How do I remove the view from super view after a disappear animation?

[Sweeper777]

transform(duration: 0.5, transforms: [
        .scale(x: 0, y: 0)
        ]).do { [weak self] in
            self?.removeFromSuperview()
    }

I have the above animation. I was hoping that when performed, the view will shrink and after 0.5 seconds it will be removed from the super view. However, it actually just make the view disappear without the animation. I thought the do block will run code after the animations. Am i misunderstanding this? How can I remove the view from super view after animation finishes?

You can call removeFormSuperview in the completion block when you call perform. Will that work for your use case?

I think that should work. However, I want to write the removeFromSuperview call in the view class, so the VC, who is performing the animation, doesn't need to worry about that. Is there any way to do this?

I believe your assumption above in your original comment should work. Is this not happening correctly? You may need to call layoutIfNeeded() again to get the vc to show that the view has been removed.

Actually I just found out that doing a scale animation of (0,0) will just make the view disappear immediately. This made it seem like the view is removed before the animation finishes. I changed both x and y to 0.1 and it works.

Awesome! This is good info. Thanks for the update.
