Quick Overview
BubbleTransition is a custom modal transition for iOS that creates a bubble-like animation effect when presenting and dismissing view controllers. It provides a unique and visually appealing way to transition between screens in iOS applications, enhancing the user experience with smooth and engaging animations.
Pros
- Easy to implement and integrate into existing iOS projects
- Customizable animation properties (e.g., duration, color, start point)
- Supports both presenting and dismissing transitions
- Compatible with both Swift and Objective-C
Cons
- Limited to circular transition animations
- May not be suitable for all types of app designs or user interfaces
- Requires additional setup compared to standard iOS transitions
- Not actively maintained (last update was in 2019)
Code Examples
- Setting up the transition:
let transition = BubbleTransition()
viewController.transitioningDelegate = self
viewController.modalPresentationStyle = .custom
- Implementing the transitioning delegate methods:
func animationController(forPresented presented: UIViewController, presenting: UIViewController, source: UIViewController) -> UIViewControllerAnimatedTransitioning? {
transition.transitionMode = .present
transition.startingPoint = bubbleButton.center
transition.bubbleColor = bubbleButton.backgroundColor!
return transition
}
func animationController(forDismissed dismissed: UIViewController) -> UIViewControllerAnimatedTransitioning? {
transition.transitionMode = .dismiss
transition.startingPoint = bubbleButton.center
transition.bubbleColor = bubbleButton.backgroundColor!
return transition
}
- Customizing the transition:
transition.duration = 0.5
transition.transitionColor = .red
transition.startingPoint = CGPoint(x: view.frame.width / 2, y: view.frame.height)
Getting Started
-
Install BubbleTransition using CocoaPods by adding the following to your Podfile:
pod 'BubbleTransition'
-
Import the library in your Swift file:
import BubbleTransition
-
Create an instance of BubbleTransition and set it as the transitioning delegate for your view controller:
let transition = BubbleTransition() viewController.transitioningDelegate = self viewController.modalPresentationStyle = .custom
-
Implement the
UIViewControllerTransitioningDelegate
methods in your presenting view controller to use the BubbleTransition for both presenting and dismissing animations.

Usage
Install through CocoaPods:
pod 'BubbleTransition', '~> 3.2.0'
use_frameworks!
Install through Carthage:
github "andreamazz/BubbleTransition"
Install through Swift Package Manager:
To integrate using Xcode:
File
-> Swift Packages
-> Add Package Dependency...
Enter package URL: https://github.com/andreamazz/BubbleTransition
, and select the latest release.
Setup
Have your view controller conform to UIViewControllerTransitioningDelegate
. Set the transitionMode
, the startingPoint
, the bubbleColor
and the duration
.
let transition = BubbleTransition()
public override func prepare(for segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: Any?) {
let controller = segue.destination
controller.transitioningDelegate = self
controller.modalPresentationCapturesStatusBarAppearance = true
controller.modalPresentationStyle = .custom
}
// MARK: UIViewControllerTransitioningDelegate
public func animationController(forPresented presented: UIViewController, presenting: UIViewController, source: UIViewController) -> UIViewControllerAnimatedTransitioning? {
transition.transitionMode = .present
transition.startingPoint = someButton.center
transition.bubbleColor = someButton.backgroundColor!
return transition
}
public func animationController(forDismissed dismissed: UIViewController) -> UIViewControllerAnimatedTransitioning? {
transition.transitionMode = .dismiss
transition.startingPoint = someButton.center
transition.bubbleColor = someButton.backgroundColor!
return transition
}
You can find the Objective-C equivalent here.
Swipe to dismiss
You can use an interactive gesture to dismiss the presented controller. To enable this gesture, prepare the interactive transition:
let interactiveTransition = BubbleInteractiveTransition()
override func prepare(for segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: Any?) {
if let controller = segue.destination as? ModalViewController {
controller.transitioningDelegate = self
controller.modalPresentationStyle = .custom
controller.modalPresentationCapturesStatusBarAppearance = true
controller.interactiveTransition = interactiveTransition
interactiveTransition.attach(to: controller)
}
}
and implement interactionControllerForDismissal
in your presenting controller:
func interactionControllerForDismissal(using animator: UIViewControllerAnimatedTransitioning) -> UIViewControllerInteractiveTransitioning? {
return interactiveTransition
}
In the presented controller make sure to call finish()
on the interactive gesture if you need to quickly dismiss from a button press instead. Check the sample code for more info.
You can decide the gesture threshold and the swipe direction:
interactiveTransition.interactionThreshold = 0.5
interactionThreshold.swipeDirection = .up
Properties
var startingPoint = CGPointZero
The point that originates the bubble.
var duration = 0.5
The transition duration.
var transitionMode: BubbleTranisionMode = .present
The transition direction. Either .present
, .dismiss
or .pop
.
var bubbleColor: UIColor = .white
The color of the bubble. Make sure that it matches the destination controller's background color.
Checkout the sample project for the full implementation.
