@Mtehabsim can you please share an example of the style you define for your layer?

[Mtehabsim]

@am2222 Sure

map.addLayer({
                    'id': 'points',
                    'type': 'symbol',
                    'source': 'pmTileSourceName',
                    "source-layer": "vector",
                    "filter": ["in", "$type", "Point"],
                    'layout': {
                        'icon-image': 'cat',
                        'icon-size': 0.25
                    }

@Mtehabsim
unfortunetly mapbox only supports symbols for vector and geojson sources not custom source types. we might be able to monkey patch it

@am2222 I see this issue is more than 1 year old already, I was wondering if we have any updates?
I need to use symbol layers with pmtiles in my app and noticed it was failing.
Thanks!
