Question 1

How to customize GSMessages background color?

Accepted Answer

Set properties like GSMessage.successBackgroundColor directly, as shown in the README example with UIColor values. This allows you to match your app's theme easily without modifying the source code.

Question 2

GSMessages vs SwiftMessages: which is better?

Accepted Answer

GSMessages is simpler and more lightweight for basic in-app messages, while SwiftMessages offers more features like interactive buttons and advanced animations. Choose GSMessages for straightforward needs or if you prefer a minimal dependency.

Question 3

How to show a GSMessage with attributed text?

Accepted Answer

Use the showMessage method with an NSAttributedString parameter, as supported by the library. This lets you include styled text with custom fonts and colors, enhancing message readability.

Question 4

Does GSMessages work with SwiftUI?

Accepted Answer

No, GSMessages is designed for UIKit. To use it in SwiftUI, you'd need to wrap it in a UIViewRepresentable, which adds complexity and might not integrate seamlessly with SwiftUI's state management.

Question 5

How to make GSMessages auto-hide after a delay?

Accepted Answer

Set the autoHide option to true and specify autoHideDelay in the options dictionary, such as .autoHideDelay(3.0). This hides the message automatically after 3 seconds, reducing user interaction clutter.

Question 6

Can I show multiple GSMessages at once?

Accepted Answer

GSMessages doesn't have built-in queue management, so showing multiple messages simultaneously might cause overlaps. You'll need to manually hide previous messages or implement a custom queue to avoid conflicts.
