Question 1

How to use CZPicker in a Swift iOS app?

Accepted Answer

Since CZPicker is written in Objective-C, you need to add a bridging header to your Swift project. Import CZPicker in the header and follow the Swift demo project in the repo, which shows basic integration steps.

Question 2

CZPicker vs ActionSheetPicker: which is better for iOS?

Accepted Answer

CZPicker offers a modal popup style with extensive color customization, while ActionSheetPicker provides more native action sheet integration and might have better maintenance. Choose CZPicker if you need a highly themed, standalone picker; otherwise, ActionSheetPicker could be more versatile.

Question 3

Does CZPicker support dark mode in iOS 13 and later?

Accepted Answer

No, CZPicker was last updated in 2016 and doesn't include built-in support for iOS dark mode. You'd need to manually adjust colors using its customization properties, but this may not fully align with system themes.

Question 4

How to customize the animation duration in CZPicker?

Accepted Answer

Set the animationDuration property on the CZPickerView instance, as mentioned in the README's customization section. This allows control over how quickly the picker appears and disappears for smoother UX.

Question 5

Is CZPicker still maintained in 2024?

Accepted Answer

No, the GitHub repo shows no activity since 2016, with the last release being v0.4.3. It's effectively unmaintained, so consider alternatives for projects requiring ongoing support.

Question 6

Can CZPicker handle large lists efficiently?

Accepted Answer

It uses UITableView-like dataSource methods, so performance depends on your implementation. However, it lacks built-in optimizations like cell reuse beyond standard iOS patterns, so large datasets might require manual handling.
