react native maps - showsMyLocationButton not working on IOS using MapKit

Question

If I use enter the provider prop in MapView component as provider="google"..then my OIS app happily uses google maps and the showsMyLocationButton works (i.e. a button is present that takes map back to where user is).

However Ive found that the map navigation is much better on IOS if you use MapKit instead of google maps, so I remove the provider prop.....but then I lose the location button.
Below is my MapView component

<MapView
  region={this.props.locationOfInterest}
  showsUserLocation
  showsMyLocationButton
  style={[styles.map, {marginBottom: this.state.mapMargin}]}
  onMapReady={this.setMargin}
  onRegionChangeComplete={this.props._onMoveMap}>
</MapView>

Xcode version = 13.3.1

platform :ios, '11.0'

As per @Javascript Hupp Technologies comment......this functionality simply doesnt exist when using MapKit
