Yes, there are several new animations introduced at WWDC 2024. Here are some highlights:
-
SF Symbols 6:
- Wiggle: This preset can be used to highlight changes or call to actions that might be overlooked. It can add dynamic emphasis to an interaction or reinforce what the symbol is representing.
- Rotate: This preset allows parts of a symbol to spin around a designated anchor point.
- Breathe: This preset smoothly scales a symbol up and down to indicate ongoing activity.
- Magic Replace: Enhancements to the existing replace animation, where symbols smoothly animate badges and slashes.
You can learn more about these in the session What’s new in SF Symbols 6.
-
Enhance your UI animations and transitions:
- Zoom Transitions: These transitions are continuously interactive and can be used to enhance visual continuity across your app. They are particularly useful for large cells that zoom in to fill the screen.
For more details, check out the session Enhance your UI animations and transitions.
-
Reality Composer Pro:
- Blend Shape Animation: This allows blending between a series of different shapes.
- Skeletal Poses: This feature lets you animate an object by rotating the joints to pose the object into various positions.
More information can be found in the session Compose interactive 3D content in Reality Composer Pro.
These new animations and enhancements provide more tools to create expressive and dynamic interfaces in your apps.
