I have been looking at pubnub but it requires licence payment etc. I was wondering if there is way to implement maps in swift 3 iOS where location of users are updated by respective app users realtime,in a way realtime movement can be shown to a user about friends near his area say 1km radius. I heard socket.io is the best approach. I am unable to find any useful content to work upon in iOS using native Xcode.

PubNub does support the real-time mapping. There is an open source framework called EON that you can try out for yourself:
https://www.pubnub.com/developers/eon/
https://github.com/pubnub/eon-map
PubNub is free to use up to a million messages per month and one hundred daily devices. Then it's tiered up from there. PubNub is a globally distributed network which means that when your application gains more traction, PubNub will scale with you.
