Hey [FIRST NAME GOES HERE], SwiftUI Animation Tips Inside!
|
Yesterday I streamed for 4 hours and got stuck trying to get to the bottom of an issue with implicit animations. One line of code was causing the problem... When it comes to animations in SwiftUI ... they're great until they don't work like you expect. SwiftUI Animation Glitches Watch my latest video and learn how to better control implicit animations on state changes. SwiftUI Animation Bugs? Here's How I Fixed Them! I did this same thing when I animated all the record button states for the GoPro Quik app. To be honest, I don't fully understand how to fully control this type of issue. I show what works, but it is a lot of trial and error.
The alternative is to create the layout and manually calculate all the animation states and offsets.

Hey Reader, Last night, I had a breakthrough. The weeks of effort exploring different options finally paid off – it felt fantastic. I was tired, but accomplished. Below, I will share three stories about the unknown and how to push through even if you're unsure what to do. Programming can be hard. It can be fun. And it can be hard again. I have been busy traveling and had family visiting. And I have been wrestling with build issues around legacy code. Sometimes when you learn something new,...
