New animations in SwiftUI

Apple introduced several new features and enhancements for animations in SwiftUI at WWDC 2024. Here are some highlights:

1. New Animation Presets for SF Symbols: SwiftUI now includes new animation presets such as the wiggle, breathe, and rotate effects for SF Symbols. These effects allow for more dynamic and attention-grabbing animations. For more details, you can refer to the session What’s new in SwiftUI.

2. Zoom Transition: A new zoom transition has been introduced, which allows a cell to morph into the incoming view. This transition is continuously interactive, enabling users to drag it around during the transition. This feature enhances the sense of continuity in your app. More information can be found in the session Enhance your UI animations and transitions.

3. SwiftUI and UIKit Interoperability: 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 feature is particularly useful for creating fluid gesture-driven animations. For more details, see the session Enhance your UI animations and transitions.

4. Improved Scrolling Enhancements: SwiftUI now offers more control over scroll views, allowing developers to react to changes in content, offsets, and content size. This includes detecting when a view's visibility changes due to scrolling, enabling the creation of experiences centered around content moving on or off-screen. More information is available in the session What’s new in SwiftUI.

These updates make SwiftUI animations more powerful and versatile, allowing for more seamless integration with other frameworks and more dynamic user interfaces.
