How can I convert a String address to CLLocation coordinates with Swift? I have no code yet, I looked for a solution but I didn't find anyone yet.

Thanks.

This is pretty easy.

    let address = "1 Infinite Loop, Cupertino, CA 95014"

    let geoCoder = CLGeocoder()
    geoCoder.geocodeAddressString(address) { (placemarks, error) in
        guard
            let placemarks = placemarks,
            let location = placemarks.first?.location
        else {
            // handle no location found
            return
        }

        // Use your location
    }

You will also need to add and import CoreLocation framework.
