Question 1

How do I add custom animations when a view is rotated with STP?

Accepted Answer

Implement the animateToRotatedTransform method in the Rotatable protocol to define your own animation logic. The default behavior applies a basic transform, but you can override this for effects like easing or spring animations.

Question 2

STP vs using UIGestureRecognizer directly: which is better for performance?

Accepted Answer

STP adds a thin protocol layer on top of UIGestureRecognizer, so performance is similar, but it simplifies code. For highly optimized, low-level gesture handling, direct UIGestureRecognizer use might offer more control, though STP is sufficient for most apps.

Question 3

Can I use STP with SwiftUI views in an iOS app?

Accepted Answer

No, STP is designed for UIKit and UIView subclasses. For SwiftUI, use built-in gesture modifiers like .gesture() or other SwiftUI-compatible libraries instead.

Question 4

How to handle when a view is both moveable and tappable without conflicts in STP?

Accepted Answer

STP doesn't automatically resolve gesture conflicts. You may need to implement custom logic in protocol methods, such as adjusting allowableMovement in Tappable or using gesture recognizer delegates to prioritize gestures.

Question 5

Is STP still maintained for iOS 15 and later?

Accepted Answer

The library hasn't seen recent updates, but since it relies on standard UIGestureRecognizers, it likely works with newer iOS versions. However, compatibility with latest Swift or iOS APIs isn't guaranteed due to potential maintenance gaps.

Question 6

How to implement a double tap gesture using STP?

Accepted Answer

STP's Tappable protocol uses UILongPressGestureRecognizer for taps, not double taps. You would need to extend the library with a custom protocol or use a separate UITapGestureRecognizer with numberOfTapsRequired set to 2.
