Firemonkey: How can I open native IOS maps from my app?

Question

What I need to do is just open and send an string to IOS native map. The string contains the adress.

I found this code that work fine on android, but just doesn't work on IOS, why?

function OpenNavigation(const Q: string; const Coord: TLocationCoord2D): Boolean;
var
  CoordString: String;
begin
  //Open in Google Maps
  {$IFDEF ANDROID}
  exit(OpenURL('http://maps.google.com/?q=' + Q));
  {$ELSE}

  //In iOS, if Google Maps is installed, use it, otherwise, use Apple Maps
  //If we have coordinates, use them as the start address
  {$IFDEF IOS}
  exit(OpenURL('http://maps.apple.com/?daddr=' + Q));
  //Get a string of the longitute and latitute seperated by a comma if set
  if (Coord.Latitude <> 0.0) or (Coord.Longitude <> 0.0) then
  begin
    CoordString := Coord.Latitude.ToString + ',' + Coord.Longitude.ToString;
  end
  else begin
    CoordString := '';
  end;
  if not OpenURL('comgooglemaps://?daddr=' + Q) then
  begin
    if (0.0 < CoordString.Length) then
    begin
      exit(OpenURL('http://maps.apple.com/?daddr=' + Q + '&saddr=loc:' + CoordString));
    end
    else begin
      exit(OpenURL('http://maps.apple.com/?daddr=' + Q));
    end;
  end
  else begin
    exit(true);
  end;
  {$ELSE}
  //Unsupported platform
  exit(false);
  {$ENDIF IOS}
  {$ENDIF ANDROID}
end;

EDIT: The version that I'm using is RadStudio 10.1 Berlin

EDIT²: I changed twice the tag 'dictionary' to 'map' but change back to dictionary idk why.

To open Maps App from another iOS App, you can do following :

UIApplication.sharedApplication().openURL(NSURL(string: "http://maps.apple.com/?address=yourAddressHere")!)

You can also get CLLocation location using CLGeocoder

Please also look into this stack overflow's answer for further details.

Thanks dude, but this code doesn't work on Firemonkey, this is Swift i guess. Thanks anyway... – Diego Bittencourt Nov 04 '16 at 11:33

I have no experience in FireMonkey, but may be you can change the url to access maps, and use "http://maps.apple.com/?address=yourAddressHere" Also have al look into this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23877683/how-can-i-launch-the-navigation-app-on-ios-and-android-with-rad-studio-firemonke – Munahil Nov 04 '16 at 11:40
Didn't worked. I don't know what to do anymore, I can't find an answer on the internet. That's discouraging... – Diego Bittencourt Nov 04 '16 at 16:37

I found the answer:

OpenURL('http://maps.apple.com/?daddr=YourAddress');
