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.
Have you had issues with SwiftUI animations? Hit reply and tell me about your experiences. Talk soon, Paul Solt P.S. I experimented live streaming yesterday with Meld Studio. It worked great, way better than my experiences setting up OBS, but green screens are complicated. If you want to stream video, you can watch how I configured the Chroma Key here. |

I'm targeting macOS 15+ and Swift 6.2 using AVFoundation and Core ML. The new OpenAI coding...

Hey Reader, It's been a while since I sent an email. We had our second baby girl!It has been crazy here with a newborn. Our new daughter is 14 weeks old and we have a three year old toddler . . . So things have been crazy, and I haven't had time to write. But I do have some updates. I've been spending a lot of late nights and early mornings with AI, specifically Claude Code and now codex. I want to share the journey. I haven't had time to write or make videos because I have been knee-deep in...
