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.
