Q: How to position the loading bar below a navigation bar in UIKit?

Use the isRelativeToSafeArea parameter set to true or manually constrain GradientActivityIndicatorView to specific views, as shown in the UIKit integration examples. You can adjust height and anchors to fit your layout.

Q: Is there a way to show progress percentage with Gradient Loading Bar?

No, the framework does not support displaying progress percentages; it is designed for continuous animation without numerical feedback. For progress tracking, you would need to supplement it with additional UI elements.

Question 1

How to integrate Gradient Loading Bar with SwiftUI?

Accepted Answer

Import the framework and add GradientLoadingBarView to your SwiftUI hierarchy, then control visibility with state variables and modifiers like opacity or hidden, as detailed in the SwiftUI usage section. You can customize colors and animation speed directly in the view initializer.

Question 2

GradientLoadingBar vs Apple's UIProgressView: which is better for iOS apps?

Accepted Answer

GradientLoadingBar offers visually appealing gradient animations and notch support, making it ideal for polished UIs, while UIProgressView is a standard, less customizable component. Choose GradientLoadingBar for visual flair, but note it lacks native progress tracking features like percentage display.

Question 3

Can I change the gradient colors dynamically during runtime?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can update the gradientColors property at any time for both UIKit (GradientActivityIndicatorView) and SwiftUI (via state binding), allowing real-time color changes. The README provides code snippets for setting colors in configuration.

Question 4

Does Gradient Loading Bar work with iOS 15 or older versions?

Accepted Answer

For iOS 15, you need version 3.x.x, and for iOS < 13.0, version 2.x.x, as noted in the compatibility notes. The latest version requires iOS 26.0+, so check your target version and use the appropriate release.
