• Fix a crash when modifying a layer at runtime whose ID matches a layer in an imported style.

Dependencies

• Update gl-native to v11.24.2, common to v24.24.2.

11.24.1 May 19, 2026

Features ✨ and improvements 🏁

• Expose FeaturesetFeature.originalFeature property.
• Add Vulkan rendering backend support (Public Preview). The Vulkan backend is published as a separate artifact (android-core-vulkan / android-core-vulkan-ndk27) that replaces the default OpenGL-based android-core. To use it, replace the default core dependency with the Vulkan variant. In your build.gradle.kts add:

  configurations.all {
      resolutionStrategy.dependencySubstitution {
          all {
              val requested = requested as? ModuleComponentSelector
              if (requested?.group == "com.mapbox.maps" &&
                  (requested.module == "android-core" || requested.module == "android-core-ndk27")
              ) {
                  val vulkanModule = requested.module.replace("android-core", "android-core-vulkan")
                  useTarget("com.mapbox.maps:$vulkanModule:${requested.version}")
              }
          }
      }
  }

  Known limitations:
  • Android 12 (API 31) or later is recommended. Earlier Android versions may exhibit GPU driver bugs, particularly on devices with Adreno GPUs.
  • Only arm64-v8a is supported.
  • No automatic fallback to OpenGL.
  • MapWidget (Android Auto) is not yet supported.
  • Custom layer API is not yet supported.
  • MapView.snapshot() is not yet supported.
  • Rain precipitation effect is not rendered (snow works).
• Add support for rendering landmark models with level-of-detail (LOD), improving performance and memory use for distant 3D landmarks.
• Improve additive blend mode rendering on line layers with high data density, and add the line-blend-additive-clamp style property for opting out of dynamic density mapping with a fixed value.
• Set a default ambient cache quota of 1 GB and over-evict when the quota is exceeded to reduce eviction churn.
• TileStore.create(path) is no longer supported (deprecated since v11.19). Only one TileStore instance per process is now supported.

Bug fixes 🐞

• Fix a crash that could occur when the map is destroyed while asynchronous operations are still in progress.
• Fix the NetworkRestriction.DISALLOW_EXPENSIVE network option not being respected, which could cause map requests to proceed over metered connections when configured otherwise.
• Fix isMetricUnits/distanceUnits sync in ScaleBar settings DSL generated by KSP codegen.
• Fix style import config property updates being lost when applied while a concurrent import URL change was loading.
• Fix incorrect color output when applying a color LUT to premultiplied colors.
• Fix incorrect symbol elevation rendering on Mali GPUs (e.g. Google Pixel 9 Pro XL) caused by insufficient shader precision for large z-offset values.
• Fix a crash in the vector tile layer cache when a sibling tile was destroyed during cache reuse.
• Internal fixes and performance improvements.

Dependencies

• Update gl-native to v11.24.1, common to v24.24.1.

Packaging

• MapboxNavigationCore now requires MapboxMaps v11.24.1
• MapboxNavigationCore now requires MapboxNavigationNative v324.24.1

Audio

• Fixed a possible hang during MapboxSpeechSynthesizer initialization.

Routing

• Fixed a race condition that could lead to a crash in FasterRouteController.

Map

• Fixed an issue where panning on the Mapbox map logo or info button could set the navigation camera to the idle state.

Other changes

• NavigationStatus processing is now serialized on a dedicated actor.
• Fixes a race condition in MapMatchingState updates that could lead to a crash in CurrentValueSubject.send.

11.21.5 May 15, 2026

Features and improvements

• Support additive blend mode with clamped density by setting the line-blend-additive-clamp property.
• Improve rendering performance by reducing per-frame matrix allocations.
• Improve rendering performance via parallel shader compilation on supported devices.
• Improve rendering performance by advancing shader precompilation.
• Improve shadow rendering performance.
• Improve vector icon loading performance.
• Improve initial load by skipping redundant config-related style layers updates in Web Workers.
• Improve initial load by rescheduling shader precompilation to occur during browser idle time after the map's idle event.
• Improve model processing performance.
• Improve performance and memory footprint by streamlining communication between the main thread and Web Workers.
• Reduce first-interaction jank by optimizing shader compilation pipeline behavior.
• Optimize expression parsing performance.
• Improve an error messaging for the line-trim-offset property without lineMetrics.

Bug fixes 🐞

• Fix LUT to properly work with premultiplied color.
• Fix a potential memory leak and crash occurring when a map was destroyed.
• Fix an issue where cross-fragments config values were not correctly updated.
