Question 1

How do I change the color of LinearProgressBar in Swift?

Accepted Answer

Set the progressBarColor property for the bar color and backgroundColor for the background. For example, use linearBar.progressBarColor = UIColor.red as shown in the README's options section.

Question 2

LinearProgressBar vs Apple's UIProgressView: which is better?

Accepted Answer

Choose LinearProgressBar for Material Design aesthetics and smooth animations; it's more visually customizable. UIProgressView is better for native iOS look and deeper system integration with less setup.

Question 3

Does LinearProgressBar work with SwiftUI?

Accepted Answer

No, it's built for UIKit. To use it in SwiftUI, you must wrap it in a UIViewRepresentable, which adds complexity and isn't covered in the documentation.

Question 4

How to install LinearProgressBar without CocoaPods?

Accepted Answer

Add the LinearProgressBar.swift file manually to your Xcode project. The README provides clear instructions for both manual and CocoaPods installation methods.

Question 5

LinearProgressBar animation is jerky, how to fix it?

Accepted Answer

Ensure you're calling startAnimation and stopAnimation on the main thread. Check customization settings like height, as improper values might affect performance, though the README doesn't address troubleshooting.

Question 6

Are there alternatives to LinearProgressBar for iOS?

Accepted Answer

Yes, consider MBProgressHUD for more feature-rich loaders or Lottie for advanced animations. LinearProgressBar is best for simple, Material Design-focused linear bars without extra dependencies.
