UIKit Animation

Introduction

In this part, you'll learn how to animate Auto Layout constraints in iOS. Find out what animation is and how it can help your apps in this introductory video!

Animate Constraint Constant

Animate the constant property of an Auto Layout constraint as you create your first view animation for the Packing List app.

Challenge: Animate Position with Constants

Try animating another constraint on your own, and get a sneak peek at animating view properties directly.

Animate Dynamically Created Views

Learn how to animate the constraints of views you create dynamically and constrain entirely in code.

Challenge: Animate a View Offscreen

Challenge time! Make use of UIView.animate(withDuration:)'s delay argument, adding a new animation to move an item preview offscreen after a short delay.

Animate Constraint Multipliers

Learn the differences between animating constants and multipliers, then try animating a multiplier using a search and replace approach.

Challenge: Toggle Constraints

Try your hand at another way to animate constraint multipliers: toggling between two constraints with IBOutlets.

Add Springs

It's time to add a little fun to your animations! Learn how to make spring-driven animations and customize their effects.

View Transitions

Learn to use view transitions: a set of predefined view animations that can help you quickly add and remove views with style.

Challenge: Trigger View Transitions

In this challenge, have another try at using view transitions and explore the different ways to trigger them.

Conclusion

In this video you'll review what you've learned in this section, and find out what's next in your animation journey.

Introduction

In this part, you'll start animating views directly. What's the difference between animating constraints and animating view properties?

Animate View Properties

Build an animation to cross-fade between two views using three different view properties and some new techniques.

Challenge: Create a Fade Animation

Try adding another animation using a view property. This time, use alpha to fade a single view in and out.

Animate Transform Properties

Learn how to scale, translate, and rotate views with the powerful, but sometimes confounding, transform property.

Challenge: Add Variety

In this challenge, add variation to your last animation to slide labels to and from different directions.

Concatenate Transforms

Experiment with combining changes in multiple transform properties to create complex animations, and find out how they can go wrong.

Animate with Keyframes

Create a complex animation that encompasses multiple properties, and multiple steps, with a keyframe animation.

Challenge: Keyframes

In this challenge, solidify your keyframe animation skills by adding one more keyframe animation to your project.

Conclusion

Review what you've learned in this section, and prepare to take your animation skills to the next level.

Introduction

Learn about view controller transitions and why you should consider customizing them with unique animations in your apps.

Set Up the Animator

Take a tour of the Beginning Cook app and set it all up for custom view controller transition animations.

Challenge: Plan a Presentation Animation

Now that you have several view animations under your belt, try to plan out the steps needed to build the presentation animation.

Create a Presentation Animation

Follow through on your plan from the previous challenge by implementing all of the steps to create a custom presentation animation.

Challenge: Plan a Dismiss Animation

In this challenge, plan the steps required to take the presentation animation you've completed, and run it in reverse as a dismiss animation.

Create a Dismiss Animation

Take your plan for the dismiss animation and put it into action to create a completely customized view controller transition animation.

Add Polish

Wrap up your custom view controller transition with a few final steps to make the animation really shine.
