An animation hitch refers to a noticeable pause or stutter in an animation, which can disrupt the smoothness and fluidity of the user experience. This can occur when the animation does not maintain continuous velocity or when there are delays in processing the animation frames.

For more details on how to enhance your UI animations and transitions to avoid such issues, you can refer to the session Enhance your UI animations and transitions from WWDC 2024. This session discusses techniques like using interactive spring animations to maintain continuous velocity, which can help in creating smoother animations and avoiding hitches.
