I'm trying to animate a shape (e.g. a circle) to follow a custom path, and struggling to find the best way of doing this. I've had a look at the animation options from SwiftUI, UIKit and SpriteKit and all seem very limited in what paths you can provide. Given the complexity of my path, I was hoping there'd be a way of providing a set of coordinates in some input file and have the shape follow that, but maybe that's too ambitious. I was wondering if this were even possible, and assuming not, if there were other options I could consider.

I have a navigation controller with two VCs. One VC is pushed onto the NavController, the other is presented on top of the NavController. The presented VC has a relatively complex animation involving a CAEmitter -> Animate birth rate down -> Fade out -> Remove. The pushed VC has an 'inputAccessoryView' and can become first responder. The expected behavior is open presented VC -> Emitter Emits pretty pictures -> emitter stops gracefully. The animation works perfectly. UNLESS I open pushed VC -> Leave -> go to presented VC. In this case when I open the presented VC the emitter emits pretty pictures -> they never stop. (Please do not ask me how long it took to figure this much out 🤬😔) The animation code in question is: let animation = CAKeyframeAnimation(keyPath: #keyPath(CAEmitterLayer.birthRate)) animation.duration = 1 animation.timingFunction = CAMediaTimingFunction(name: .easeIn) animation.values = [1, 0 , 0] animation.keyTimes = [0, 0.5, 1] animation.fillMode = .forwards animation.isRemovedOnCompletion = false emitter.beginTime = CACurrentMediaTime() let now = Date() CATransaction.begin() CATransaction.setCompletionBlock { [weak self] in print("fade beginning -- delta: \(Date().timeIntervalSince(now))") let transition = CATransition() transition.delegate = self transition.type = .fade transition.duration = 1 transition.timingFunction = CAMediaTimingFunction(name: .easeOut) transition.setValue(emitter, forKey: kKey) transition.isRemovedOnCompletion = false emitter.add(transition, forKey: nil) emitter.opacity = 0 } emitter.add(animation, forKey: nil) CATransaction.commit() The delegate method is: extension PresentedVC: CAAnimationDelegate { func animationDidStop(_ anim: CAAnimation, finished flag: Bool) { if let emitter = anim.value(forKey: kKey) as? CALayer { emitter.removeAllAnimations() emitter.removeFromSuperlayer() } else { } } } Here is the pushed VC: class PushedVC: UIViewController { override var canBecomeFirstResponder: Bool { return true } override var canResignFirstResponder: Bool { return true } override var inputAccessoryView: UIView? { return UIView() } } So to reiterate - If I push pushedVC onto the navController, pop it, present PresentedVC the emitters emit, but then the call to emitter.add(animation, forKey: nil) is essentially ignored. The emitter just keeps emitting. Here are some sample happy print statements from the completion block: fade beginning -- delta: 1.016232967376709 fade beginning -- delta: 1.0033869743347168 fade beginning -- delta: 1.0054619312286377 fade beginning -- delta: 1.0080779790878296 fade beginning -- delta: 1.0088880062103271 fade beginning -- delta: 0.9923020601272583 fade beginning -- delta: 0.99943196773529 Here are my findings: The issue presents only when the pushed VC has an inputAccessoryView AND canBecomeFirstResponder is true It does not matter if the inputAccessoryView is UIKit or custom, has size, is visible, or anything. When I dismiss PresentedVC the animation is completed and the print statements show. Here are some unhappy print examples: fade beginning -- delta: 5.003802061080933 fade beginning -- delta: 5.219511032104492 fade beginning -- delta: 5.73025906085968 fade beginning -- delta: 4.330522060394287 fade beginning -- delta: 4.786169052124023 CATransaction.flush() does not fix anything Removing the entire CATransaction block and just calling emitter.add(animation, forKey: nil) similarly does nothing - the birth rate decrease animation does not happen I am having trouble creating a simple demo project where the issue is reproducible (it is 100% reproducible in my code, the entirety of which I'm not going to link here) so I think getting a "solution" is unrealistic. What I would love is if anyone had any suggestions on where else to look? Any ways to debug CAAnimation? I think if I can solve the last bullet - emitter.add(animation, forKey: nil) called w/o a CATransaction - I can break this whole thing. Why would a CAAnimation added directly to the layer which is visible and doing stuff refuse to run?

