Does iOS Playgrounds supports UIView animations?

Question

Is it possible to preview animation done for UIView with animateWithDuration in Playground? I am adding XCPShowView right after initialization of UIView and its shows everything

Answer 1

Xcode 7 update : XCPShowView is deprecated but you can see the animation in the playground liveView. And there is more coming soon: Interactive Playgrounds

Here is an update to Joseph Chen sample code. I also changed the color to green as the container default background is black :

import UIKit
import XCPlayground

let container = UIView(frame: CGRect(x: 0.0, y: 0.0, width: 100.0, height: 100.0))
// XCPShowView("container", view: container)  // -> deprecated

let view = UIView(frame: CGRect(x: 0.0, y: 0.0, width: 50.0, height: 50.0))
view.backgroundColor = UIColor.greenColor()
container.addSubview(view)

UIView.animateWithDuration(5) {
    view.center = CGPoint(x: 75.0, y: 75.0)
}

XCPlaygroundPage.currentPage.liveView=container
