Description

New Feature

I would like to request a functionality to move point annotation with animation. I am not sure whether its already available on V10 but I couldnt find it in the docs.
It could just be a simple animation at start, using UIView's animate API with duration and at later stage perhaps add some more functionalities.

Why

One of the use case is to provide a smooth user experience to the end users when they are tracking some deliveries or their drivers coming to pick them up on a ride-hailing app.

Thanks

Research direction

Start by locating the point annotation API and its current update behavior in the Mapbox Maps iOS codebase. Confirm how annotation position changes are applied, then define and test the requested animated movement using UIView's animate API, including the duration and completion behavior described in the issue.
