In the session titled "Enhance your UI animations and transitions" from WWDC 2024, there is a discussion about using SwiftUI animation types to animate UIKit and AppKit views. This new capability in iOS 18 allows developers to use the full suite of SwiftUI animation types, including custom animations, to animate UIKit views. When working with CA layers, it's important to note that the existing UIKit API generates a CA animation added to the view's layer, whereas SwiftUI animations directly animate the view's layer presentation values without creating a CA animation. This means that while the presentation values are reflected in the presentation layer, the underlying mechanism differs between the two approaches.

For more details, you can refer to the session Enhance your UI animations and transitions (08:34).
