Using Lottie animations is an easy and popular way to add animations to your app to have that modern look and feel. All sorts of companies use Lottie animations, from startups all the way to the big boys, such as Google, Microsoft, Spotify, and Netfl...

AnimationView should be created inside makeUIView. Because struct(LottieView) can be recreated by SwiftUI multiple times.

By doing that you lose the ability to play/pause animation via Coordinator within updateUIView(_ uiView:, context:). Initializing AnimationView only in makeUIView(context:) will render following error in updateUIView:

Value of type 'LottieView' has no member 'animationView'

Kevin Furjan You can get AnimationView from updateUIView like this:

guard let animationView = uiView.subviews.first as? AnimationView else { return }

without using coordinator.

Thanks for this article. It will help me for my future projects. 🙂
