Question 1

How do I change the color of SVProgressHUD?

Accepted Answer

Use the setForegroundColor: and setBackgroundColor: methods to customize colors. This automatically sets the style to SVProgressHUDStyleCustom, overriding preset styles for full control.

Question 2

SVProgressHUD vs MBProgressHUD: which is better?

Accepted Answer

SVProgressHUD is often preferred for its cleaner design, haptic feedback, and active maintenance, while MBProgressHUD is older but more established. Choose SVProgressHUD for modern apps needing customization.

Question 3

How to use SVProgressHUD in a Swift project?

Accepted Answer

Import the module and call methods like SVProgressHUD.show(). If using CocoaPods, add use_frameworks! to your Podfile; for manual setup, use a bridging header to include the Objective-C code.

Question 4

Can SVProgressHUD work with SwiftUI?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but it requires bridging since it's UIKit-based. Wrap it in a UIViewRepresentable to integrate into SwiftUI views, which adds extra boilerplate code compared to native SwiftUI solutions.

Question 5

How to add haptic feedback to SVProgressHUD?

Accepted Answer

Enable haptics by calling setHapticsEnabled: true. It automatically maps success, error, and info states to appropriate UINotificationFeedbackType on supported iPhones, no additional setup needed.

Question 6

What's the best way to dismiss SVProgressHUD after a task?

Accepted Answer

Use dismissWithDelay: for timed dismissal or balance show calls with popActivity. For async tasks, always dismiss on the main thread to avoid UI glitches, as shown in the README examples.
