Answer 1

Based on @holex's answer, but simplified a bit (as commented):

- (IBAction)startFade:(id)sender {
   [_label setAlpha:0.f];

   [UIView animateWithDuration:2.f 
                         delay:0.f 
                       options:UIViewAnimationOptionCurveEaseIn
                             | UIViewAnimationOptionAutoreverse 
                    animations:^{
                                  [_label setAlpha:1.f];
                                } 
                    completion:nil];
}
