Question 1

How do I add GooeyTabbar to my Xcode project?

Accepted Answer

To add GooeyTabbar, you likely need to clone the GitHub repository and integrate the source files manually, as there's no CocoaPods or Swift Package Manager support mentioned. Check the project files for any setup instructions or dependencies required for the animation effects.

Question 2

Is GooeyTabbar better than the standard iOS UITabBar for user engagement?

Accepted Answer

GooeyTabbar excels in visual appeal and interactive feedback, making it better for apps where engagement through animations is key. However, the standard UITabBar is more reliable, performant, and adheres to iOS design guidelines, so choose based on your app's priorities.

Question 3

Can I change the colors and animation speed in GooeyTabbar?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the project emphasizes customizable design, so you can modify colors and likely animation parameters by adjusting the source code. Look for configuration properties or methods in the provided classes to tailor the effects to your app's theme.

Question 4

Does GooeyTabbar work with SwiftUI, or is it only for UIKit?

Accepted Answer

GooeyTabbar is built using native iOS frameworks, which typically means UIKit-based. For SwiftUI, you might need to wrap it in a UIViewRepresentable to integrate it, but direct SwiftUI support isn't indicated in the README.

Question 5

What is the minimum iOS version required for GooeyTabbar?

Accepted Answer

The README doesn't specify iOS version compatibility. Given it uses native frameworks, it likely supports iOS versions where Core Animation and related APIs are available, but you should test on your target versions or check the code for any version-specific dependencies.

Question 6

How to handle more than five tab bar items with GooeyTabbar?

Accepted Answer

The standard tab bar in iOS supports up to five items, and GooeyTabbar might follow this limitation. For more items, you'd need to customize the component or implement a scrollable tab bar, which isn't covered in the basic implementation.
