I am a beginner iOS programmer. I would like to know what is the limit of the UIView animations methods, in other world when to use Core animation ? my problem is, i have seen many application witch animate her views, but i don’t know if they use core animation to do this or just the UIKit animations.
Thansk for your answer
Usually the UIView animation are fine for the vast majority of animations. You usually use core animation only if you’re going to be performing more advanced animation paths, manipulating a lot of layers simultaneously, or just need to do something that UIView animations can’t achieve. But in my application I use UIView animations for almost everything (including 3D transforms) and I don’t have any problem with it. You wouldn’t want to use UIView animations for a game, but for most non-game applications it should be fine. Besides, UIView animations use core animation on the back end.
