Question 1

How do I customize animation timing with AirBar?

Accepted Answer

AirBar provides transition progress values in the State object; you control timing by implementing UIView.animate or similar methods in the state observer closure to respond to these values.

Question 2

Can AirBar work with a UICollectionView or UITableView?

Accepted Answer

Yes, since both inherit from UIScrollView, you can bind AirBar's BarController to them using the set(scrollView:) method, as shown in the README for multiple scroll views.

Question 3

What's the difference between AirBar and using a native UINavigationBar with large titles?

Accepted Answer

AirBar offers more flexibility for custom expandable menus beyond Apple's predefined styles, allowing arbitrary UI elements and transitions, whereas UINavigationBar is limited to standard behaviors.

Question 4

How to handle multiple expandable menus in one iOS app?

Accepted Answer

Create separate BarController instances for each menu, bind them to different UIScrollView objects, and use the preconfigure method to set up scrolling views before activation.

Question 5

Is AirBar compatible with Swift Package Manager?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the README includes installation via Swift Package Manager by adding the package dependency, making it easy to integrate in modern Xcode projects.

Question 6

What are the performance impacts of using AirBar?

Accepted Answer

It adds minimal overhead by observing scroll events, but performance depends on your UI transformations in the state observer; complex animations might affect scroll smoothness if not optimized.
