Lottie VS Alamofire

Lottie still has a lot of support (backed by Airbnb) and just got a big performance upgrade on iOS. However, there are competitors cropping up (like Rive) with the aim to be more lightweight and not tied to After Effects.

Lottie - After Effects vector animations

When I wrote my app which needed Lottie animations, I found LottieXamarin library, but that only works with Xamarin.Forms not with MAUI. I tried to update it, however I've run into multiple issues and at the same time I've realised only older Lottie versions can be binded, because from March of 2019, Lottie is a Swift library, which means it can't be binded easily.

It's probably made with Adobe AE or similar, and exported in Lottie format (SVG-data like + assets) to be loaded and rendered with the Lottie library for iOS (https://github.com/airbnb/lottie-ios) which I presume already comes with SwiftUI-compatible API.

The HN thread also mentions Lottie from AirBnB and IconVG from Not-an-official-Google-product.

Lottie for Web, Android, iOS, React Native, and Windows

I think there might be one but not sure how up to date it is: https://github.com/airbnb/lottie-ios/tree/lottie/objectiveC

If you can use After effects or some plugin to translate the PNG sequence to a Lottie JSON file, you can setup https://github.com/airbnb/lottie-ios in your project and should be pretty straight forward from there. If not, maybe translate it to a GIF file. Last option, if the animation is simple it can be simple to recreate it using UIBezierPaths.

Alamofire is a swift http request lib. By default, we need use completion handler to handle response. Today we are going to find out how to use it with async and await.

Looks like your Alamofire tutorial is out of date. I suggest you read the current documentation and update your code. For instance, you can update your example to:

Alamofire - Elegant HTTP networking

Alamofire - Alamofire is an HTTP networking library written in Swift. (de facto standard library for network) Language: Swift.

You can find an example using Alamofire, the most commonly used network framework, here.

To add Alamofire, we'll be using Swift Package Manager. Xcode comes with built-in support for it and we'll not have to use external package managers like Cocoapods or Carthage. Click on File → Add Packages...
