  • Introducing Giffy: Effortlessly Display Animated GIFs in SwiftUI with the Memory-Efficient FLAnimatedImage
    2 projects | /r/SwiftUI | 1 May 2023
    Currently, Apple doesn't offer an API to display animated GIF images in SwiftUI out of the box. So, we have to either rely on third-party libraries or build our own solution. In the UIKit realm, Flipboard offers [FLAnimatedImage](https://github.com/Flipboard/FLAnimatedImage), one of the most robust and performant solutions to display GIFs in iOS. This solution has been battle-tested for many years in big-scale apps such as Facebook, Instagram, and Slack.