Hello everyone, I'm working on a macOS application and encountering an issue related to multi-screen setups. My application includes an animation in the menu bar, and it works perfectly on the primary screen. However, I want this animation to stop or not appear when the app is being used on a secondary monitor(non-focused monitor). (for cpu related problem, when it's 3 monitor -> x3 cpu with x3 animation objects) I've tried a few approaches to detect when the application is being used on a secondary screen and then stop the animation, but so far, I haven't had any success. The main challenge seems to be accurately determining the screen where the app is actively being used and controlling the animation accordingly. Has anyone faced a similar issue or have suggestions on how to effectively stop or prevent the menu bar animation from running on a secondary screen? Any guidance or insights would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help!

Having an issue with crashes on iOS 16 and iOS 17 devices. App works and will appear to operate normally. However after a while the app will crash with a EXC_BREAKPOINT on libobjc.A.dylib object_getClass. The root cause seems to be something related to UIViews/Core Animation, I think. However the root crash trigger seems to be a half a dozen different triggers from the UI on main thread. It also only triggers on release builds, or the dev builds take a lot longer to trigger to the point it's very difficult to reproduce. Here are some examples of the crashes occurring.

Is it possible to disable NavigationLink transition animation in SwiftUI? To be more precisely. I want to disable it only for a few links/views. Not the whole app

Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'Modifications to the layout engine must not be performed from a background thread after it has been accessed from the main thread. I have been experiencing frequent crashes on iOS 17 and above recently, and I'm having trouble pinpointing the source of the crashes. The crash logs provide no information about the specific location of the crashes. Is there any workaround or solution to identify and resolve this issue? Please find attached the crash logs below

I'm working on a SwiftUI project where I use a .sheet modifier to present a bottom drawer with two detent sizes: .medium and .large. The drawer contains a button that toggles its size between these two states. This part works as expected. However, I'm facing an animation issue when I set a non-default background color to the sheet. Here's the simplified code for context: struct ContentView: View { @State private var selectedDetent: PresentationDetent = .medium var body: some View { VStack {} .sheet(isPresented: .constant(true)) { Button("Press Me") { selectedDetent = selectedDetent == .medium ? .large : .medium } .presentationBackground(.gray) .presentationDetents([.medium, .large], selection: $selectedDetent) } } } The issue arises when I try to set a background color using .presentationBackground(.gray) (or any color, even white). Instead of the expected behavior when pressing the button (where the upper part of the sheet closes, and the bottom part stays attached to the screen bottom), the sheet momentarily turns into a square in the middle of the screen before moving down to the .medium position. As soon as I remove the.presentationBackground(.gray) line, it works as expected: I tried several approaches, such as: Using a custom background view. Explicitly specifying animations. Adjusting view hierarchy and layering. Unfortunately, none of these solutions worked. The issue persists with any color. It seems like a bug or limitation in SwiftUI's handling of sheet animations with custom backgrounds. Has anyone else encountered this issue, or does anyone have a workaround or solution?

Our DJ application Mixxx renders scrolling waveforms with 60 Hz. This looks perfectly smooth on an older 2015 MacBook Pro. However it looks jittery on a new M1 device with "ProMotion" enabled. Selecting 60 Hz fixes the issue. We are looking for a way to tell macOS that it can expect 60 Hz renderings from Mixxx and must not display them early (at 120 Hz) even if the pictures are ready. The alternative would be to read out the display settings and ask the user to select 60 Hz. Is there an API to: hint the display diver that we render with 60 Hz read out the refresh rate settings?

I'm having issues animating views inside a ForEach list that's inside a border. Here's my code: struct ContentView: View { @State var showNewMethodOptions = false var body: some View { VStack { Button { showNewMethodOptions.toggle() } label: { HStack { Image(systemName: showNewMethodOptions ? "chevron.up" : "plus") .resizable() .scaledToFit() .frame(width: 32) .foregroundColor(.blue) Text("Add new payment method") .foregroundColor(.gray) .padding(.leading, 6) Spacer() } .padding(.horizontal) .padding(.top, 20) .padding(.bottom, showNewMethodOptions ? 10 : 20) } if showNewMethodOptions { ForEach(PaymentMethodType.allCases) { method in NavigationLink { } label: { ZStack(alignment: .center) { RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 5) .stroke(.blue) Text(method.rawValue) .font(.title3) .foregroundColor(.gray) } .frame(height: 45.0) .background() .padding(.horizontal) .padding(.vertical, 5) .transition(.slide) } } } } .animation(.spring, value: showNewMethodOptions) .padding(.bottom, showNewMethodOptions ? 16 : 0) .padding(.horizontal) .overlay( RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 4) .stroke(.gray, lineWidth: 1) .padding(.vertical, 4) .padding(.horizontal) ) } } enum PaymentMethodType: String, CaseIterable, Identifiable { var id: Self { return self } case checking = "Checking" case savings = "Savings" case creditOrDebitCard = "Card" } When the animation happens, the "add a new payment method" HStack animates nicely enough, but the payment method options fade in while it's still sliding up, which doesn't look great because it looks like everything's on top of each other. The options also don't seem to follow the transition animation I apply to them - it's always just a fade. Is there a way to get these elements to animate together?

