Question 2

MDCSwipeToChoose vs other swipe libraries for iOS?

MDCSwipeToChoose is focused on simple left/right swipes with a pre-built Tinder-like UI, making it ideal for quick implementations. Other libraries might offer more features like multi-directional swipes or better SwiftUI support, but with added complexity.

Set the swipeEnabled option to NO in MDCSwipeToChooseViewOptions, allowing only programmatic swipes. The README includes Objective-C and Swift snippets for this.

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can use the UIView category to add swipe gestures to any UIView, including cells in collection views, by setting up options and implementing delegate callbacks for swipe events.

Is MDCSwipeToChoose still maintained?

Accepted Answer

The library appears inactive with no recent updates, so while it works for basic use, you may need to fork or adapt it for compatibility with latest iOS versions and Swift changes.
