Question 1

How do I install RevealingSplashView in my iOS project?

Accepted Answer

Install via CocoaPods by adding 'pod RevealingSplashView' to your Podfile and running pod install, or via Carthage by adding the GitHub repository to your Cartfile. The README provides step-by-step instructions for both package managers.

Question 2

Can I use RevealingSplashView with SwiftUI?

Accepted Answer

RevealingSplashView is built for UIKit, so using it with SwiftUI requires wrapping it in a UIViewControllerRepresentable, which adds complexity. For native SwiftUI animations, consider alternative libraries or custom implementations.

Question 3

How to change the animation type in RevealingSplashView?

Accepted Answer

Set the animationType property to one of the predefined types like SplashAnimationType.rotateOut or .heartBeat. The README includes code snippets and GIF examples for each animation type to guide customization.

Question 4

RevealingSplashView vs building a custom splash screen from scratch

Accepted Answer

RevealingSplashView saves development time with pre-built animations and easy integration, but if you need unique, complex animations or full control over performance, building from scratch with Core Animation might be more suitable. The library excels for standard, polished effects.

Question 5

How to handle splash screen when my app has a NavigationController?

Accepted Answer

The README suggests adding the RevealingSplashView to the UIWindow instead of the ViewController, or using a separate entry view controller to avoid offset issues. This ensures smooth animation transitions without visual glitches.

Question 6

Does RevealingSplashView support background images?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can set a custom background image by initializing with backgroundImage instead of backgroundColor, as shown in the README example. This allows for more immersive splash screen designs matching your app's theme.

Question 7

Is RevealingSplashView still actively maintained?

Accepted Answer

The project has badges for build status and code coverage, and a TODO list for improvements like better code coverage. Check the GitHub repository for recent commits and issue activity to assess current maintenance, as it may have slowed over time.
