iOS-CircleProgressView
A customizable iOS circle progress view control that works with both code and Interface Builder.
What is iOS-CircleProgressView?
CircleProgressView is an iOS UI control that displays progress as a customizable circle. It solves the need for a visually appealing, easy-to-integrate progress indicator that works seamlessly with both code and Interface Builder.
iOS developers building apps that require progress visualization, especially those using Swift or Objective-C and wanting Interface Builder compatibility.
Developers choose CircleProgressView for its out-of-the-box customization options, live Interface Builder rendering, and support for animated progress updates without writing custom drawing code.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Uses @IBDesignable and @IBInspectable for live rendering in Xcode, allowing visual configuration without code, as shown in the README screenshots.
Offers extensive options like track width, colors, and optional images for track and center, detailed in the features list for tailored visuals.
Supports smooth animation when changing progress values with the animated option, enhancing user experience without extra code.
Available in both Swift and Objective-C versions, providing flexibility for different codebases, though with CocoaPods limitations.
Cons
CocoaPods only pulls the Swift version, and Objective-C integration requires manual setup, as admitted in the README note.
Requires Xcode 8 and Swift 3.0, which are older versions, potentially causing compatibility issues with modern iOS toolchains.
Lacks advanced features like gradient fills, interactive gestures, or SwiftUI compatibility, limiting it to simple circular progress use cases.
