Use of undeclared type 'LOTAnimationView'

[djukidjuki]

Hello folks, I'm having trouble with Lottie since my Xcode updated to v10.2 last week, everything was working as expected before that.

I'm using Lottie v3.0.3, iOS platform (Swift).

After installing Lottie by using CocoaPods, I'm able to import it into class, but when I connect LOTAnimationView view from a Storyboard to IBOutlet I'm getting Use of undeclared type 'LOTAnimationView'.

I tried to uninstall lottie-ios pod, delete derived data, clean the project, but once I install it again, I'm unable to build the project and the same error appears.

I would really appreciate if you have any advice or prior experience with this.

@djukidjuki - LOTAnimationView is now AnimationView among other name changes.

Thank you @joekim ! I'm closing this issue.

Please tell me: why is it so good to give less specific name for classes. There's a bigger chance to conflict with other frameworks, classes. Not only your framework is an example for this, there are many of them. I like to know, what I am calling, and like to avoid conflicts as much is it possible.

Lottie 3 is written in swift and intended to be used in swift environments. Swift does away with name spacing because it removes the conflict caused when two different frameworks have the same name. Instead classes are accessible using dot syntax. EG FrameworkA.AnimationView and Lottie.AnimationView.

Because of this the style guidelines for swift say to drop namespaces. https://github.com/raywenderlich/swift-style-guide#class-prefixes

Hope this helps!
