leftCalloutAccessoryView getter not called

[jonathan.nyc]

I'm running a subclass of MKAnnotationView. Nearly everything I've
coded has been confirmed as working.

The problem is I've coded an override of leftCalloutAccessoryView,
just to confirm the method is being called, pasted below. The output
from NSLog isn't appearing.

I've set canShowCallout = YES, and the callout appears without the
left accessory.

Any tips as to what the problem is getting this method to run and the
left accessory to appear?

Thanks,
Jonathan

-(UIView *) leftCalloutAccessoryView{

NSLog(@"left callout accessory view getter method called");
return [super leftCalloutAccessoryView];
}

I've not done that before, but are you certain you are returning your own class?

- (MKAnnotationView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)theMapView viewForAnnotation:(id <MKAnnotation>)annotation

The leftCalloutAccessoryView is defined as UIView * in Apple's
documentation:
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/MapKit/Reference/MKAnnotationView_Class/Reference/Reference.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40008207

which matches my own method definition.

right, so you've used the first API to let the map view present a pin bearing your MKAnnotationView subclass, which you return from the API method, correct?

then, the leftCallout is indeed a view and I don't see why your method would not get called as the view is loaded for the annotation when the user taps on a pin.

are you logging or breaking on the init of your annotation subclass to ensure it is indeed being loaded ?

An instance method that I wrote (not an override) has been confirmed
to run correctly, so I am sure initialization has been completed.
