Adding beautiful animations to your SwiftUI app shouldn’t require complex code. With Lottie, it doesn’t. You can now bring your app to life with stunning animations using just a few lines of code. No more wrestling with complex animation systems — just simple, elegant motion that delights your users.

Why Lottie?

Before we dive into the code, let’s understand what makes Lottie special. Unlike traditional iOS animations, Lottie lets you use animations created in Adobe After Effects directly in your app. This means designers can create exactly what they envision, and developers can implement it without compromise. From loading spinners to success celebrations, if it can be animated in After Effects, it can be in your app.

Don’t have a designer? No problem! You can find thousands of ready-to-use Lottie animations on platforms like LottieFiles. Just remember to check the license and give proper credit to the creators in your app. Many animations are free to use with attribution, making it easy to add professional animations to your project right away.

The next step is setting up Lottie in your project. Let’s get started with the installation…
