To animate a segmented control, you can refer to the session Enhance your UI animations and transitions. This session covers how to bridge animations between SwiftUI and UIKit, which is useful if your segmented control is implemented using UIKit.

Here are some key points from the session:

  1. Using SwiftUI Animations in UIKit: You can use SwiftUI animation types to animate UIKit views. This allows you to leverage the full suite of SwiftUI animations, including custom animations, to animate UIKit views.

  2. Animating Representables: If you have a UIKit view embedded in SwiftUI using UIViewRepresentable, you can animate it by bridging the animation from SwiftUI to UIKit. This involves using the new animate method on the context to apply any animation on the transaction associated with the update to any UIView changes.

  3. Gesture-Driven Animations: For more complex interactions, such as dragging elements, you can use gesture-driven animations. SwiftUI animations can preserve velocity, making it easier to create fluid, continuous animations.

For a detailed walkthrough, you can start watching the session from Enhance your UI animations and transitions (10:23).
