At WWDC 2024, Apple introduced several enhancements to SwiftUI animations and transitions. Here are some key highlights:
-
New Transitions: SwiftUI now includes a new zoom transition, which allows a cell to morph into the incoming view. This transition is continuously interactive, enabling users to grab and drag it around during the transition. This feature enhances visual continuity across your app.
-
SwiftUI and UIKit Integration: SwiftUI animations can now be used to animate UIKit and AppKit views. This integration allows developers to use the full suite of SwiftUI animation types, including custom animations, to animate UIKit views. This is particularly useful for creating fluid gesture-driven animations.
-
Animating Representables: SwiftUI provides new APIs for bridging animations started in SwiftUI into UIKit and AppKit, ensuring animations run perfectly in sync even across framework boundaries. This is especially powerful when continuous gestures are involved.
-
Gesture-Driven Animations: The new APIs support gesture-driven animations, maintaining continuous velocity across interactive and non-interactive parts of your animation.
For more detailed information, you can refer to the session Enhance your UI animations and transitions (08:10) which covers SwiftUI animation in depth.
SwiftUI essentials
Join us on a tour of SwiftUI, Apple’s declarative user interface framework. Learn essential concepts for building apps in SwiftUI, like views, state variables, and layout. Discover the breadth of APIs for building fully featured experiences and crafting unique custom components. Whether you’re brand new to SwiftUI or an experienced developer, you’ll learn how to take advantage of what SwiftUI has to offer when building great apps.
What’s new in UIKit
Explore everything new in UIKit, including tab and document launch experiences, transitions, and text and input changes. We’ll also discuss better-than-ever interoperability between UIKit and SwiftUI animations and gestures, as well as general improvements throughout UIKit.
