IOS UIMapView "legal" link clickable when outside of clip bounds?

Issue

I have a mapview that is being clipped into a circle by the following code.

    roundMapView.layer.cornerRadius = roundMapView.frame.size.width/2
    roundMapView.clipsToBounds = true
    roundMapView.layer.borderWidth = 5.0

The problem I'm having is that outside of the circle, if I tap in the bottom left area, it will send me to the "legal" disclaimer that appears on the map. It seems the map's "Legal" link is clickable, even if it isn't inside the clipped circular mask.

Any way to stop this from happening? It is right next to a button on my UI and is really annoying when it is clicked accidentally.

EDIT: Uploaded two images: One is of the "legal" link I am talking about, the other shows a red dashed circle where the link is clickable even though it isn't in the clip bounds of the mapView.

Solution

Disclaimer: Not an answer to the question, but could be a serious reason to reconsider whole approach and make question invalid.

You are trying to hide legal information from users. I believe it is something that Apple would try to avoid by all costs. I also would not suggest to do so, as it may have legal implications for developer as well as not pass Apple Review.

JFYI The way how Apple may avoided clipToBounds limitations described here — interaction beyond bounds of uiview

What I would suggest is actually to move link as described here How do you move the legal sign in mapview
