Booking rides with Maps

Hi,

I am displaying a list of available ride options in the Rides tab of apple maps using INListRideOptionsIntentHandling. If I give empty array of rides, Maps automatically shows "No rides are currently available" message. Similar to that message, I have to show a message like "Sing in to App to request a ride", If user is not signed in to my app. What option I should use to display this message ?

I doubt there is any option to do that. That would be a poor experience. The app is supposed to provide a short list of rides available. There is a disclaimer field available for additional information. But if the only information that the app provides to maps is a request to login, users are just going to delete the app.

By "this message", I meant "Sing in to App to request a ride".

Yes, My app is also providing the short list of rides available. For testing purpose, I gave empty array to check what message is displayed in Maps. Uber is displaying this message "Sing in to Uber to request a ride", if user is not signed in to Uber. If user is signed in, then uber is providing the list of rides available. So, I think it is possible to change the message displayed in the Maps.
