Question 1

How to customize IHProgressHUD colors and themes?

Accepted Answer

Use methods like setForegroundColor and setBackgroundColor to apply custom colors, which changes the style to custom. Preconfigured light and dark themes are available via set(defaultStyle:), as shown in the Customization section. For dynamic themes, you may need to manually update based on system appearance.

Question 2

IHProgressHUD vs SVProgressHUD: which is better for Swift?

Accepted Answer

IHProgressHUD is a Swift port of SVProgressHUD with added thread safety and App Extension support. If you're using Swift and need these features, IHProgressHUD is the better choice. However, for Objective-C projects or simpler needs, SVProgressHUD might suffice with its established ecosystem.

Question 3

Can I use IHProgressHUD in SwiftUI?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but it requires bridging since it's a UIKit component. Wrap it in a UIViewRepresentable to integrate into SwiftUI views. The README doesn't provide SwiftUI examples, so you'll need to handle this manually, which can add complexity.

Question 4

How to add a completion block when dismissing IHProgressHUD?

Accepted Answer

Use dismissWithCompletion or dismissWithDelay with a completion parameter, as documented in the Dismissing the HUD section. This allows executing code after the HUD hides, useful for chaining tasks or UI updates.

Question 5

Is IHProgressHUD safe from background threads?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it's explicitly thread-safe and can be accessed from background threads without issues, as stated in the Thread-Safe Operations feature. This ensures reliable UI updates during concurrent operations like network requests.

Question 6

Does IHProgressHUD support automatic dark mode?

Accepted Answer

It has preconfigured light and dark styles, but for automatic adaptation to system dark mode, you need to manually switch styles using set(defaultStyle:) based on trait collections. The README doesn't cover dynamic theme switching out-of-the-box.
