How to present loading progress in a UIViewController?

To present loading progress in a UIViewController, you can consider using UI elements that do not distract from the main content, such as a progress bar or a spinner. In the context of game design, as mentioned in the session "Design advanced games for Apple platforms," it's often best to hide download progress from users unless necessary. If you need to show progress, consider placing it in a relevant area like a level selection screen, allowing users to continue interacting with other parts of the app while waiting.

For more detailed guidance on UI animations and transitions, you might find the session "Enhance your UI animations and transitions" helpful. This session covers various techniques for animating UI elements in both UIKit and SwiftUI, which can be useful when implementing loading indicators.

If you are interested in learning more about transitions and animations, you can check out the chapter on "UIKit view controller life cycle and callbacks" in the session Enhance your UI animations and transitions (04:15).
