCoordinate.latitude) long: \(locationCoordinate.longitude)")
}

}

This is what I have so far but it doesn't work...

First you need to add your UILongPressGestureRecognizer to your MKMapView instead of your ViewController.View

Replace your viewDidLoad method by this one 

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    mapKitC.delegate = self
    let gestureZ = UILongPressGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(self.revealRegionDetailsWithLongPressOnMap(sender:)))
    mapKitC.addGestureRecognizer(gestureZ)
}

After that your method should work as intended

Hope this helps
