UINavigationController that implements swipe to push/pop in an interactive animation. Just implement the InteractiveNavigation protocol on your ViewControllers you add to the nav stack to get custom transitions. Or implement a single animation and return it instead of the nil's in the UIViewControllerTransitioningDelegate and all transitions wil…

Does showNext() function have popViewController function?

While using this it's giving me crash that presentAnimation is nil.

How Can i solve this issue, Please help me

My code doesn't have this line animation = currentViewController.presentAnimation!. So I'm guessing that is code that you wrote, and the problem that you are having is that you are doing a force unwrap on presentAnimation and in your currentViewController its nil. The ! (force unwrap) operator in Swift is very dangerous and will cause this crash if the property you are unwrapping is actually nil.

Could you provide an example of how a ViewController would implement the InteractiveNavigation protocol ?

Just added TutorialViewController.swift and TutorialAnimation.swift files to show how I've used this. No guarantee that they work since they are just copy/pasted from a project I implemented them in.

@eoghain awesome, thanks a lot !

I just set my root view controller on CustomInteractiveAnimationNavigationController. So now can you please let me know, on root view controller how can i push my second with just using swipe. I don't want to use segue or button click to go into next view controller ?

@MiteshiOS The CustomInteractiveAnimationNavigationController will call either the showPrevious or showNext methods when the user swipes. So you'll need to implement those methods to do the correct pushing/popping of the viewControllers. I used Segues because when I build this it was easiest to setup all of my screens in IB and just link them all together via segues. You should be able to do programatic push/pop calls just like any other NavigationController in those methods.

@ eoghain Ok thanks for the information. Just let me know is there any way so i can derived showPrevious or showNext methods into my root view controller ?

try this - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ccrama/Slide-iOS/dc77f57db0173e49a24f5c0a7987bead063b152e/Slide%20for%20Reddit/SwipeForwardNavigationController.swift

@eoghain this works really well, thank you.
However, if you have say a UITableView on the underlying view controller, then cell row swipes will not work. Ideally you want the cell swipe (actually a pan) to be recognized and handled before the nav controller. I've experimented with shouldBeRequiredtoFailBy etc. but without luck. Thoughts on how to support this?
