```

## Discussion

The value of this property is <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/false> for custom transitions — transitions where the view controller’s [`modalPresentationStyle`](/documentation/UIKit/UIViewController/modalPresentationStyle) property is set to [`UIModalPresentationStyle.custom`](/documentation/UIKit/UIModalPresentationStyle/custom) — even when the transition is started by a call to the [`animateTransition(using:)`](/documentation/UIKit/UIViewControllerAnimatedTransitioning/animateTransition(using:)) method. In nearly all other cases, the value of this property is <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true>.
