How to present a view controller modally?

To present a view controller modally in UIKit, you can use the present(_:animated:completion:) method. Here is a basic example:

let viewControllerToPresent = YourViewController()
self.present(viewControllerToPresent, animated: true, completion: nil)

For more advanced transitions, such as using a zoom transition, you can refer to the session Enhance your UI animations and transitions from WWDC 2024. This session covers how to adopt zoom transitions in UIKit, including specifying the transition style and connecting it to a source view.

Here is a brief overview of the steps involved in adopting a zoom transition:

Specify the Transition Style: Add the navigation transition style modifier to the presented view to specify the zoom transition.
Connect to a Source View: Connect this modifier to a source view so that the system knows which view to zoom from.

For a detailed explanation, you can watch the chapter on Zoom transitions in UIKit in the session "Enhance your UI animations and transitions".
