zeeshankhan / Hacking UIView Animation Blocks.md
Created August 1, 2022 04:16 — forked from nicklockwood/Hacking UIView Animation Blocks.md
This article was originally written for objc.io issue 12, but didn't make the cut. It was intended to be read in the context of the other articles, so if you aren't familiar with concepts such as CALayer property animations and the role of actionForKey:, read the articles in that issue first.

Hacking UIView animation blocks for fun and profit

In this article, I'm going to explore a way that we can create views that implement custom Core Animation property animations in a natural way.

As we know, layers in iOS come in two flavours: Backing layers and hosted layers. The only difference between them is that the view acts as the layer delegate for its backing layer, but not for any hosted sublayers.

In order to implement the UIView transactional animation blocks, UIView disables all animations by default and then re-enables them individually as required. It does this using the actionForLayer:forKey: method.

Somewhat strangely, UIView doesn't enable animations for every property that CALayer does by default. A notable example is the layer.contents property, which is animatable by default for a hosted layer, but cannot be animated using a UIView animation block.

configureWebView()

Firebase iOS Version breakdown
// How to:
// 1. Go in the Firebase Analytics Dashboard
// 2. Filter iOS Platform only
// 3. Scroll down, select `Device` under the "What is your audience like?" widget
// 4. Export the CSV data (top right of the corner, there's a `...` menu with Download CSV option)
// 5. Open the file and select the iOS breakdown raw data
// 6. Replace your data with the sample data in this script
// 7. Run the script in a Xcode Playground
// 8. See the terminal output
