1. Building a launch transition 4 things I learnt along the way Matthew Gallagher, April 2018

3. 1st Thing Problem: Launch screen image caching Solution: Reset • Reset simulator or device • Get enough devs to confirm to your Product Owner that everything is ! Matthew Gallagher, April 2018
4. 2nd Thing Problem: Fading out launch screen Solution: Add delay to viewWillAppear DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: DispatchTime.now() + 0.5) { self.performSegue(withIdentifier: "splashToMainView", sender: self) } ! This gives launch screen time to finish its fade before my animation takes over, but would prefer a nicer solution Matthew Gallagher, April 2018
5. 3rd Thing Problem: Scope creep Solution: Push back • Initial idea: Reveal main screen at divide • Final idea: Hide logo into divider while divider moves to centre. Once centred, reveal main screen at divide. • Auto Layout for easy maintenance Matthew Gallagher, April 2018
6. Final Thing Problem: Frustration Solution: Knowing it's worth the effort This video shows the final transition used within the Sky Sports app Don't blink Matthew Gallagher, April 2018
