Question 1

How to install CRToast with CocoaPods?

Accepted Answer

Add 'pod "CRToast", "~> 0.0.7"' to your Podfile and run pod install. The README confirms this is the recommended method, and it supports iOS 7.0+ for both iPhone and iPad.

Question 2

CRToast vs CWStatusBarNotification: which is better?

Accepted Answer

CRToast is based on CWStatusBarNotification but offers more customization and interaction features, such as advanced animation types and multi-touch gestures. However, CWStatusBarNotification might be simpler for basic needs, while CRToast is better for rich, interactive notifications.

Question 3

How to add swipe gestures to CRToast notifications?

Accepted Answer

Use CRToastInteractionResponder with interaction types like CRToastInteractionTypeSwipeLeft, and set it via kCRToastInteractionRespondersKey in the options dictionary. This allows automatic dismissal or custom actions on swipe, as detailed in the README's touch interactions section.

Question 4

Is CRToast compatible with Swift?

Accepted Answer

Yes, CRToast can be used in Swift projects via bridging headers, but it's written in Objective-C, so you'll need to handle Objective-C interoperability. The dictionary-based API might feel less native in Swift compared to Swift-centric libraries.

Question 5

How to queue multiple notifications with CRToast?

Accepted Answer

CRToastManager automatically queues notifications when showNotificationWithOptions is called multiple times. Notifications will display sequentially, and you can control dismissal programmatically with dismissNotification: for precise timing.

Question 6

Does CRToast support persistent notifications?

Accepted Answer

Yes, by setting kCRToastTimeIntervalKey to @(DBL_MAX) and adding interaction responders for dismissal, notifications can remain until user interaction. This is useful for alerts that require explicit acknowledgment, as mentioned in the README.
