Answer 1

I tried it with the simple code

I have created a simple code to fix this issue in swift 4.

Here is my code,

Override your viewForAnnotaion method something like this

func mapView(_ mapView: MKMapView, viewFor annotation: MKAnnotation) -> MKAnnotationView? {

    var annotationView = self.mapView.dequeueReusableAnnotationView(withIdentifier: "Pin")

    if annotationView == nil{
        annotationView = MKAnnotationView(annotation: annotation, reuseIdentifier: "Pin")
    }else{
        annotationView?.annotation = annotation
    }

    annotationView?.canShowCallout = false

    guard !annotation.isKind(of: MKUserLocation.self) else {
        //for the custom image on current location
            annotationView?.image = #imageLiteral(resourceName: "currentLocationPin")
            return annotationView
    }

 annotationView.image = UIImage(named: "pinGreen")

    let scaleTransform = CGAffineTransform(scaleX: 0.0, y: 0.0)  // Scale
    UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.2, animations: {
        annotationView?.transform = scaleTransform
        annotationView?.layoutIfNeeded()
    }) { (isCompleted) in

        // Nested block of animation
        UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.3, animations: {
            annotationView?.alpha = 1.0
            annotationView?.transform = CGAffineTransform(scaleX: 1.0, y: 1.0)
            AnimationUtility.viewSlideInFromBottom(toTop: annotationView!)
            annotationView?.layoutIfNeeded()
        })
    }

    return annotationView
}
