Add Apple Mapkit provider

[lathamios]

Apple has recently released it's own js geocoding solution, mapkit.js with generous call limits. It would be great if this could be added as a provider

Hello @lathamios ,

That would be interesting indeed. Could you provide a Pull Request with this ? Or at least documentation on the API ?

I found this (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/mapkitjs/mapkit/geocoder) but nothing about the API behind it.

I'll have a look at this when I have some spare time.

I did some research, i'm waiting for apple to approve my dev account before I can submit a PR.

So unfortunately I can't pick this one up ATM as getting an apple developer account requires an apple device :disappointed:.

If someone with an apple device is willing to create a developer account and key for me to test/develop with i'll still have a go.

Anyone have an apple developer account? 😄
