How do I record animations for debugging in Swift?

Recording animations for debugging in Swift can be extremely helpful to visualize how your UI elements are interacting and animating. By implementing custom logging around your animations, you can pinpoint issues and optimize your animations effectively.

Here's how you can record animations for debugging in Swift:

func animateView() {
    // Start recording
    let animationStartTime = Date()
    print("Animation Started at: \(animationStartTime)")

    UIView.animate(withDuration: 1.0, animations: {
        // Your animation code goes here
        self.view.alpha = 0.0
    }) { _ in
        // Record when the animation ends
        let animationEndTime = Date()
        print("Animation Ended at: \(animationEndTime)")
        let duration = animationEndTime.timeIntervalSince(animationStartTime)
        print("Animation Duration: \(duration) seconds")
    }
}

This code snippet demonstrates how to log the start and end times of an animation in Swift. By calculating the duration, you can gain insights into the performance of your animations.
