Question 1

How to add GuillotineMenu to an iOS app with Swift?

Accepted Answer

Install via CocoaPods by adding 'pod "GuillotineMenu"' to your Podfile, or manually add "GuillotineMenuTransitionAnimation.swift" to your project. Then, follow the Usage steps to set up the transitioning delegate and animator properties for presentation.

Question 2

GuillotineMenu vs standard iOS modal presentation

Accepted Answer

GuillotineMenu offers a unique, custom animation for menu transitions, while standard modal presentations use built-in iOS animations with less visual flair. Choose GuillotineMenu for eye-catching UI effects, but expect more setup work compared to native modals.

Question 3

Can I change the speed of the guillotine animation?

Accepted Answer

Yes, adjust the "duration" property on the animator to control animation timing, allowing fine-tuning for better user experience, as mentioned in the Customisation section of the README.

Question 4

What iOS versions does GuillotineMenu support?

Accepted Answer

It requires iOS 8.0 or later, and is compatible with Swift 5.0 (v4.1+) or Swift 4.2 (v4.0), making it suitable for modern iOS projects but not for apps targeting older versions.

Question 5

How to handle button taps in GuillotineMenu?

Accepted Answer

Set the "presentButton" property on the animator to the button triggering the menu, and use delegate methods or standard UIViewController actions to manage interactions, as outlined in the Usage and Customisation sections.

Question 6

Is GuillotineMenu accessible for VoiceOver?

Accepted Answer

The README doesn't mention accessibility features; you'll need to manually ensure elements are labeled and focusable, as custom transitions can interfere with native accessibility if not handled carefully.
