To achieve animated updates in a compositional layout, you can utilize the new features introduced in UIKit and SwiftUI. In UIKit, the UI update link is a new feature in iOS 18 that simplifies implementing complex animations requiring periodic UI updates. It offers automatic view tracking and low latency mode for better performance and battery efficiency. You can see an example of a view being animated using the UI update link in the session What’s new in UIKit.
In SwiftUI, animations build on top of data-driven updates. By wrapping state changes with animations, you can apply default or custom transitions to your views. This is discussed in the session SwiftUI essentials.
For more advanced use cases, such as bridging animations between SwiftUI and UIKit, you can refer to the session Enhance your UI animations and transitions, which explains how to synchronize animations across different frameworks.
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.
Enhance your UI animations and transitions
Explore how to adopt the zoom transition in navigation and presentations to increase the sense of continuity in your app, and learn how to animate UIKit views with SwiftUI animations to make it easier to build animations that feel continuous.
Create custom visual effects with SwiftUI
Discover how to create stunning visual effects in SwiftUI. Learn to build unique scroll effects, rich color treatments, and custom transitions. We’ll also explore advanced graphic effects using Metal shaders and custom text rendering.
Demystify SwiftUI containers
Learn about the capabilities of SwiftUI container views and build a mental model for how subviews are managed by their containers. Leverage new APIs to build your own custom containers, create modifiers to customize container content, and give your containers that extra polish that helps your apps stand out.
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.
