How can I flip and enlarge a UIView it at the same time like iOS 7 iPad App Store?

Question

The iPad iOS 7 App Store has a pretty cool animation for when you click on an app icon (from the featured list when the icon is smaller, not a search result). Here is a pict

Answer 1

Try this way...

//set Intial Frame of view

[UIView transitionWithView: self.view
                  duration: 1.5f
                   options: UIViewAnimationOptionTransitionFlipFromRight
                animations: ^(void)
 {
 }
                completion: ^(BOOL isFinished)
 {
      // set the Final Frame of the View
 }];

Answer 2

I took a video of the animation in the iPad App Store app, and it doesn't look like a UIView transition. If you play it back slowly, it looks like two animations are happening simultaneously: 1) the icon is rotating to about 90 degrees, scaling, and translating 2) the details are fading in, rotating a little bit, scaling, and translating to the final destination. So the details aren't continuing where the icon left off.

I think that is why it looks weird when trying to do this using view animations.

To accomplish a flip between views that is more continuous, see the code below. It basically does this in several steps: 1) Position backView to where frontView is 2) Animate the frontView rotating and scaling halfway 3) Set the backView transform to be the same as frontView 4) Show the backView 5) Animate backView rotating and scaling the rest of the way

Flipping back is the basically reverse. Works great.

// flip and scale frontView to reveal backView to the center of the screen
// uses a containerView to mark the end of the animation
// parameterizing the destination is an exercise for the reader
- (void)flipFromFront:(UIView*)frontView toBack:(UIView*)backView
{
    float duration = 0.5;

    // distance from center of screen from frontView
    float dx = self.view.center.x - frontView.center.x;
    float dy = self.view.center.y - frontView.center.y;

    // this prevents any tearing
    backView.layer.zPosition = 200.0;

    // hide the backView and position where frontView is
    backView.hidden = NO;
    backView.alpha = 0.0;
    backView.frame = frontView.frame;

    // start the animation
    [UIView animateKeyframesWithDuration:duration
                                   delay:0.25
                                 options:UIViewKeyframeAnimationOptionCalculationModeCubic
                              animations:^{
                                  // part 1.  Rotate and scale frontView halfWay.
                                  [UIView addKeyframeWithRelativeStartTime:0.0
                                                          relativeDuration:0.5
                                                                animations:^{
                                                                    // get the transform for the blue layer
                                                                    CATransform3D xform = frontView.layer.transform;
                                                                    // translate half way
                                                                    xform = CATransform3DTranslate(xform, dx/2, dy/2, 0);

Try this code

 [UIView transitionFromView:'yourOriginView'
                        toView:'yourDestination'
                      duration:0.65f
                       options:UIViewAnimationOptionTransitionFlipFromLeft/
                    completion:^(BOOL finished){
//    Do your presentation here
                    }];
