To create animations, you can explore several tools and techniques presented at WWDC. Here are some key sessions and concepts that might help you:

  1. SF Symbols 6:

    • Animation Presets: SF Symbols 6 introduces new universal animation presets like wiggle, rotate, and breathe. These presets can help you create expressive animations to elevate your app's interface. For example, the wiggle preset can highlight changes or call to actions (What’s new in SF Symbols 6).
    • Repeating Animations: You can set animations to play once, repeat with a delay, or continuously until explicitly stopped (What’s new in SF Symbols 6).
  2. Reality Composer Pro:

  3. SwiftUI and UIKit:

    • SwiftUI Animations: SwiftUI provides a suite of animations that can be used to animate UIKit and AppKit views. This includes new animate functions on UIView and NSAnimationContext, which allow for in-process SwiftUI animations (What’s new in SwiftUI).
    • Zoom Transitions: These transitions are continuously interactive and can enhance visual continuity across your app. They are particularly useful for large cells that zoom in (Enhance your UI animations and transitions).

For more detailed guidance, you can refer to the following sessions:

These sessions cover a wide range of animation techniques and tools that can help you create engaging and dynamic animations in your applications.

What’s new in SwiftUI

What’s new in SwiftUI

Learn how you can use SwiftUI to build great apps for any Apple platform. Explore a fresh new look and feel for tabs and documents on iPadOS. Improve your window management with new windowing APIs, and gain more control over immersive spaces and volumes in your visionOS apps. We’ll also take you through other exciting refinements that help you make expressive charts, customize and layout text, and so much more.

What’s new in SF Symbols 6

Explore the latest updates to SF Symbols, Apple’s library of iconography designed to integrate seamlessly with San Francisco, the system font for all Apple platforms. Learn how the new Wiggle, Rotate, and Breathe animation presets can bring vitality to your interface. To get the most out of this session, we recommend first watching “What’s new in SF Symbols 5” from WWDC23.

Compose interactive 3D content in Reality Composer Pro

Compose interactive 3D content in Reality Composer Pro

Discover how the Timeline view in Reality Composer Pro can bring your 3D content to life. Learn how to create an animated story in which characters and objects interact with each other and the world around them using inverse kinematics, blend shapes, and skeletal poses. We’ll also show you how to use built-in and custom actions, sequence your actions, apply triggers, and implement natural movements.