In UIKit/Core Animation, I can create a CABasicAnimation that lets me animate changes to the Path in a CAShapeLayer. As long as the new path has the same number of control points as the previous path, Core Animation creates a smooth animation of the changes. It's also possible to animate things like the start and end of the stroke, but I'm talking about arbitrary changes to the path. In SwiftUI, it's pretty easy to animate the stroke so that it looks like it's being drawn by a pen. I'm not talking about that. Say I have a closed path with N vertexes and some of the vertexes are connected with straight lines, while others are connected by quadratic or cubic Bézier curves. I want to move the control points around in arbitrary ways, and change the control points of the Bézier curves. I have a simple Storyboard based project on Github that creates closed N-sided polygons with either rounded or sharp corners, it manages an array of PolygonPoint structs that look like this: public struct PolygonPoint { let point: CGPoint let isRounded: Bool let customCornerRadius: CGFloat? init(point: CGPoint, isRounded: Bool, customCornerRadius: CGFloat? = nil) { self.point = point self.isRounded = isRounded self.customCornerRadius = customCornerRadius } init(previousPoint: PolygonPoint, isRounded: Bool) { self.init(point: previousPoint.point, isRounded: isRounded, customCornerRadius: previousPoint.customCornerRadius) } } The sample app builds a square out of an array of PolygonPoints, and then presents 4 swtiches that controls whether each vertex is rounded or not. It builds a polygon using the CGPath addArc(tangent1End:tangent2End:radius:transform:) function, with a 0 radius for sharp corners and a non-zero corner radius for rounded corners. It wraps changes to the path in a CABasicAnimation, and the result is a simple animation. The project can be found on Github here: RoundedConerPolygon project As a learning exercise, I'd like to convert this project to SwiftUI. The Swift/UIKit project creates CGPaths, and there is an initializer for the Swift Path object that takes a CGPath, so that part is easy. However, SwiftUI wants to observe changes to a simple scalar, or to some sort of animatableData. I've tried to make my PolygonPoint struct conform to VectorArithmetic, but no joy. My attempt is here: RoundedCornerPolygonSwiftUI This seems like it should be easy, but I can't figure out how to make it work. Is there a way to have SwiftUI animate changes to a Path's underlying CGPath like you can in UIKit? I could probably wrap a UIKIt custom view in SwiftUI and do it that way, but I'm trying to learn how to do it "The SwifTUI way."

