Question 1

How to animate views in TZStackView?

Accepted Answer

Animate the hidden property of arranged subviews within a UIView animation block, just like native UIStackView. For example, use UIView.animateWithDuration to hide a view, and the stack layout adjusts smoothly, as shown in the README example with a GIF.

Question 2

TZStackView vs UIStackView: which should I use for iOS 10?

Accepted Answer

For iOS 9 or higher, always use native UIStackView since it's integrated into UIKit and fully supported by Apple. TZStackView is specifically for backward compatibility with iOS 7 or 8, as emphasized in the README.

Question 3

How to migrate from TZStackView to UIStackView?

Accepted Answer

Simply replace all instances of TZStackView with UIStackView in your code. The README confirms it's a drop-in replacement, so no other changes are needed, ensuring a seamless transition when raising the minimum iOS version.

Question 4

Does TZStackView work with auto layout constraints?

Accepted Answer

Yes, TZStackView is built on auto layout and uses NSLayoutConstraints internally to manage arranged subviews, similar to UIStackView, reducing boilerplate code as described in the GitHub description.

Question 5

Is TZStackView compatible with Swift 5?

Accepted Answer

The README badges indicate support for Swift 3.0.x, so it might not be updated for Swift 5. Check the GitHub repository for recent commits or forks if you need newer Swift version compatibility, as maintenance could be limited.

Question 6

Can I use TZStackView with CocoaPods on iOS 7?

Accepted Answer

No, using CocoaPods with TZStackView requires iOS 8 due to Swift pod limitations. For iOS 7 support, you must manually drag the source files into your Xcode project, as noted in the README setup section.
