To create a gesture-driven transition, you can utilize the unified gesture systems in UIKit and SwiftUI, which now adhere to consistent rules. In iOS 18, you can specify dependencies between gestures across both frameworks. This allows for seamless coordination of gestures, which is essential for creating smooth, gesture-driven transitions.
For example, in a SwiftUI hierarchy nested within a UIKit one, you can manage gestures like a single tap in UIKit and a double tap in SwiftUI by setting a failure requirement between these gesture recognizers. This ensures that gestures are recognized in the desired order and do not interfere with each other.
Additionally, you can enhance your UI animations and transitions by using the new Zoom transition, which is continuously interactive. This allows users to grab and drag elements during the transition, providing a more fluid and responsive experience.
For more detailed guidance, you can refer to the session What’s new in UIKit (04:24) and Enhance your UI animations and transitions (11:20) from WWDC 2024.
