Is there any way to reload the source for the added tile layer?

[KostyaLocal]

If I delete the layer and the source, the blinking occurs. I found that if I change tileUrl of source in js MapBox, it will reload, but there is no access to source object in the controller in maplibre.

This issue needs more clarification and context in order to be understood and maybe resolved.

In principle, we could add a generic setSourceProperty method to MaplibreMapController, similar to the setLayerProperty method added in #303, then you could use that to update the tileUrl and reload the source (assuming that also works in the native libraries).

I tried adding such a method, but it seems that

• on web, there is no generic setSourceProperty method like for layer properties, instead we would need to implement/generate basically a big switch statement to set the correct properties (like we do for layer and source properties for android/iOS in LayerPropertyConverter and SourcePropertyConverter --> this would be feasible
• on android, it seems that we can only update the url for most source types (which would suffice for your use case but not the generic method I had in mind)
• on iOS, I can't find any way to update a source's properties, not even the url

So while the generic updateSourceProperty method I had in mind doesn't seem possible (at least right now), it may be possible able to implement

• either a setSourceUrl method if we can find a way to set a source's url on MapLibre iOS,
• or a refreshSource method if we find another way to force reload a source on iOS (or are willing to implement the method on iOS with just removing and re-adding the source)

I'd really appreciate it. The case is very useful to redraw the map when the poi layer on the server has changed.

I'd really appreciate this as well, I'm looking for a way to update the tileUrl and this would be exactly what I need.
