Learning from iOS Animations
summary
Core Animation debuts as a pragmatic API: implicit animations (default ~0.25s) animate property changes without extra objects, spring animations give organic bounce, and explicit CAAnimation objects let code set duration, timing and keypaths. Concrete builds include a Mapbox viewport API that supports center/zoom/camera/fly-to and a working custom progress layer that animates a touch-derived value. Discoverability comes from sensible defaults and prepopulated demo data (18 runs, ~24 miles); docs use tools like Jazzy to keep behavior unsurprising and extensible.
