Question 1

How do I dismiss an entry in SwiftEntryKit?

Accepted Answer

Use SwiftEntryKit.dismiss() to dismiss the currently displayed entry, or specify options like .all to clear the queue. The dismissal uses the exit animation defined in attributes, and you can add completion handlers, as detailed in the Dismissing an Entry section.

Question 2

SwiftEntryKit vs MBProgressHUD: which is better for iOS notifications?

Accepted Answer

SwiftEntryKit excels in customization and rich, non-intrusive overlays with animations and queuing, while MBProgressHUD is simpler for basic progress indicators. Choose SwiftEntryKit for complex notification systems and MBProgressHUD for lightweight progress displays.

Question 3

How to customize animations when an entry appears?

Accepted Answer

Set the entranceAnimation property in EKAttributes, allowing combinations of translation, scale, and fade effects. For example, you can create a spring-based translation with scale-in, as shown in the Animations subsection with code snippets.

Question 4

Does SwiftEntryKit support dark mode?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it supports dark mode through the displayMode attribute, which can be set to .light, .dark, or .inferred. The example project includes presets that demonstrate dark mode compatibility, as seen in the Dark Mode section.

Question 5

Can I use SwiftEntryKit with SwiftUI?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but it requires bridging since SwiftEntryKit is UIKit-based. You can wrap calls in a UIViewControllerRepresentable or use custom view modifiers, though native SwiftUI support isn't provided, as hinted in the interoperability notes.

Question 6

How to handle orientation changes with SwiftEntryKit?

Accepted Answer

SwiftEntryKit automatically adjusts entries on orientation changes. You can set position constraints like maxSize to control dimensions, and use attributes such as positionConstraints.rotation.isEnabled, as explained in the Dealing with orientation change section.
