Animated Logo on App Load iOS

Hey Guys,

You know when you load an app, the logo sometimes has some cool animations? Does anyone know how this file is designed/made?

Thanks,

Joe

This tutorial is one example (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4y0YHDI4ezU), of how you can insert code into the launch process to play an animation. One note, tho, I'd suggest using the animateWithDuration method for animation, rather than the older "commit animation" style shown here. That said, the placement of the code should get you the effect you want. If you want it to appear like it's a "new" screen, you can always nest the animation inside of a fill screen UIView and have that fade out or disappear when the animation concludes.

If you need a refresher on creating animations, I'd suggest looking at this recent Treehouse Tutorial on iOS animation: http://teamtreehouse.com/library/ios-improving-interaction-with-animation