This is verified to be a framework bug (occurs on Mac Catalyst but not iOS or iPadOS), and it seems the culprit is AVVideoCompositionCoreAnimationTool? /// Exports a video with the target animating. func exportVideo() { let destinationURL = createExportFileURL(from: Date()) guard let videoURL = Bundle.main.url(forResource: "black_video", withExtension: "mp4") else { delegate?.exporterDidFailExporting(exporter: self) print("Can't find video") return } // Initialize the video asset let asset = AVURLAsset(url: videoURL, options: [AVURLAssetPreferPreciseDurationAndTimingKey: true]) guard let assetVideoTrack: AVAssetTrack = asset.tracks(withMediaType: AVMediaType.video).first, let assetAudioTrack: AVAssetTrack = asset.tracks(withMediaType: AVMediaType.audio).first else { return } let composition = AVMutableComposition() guard let videoCompTrack = composition.addMutableTrack(withMediaType: AVMediaType.video, preferredTrackID: Int32(kCMPersistentTrackID_Invalid)), let audioCompTrack = composition.addMutableTrack(withMediaType: AVMediaType.audio, preferredTrackID: Int32(kCMPersistentTrackID_Invalid)) else { return } videoCompTrack.preferredTransform = assetVideoTrack.preferredTransform // Get the duration let videoDuration = asset.duration.seconds // Get the video rect let videoSize = assetVideoTrack.naturalSize.applying(assetVideoTrack.preferredTransform) let videoRect = CGRect(origin: .zero, size: videoSize) // Initialize the target layers and animations animationLayers = TargetView.initTargetViewAndAnimations(atPoint: CGPoint(x: videoRect.midX, y: videoRect.midY), atSecondsIntoVideo: 2, videoRect: videoRect) // Set the playback speed let duration = CMTime(seconds: videoDuration, preferredTimescale: CMTimeScale(600)) let appliedRange = CMTimeRange(start: .zero, end: duration) videoCompTrack.scaleTimeRange(appliedRange, toDuration: duration) audioCompTrack.scaleTimeRange(appliedRange, toDuration: duration) // Create the video layer. let videolayer = CALayer() videolayer.frame = CGRect(origin: .zero, size: videoSize) // Create the parent layer. let parentlayer = CALayer() parentlayer.frame = CGRect(origin: .zero, size: videoSize) parentlayer.addSublayer(videolayer) let times = timesForEvent(startTime: 0.1, endTime: duration.seconds - 0.01) let timeRangeForCurrentSlice = times.timeRange // Insert the relevant video track segment do { try videoCompTrack.insertTimeRange(timeRangeForCurrentSlice, of: assetVideoTrack, at: .zero) try audioCompTrack.insertTimeRange(timeRangeForCurrentSlice, of: assetAudioTrack, at: .zero) } catch let compError { print("TrimVideo: error during composition: \(compError)") delegate?.exporterDidFailExporting(exporter: self) return } // Add all the non-nil animation layers to be exported. for layer in animationLayers.compactMap({ $0 }) { parentlayer.addSublayer(layer) } // Configure the layer composition. let layerComposition = AVMutableVideoComposition() layerComposition.frameDuration = CMTimeMake(value: 1, timescale: 30) layerComposition.renderSize = videoSize layerComposition.animationTool = AVVideoCompositionCoreAnimationTool( postProcessingAsVideoLayer: videolayer, in: parentlayer) let instructions = initVideoCompositionInstructions( videoCompositionTrack: videoCompTrack, assetVideoTrack: assetVideoTrack) layerComposition.instructions = instructions // Creates the export session and exports the video asynchronously. guard let exportSession = initExportSession( composition: composition, destinationURL: destinationURL, layerComposition: layerComposition) else { delegate?.exporterDidFailExporting(exporter: self) return } // Execute the exporting exportSession.exportAsynchronously(completionHandler: { if let error = exportSession.error { print("Export error: \(error), \(error.localizedDescription)") } self.delegate?.exporterDidFinishExporting(exporter: self, with: destinationURL) }) } Not sure how to implement a custom compositor that performs the same animations as this reproducible case: class AnimationCreator: NSObject { // MARK: - Target Animations /// Creates the target animations. static func addAnimationsToTargetView(_ targetView: TargetView, startTime: Double) { // Add the appearance animation AnimationCreator.addAppearanceAnimation(on: targetView, defaultBeginTime: AVCoreAnimationBeginTimeAtZero, startTime: startTime) // Add the pulse animation.

I have an issue with my macOS objC app that uses CATextLayer instances that adapt to the app appearance (dark, light). I had no problem with Ventura, so I suppose this is a Sonoma bug. But maybe I'm not doing the right things. Within -updateLayer , I call stringLayer.foregroundColor = NSColor.textColor.CGColor. (stringLayer is an instance of CATextLayer.) NSColor.textColor should adapt to the app appearance. But the color doesn't always change when the app appearance changes. So the text would turn black in dark mode (hence illegible) and white in light mode when I toggle the mode in the system preferences. To investigate wether the issues was specific to the system text color, I tried (again, within -updateLayer): NSColor *color = [NSApp.effectiveAppearance.name isEqualToString:NSAppearanceNameDarkAqua]? NSColor.redColor : NSColor.greenColor; stringLayer.foregroundColor = color.CGColor; I basically get the same issue. The correct color shows when the app launches, but doesn't change the first time I toggle the mode (dark/light). So the wrong color associates with the app appearance (red with light mode and green with dark mode). The code below works : NSColor *color = [NSApp.effectiveAppearance.name isEqualToString:NSAppearanceNameDarkAqua]? NSColor.redColor : NSColor.greenColor; NSDictionary *dic = @{NSFontAttributeName: [NSFont labelFontOfSize:10.0], NSForegroundColorAttributeName:color}; NSAttributedString *string = [[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithString:@"test" attributes: dic]; stringLayer.string = string; But the code below doesn't. The layer text color doesn't change when the app appearance changes. NSDictionary *dic = @{NSFontAttributeName: [NSFont labelFontOfSize:10.0], NSForegroundColorAttributeName:NSColor.textColor}; NSAttributedString *string = [[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithString:@"test" attributes: dic]; stringLayer.string = string; Note that the issue appears to be specific to the foreground color. The background color (which I update in the same method) is always set properly.

My app is somehow getting into a state where it is spamming CADisplayTimingsControl too many requests. and Unmatched CADisplayTimingsControl unregistration. Does anyone know what these logs mean? Or how they might be triggered?

