material-components-android VS Lottie for Android, iOS, and React Native

It works with both. Components for the view system are available on Github.

By going to the Github doc of the material components lib, you can change branches and easily check when the design was updated. The latest release with the old design is 1.4 (see this doc).

TargetSDK is 33

[Tokens/Color] Added U color resources for contrast mode support.

You mean this one? https://github.com/material-components/material-components-android/blob/master/docs/components/Search.md

I'm not a dev, but I'm curious about this, cause I thought Material Components was made years ago as a library for devs to dynamically use said material components, so they would have an easier time updating their apps when the guidelines changed. Did I interpret it wrong?

Material Components has ToggleButton which does exactly what you want

It's probably worth filing an issue about it https://github.com/material-components/material-components-android/issues

Worth mentioning that After Effects can export CSS/SVG/canvas animations with the free bodymovin/Lottie plugin. This is my personal go to for creating web key frame animations and elements.

Not every after effects feature is exportable, but it’s the best and most reliable solution I’ve found for this type of workflow, maybe due in part though to my previous experience with AE.

A smooth and visually appealing on-boarding experience can greatly impact how users perceive the quality of your app. In my previous article, we explored how to create custom splash screens on Fire TV apps to optimize the startup time and improve user experience. Building on that knowledge we will take a step further and learn how to develop an animated splash screen using Lottie for Fire TV applications.

They are most likely Lottie animations: http://airbnb.io/lottie/

I'd suggest Lottie with a JSON animation file

Lottie[1], an Adobe After Effects plugin, fills a gap in vector animation authoring and is quite widely used (primarily in mobile applications but also works on the web, Discord for example supports them for stickers).

It's a pity SVG animation authoring tools never eventuated since it's an underutilized native format.

Unity can export to WebGL/WASM, so that's one option if you're making some kind of heavy interactive experience and you don't mind waiting for it to load. For just animations there are tools like Lottie that can help. I think things are generally a lot more fragmented than they were in the Flash/Shockwave days though.