I’m trying to achieve vertical split view in SwiftUI. There are two views, top one is Map (MKMapView actually, wrapped with UIViewRepresentable) and bottom one for this example could be Color.red. Between them there’s a handle to resize the proportions. Initial proportions are 0.3 of height for bottom, 0.7 for map. When resizing map frame, it feels choppy and slow. Replacing MapView with any other view does not produce the same issue. Issue appears only on my real device (iPhone 11 Pro Max) simulator works fine.

We have an iOS app in the App Store. Recently, we see in Organizer / Crashes for that app a new type of crash that seems bound to iOS 13 devices (21 devices affected in the last few weeks, all with iOS 13.1, .2, or .3). Xcode reports that the crashes occurred in QuartzCore, on CA::Render::Encoder::grow(unsigned long).Any idea what can it be and how it could be fixed? It doesn't look related to our code. Can it be a recent Apple bug? (We didn't have these crash reports before iOS 13.) Thank you in advance.Here is an extract from the crash log:OS Version: iPhone OS 13.3 (17C54) Release Type: User Baseband Version: n/a Report Version: 104 Exception Type: EXC_CRASH (SIGABRT) Exception

I've encountered an animation glitch affecting the text for AxisMarks and AxisLabels in the SwiftUI Chart framework. Below are the sample project code and animated gif for reference: (I'm not being able to attach the gif for some reason. Here's my StackOverflow post with a the gift: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/77007744/swiftui-chart-text-animation-glitch-with-axismarks-and-axislabels) struct ContentView: View { @State var isDisplayingAge = true var body: some View { ChartView(data: ChartDataSample, isDisplayingAge: isDisplayingAge) .onTapGesture { withAnimation { isDisplayingAge.toggle() } } } } struct ChartData: Identifiable { let age: Int let presence: Int let grade: Int let id = UUID() } struct ChartView: View { let data: [ChartData] let isDisplayingAge: Bool let xAxis = [0, 50, 100] var body: some View { VStack { Chart { ForEach(data) { chartData in BarMark(x: .value("X Axis", isDisplayingAge ? chartData.age : chartData.presence), y: .value("Y Axis", chartData.grade)) } } .chartXAxis(content: { AxisMarks(position: .bottom, values: xAxis.map{$0}) { data in AxisValueLabel(String(xAxis[data.index]) + (isDisplayingAge ? " years" : " days")) } }) .chartXAxisLabel(content: { Text(isDisplayingAge ? "Data: age" : "Data: presence") }) } .padding(.horizontal, 13) } } As you can observe, when I tap the chart to trigger a content change with animation, the text for AxisMarks (e.g., x years / x days) and AxisLabels (e.g., Data: age / Data: presence) animates unusually. A portion of the text is temporarily replaced by an ellipsis ("...") during the animation. Interestingly, this issue occurs only in one direction of the animation. When transitioning from "year" to "day" or from "presence" to "age," the text simply gets replaced without any noticeable animation. Can anyone explain what's happening here? Ideally, I'd like the texts to either fade into each other or be replaced without any animation. Thank you.

I want to generate a video from some images and that video should have some animation while changing one image to another. is it possible with UIView.transition(with:duration:options:animations:completion:) ? If it possible, then how can I achieve this ?

Wrote a transition code for some images. It can show image one by one. But I want to create a video with this kind of animations (Zoom in, Zoom out etc). How can I achieve this. UIView.transition(with: self.imageView, duration: 2.0, options: .transitionCrossDissolve, animations: { self.imageView.image = UIImage(imageLiteralResourceName: "image2") }, completion: nil)

Hi. I'm currently working on a project, where I try to achieve the best possible UX when rendering an interactive scene using custom Metal renderer. The problem I'm facing right now is that from what I've observed, the timing of how touch events (in touchesBegan/Moved/Ended/Cancelled) arrive with regards to DisplayLink callbacks is different on different devices using latest stable iOS. Disregarding special cases (fast touches movement causing two touchesMoved along with a single touchedEnded arriving during a frame interval and having awkward timing), the general picture is this: on 14 Pro: vsync - (8 ms of nothing) - touches - vsync on 11 Pro Max: vsync - touches - (16 ms of nothing) - vsync In order to minimize input-to-presentation latency and fit CPU + GPU work into one frame, I'd like to schedule drawing right when CADisplayLink callback arrives. The problem is that at this point on 11 Pro Max I have no knowledge about whether touches arrive or not, so the best we could do is to process those touches and schedule redraw on next vsync, which causes almost two frames latency between input and draw that reflects changes caused by this input (33 ms) On 14 Pro, touches are dispatched just before next vsync, so the actual latency is just one 120hz frame (8ms). What are possible workarounds to achieve the same UX on iPhone 11 Pro Max?
