SwiftGif | 🌠 A small UIImage extension with gif support | Animation library

I have an app with 3 views, 2 of them are tableViews (lists) and on the third view Im trying load gifs through passing data (text and gifs), different for each item in the list.

I have found an extension to play gifs called SwiftGif, which works great when using in ordinary viewControllers, but the gif is not moving when passing data between tableViews.

SwiftGif contains function:

I do some stuff on native part of my application. Then, when I get sessionID from my server, I set it to WKWebView. Then, I load my webpage to webview itself. The problem is, I used the function called "didfinish" for playing a gif. That function works, it is called everytime, however when I tried to stop gif, it says nil to my image view.

I put my imageview on top of a view, which covers the WKWebview, with that user won't see, a blank view till it's fully loaded.

The gifs I fetch from the Giphy API returns correctly and in fact loads properly to the uicollectionview using SwiftGif.

The issue only surfaces when I scroll immediately, the uicollectionview loads either duplicate gifs or gifs that are in the incorrect index. I understand this is probably a timing issue with the delay in rendering the gif and loading the gif to the cell.

Any guidance would be appreciated as asynchronous operations are something I'm still unfamiliar with..

Also any best practices for handling gifs would be appreciated if there are any flags in the code below, specifically to support speed/memory usage.

I've tried placing various checks like seeing if the initially passed gif url is the same at the point it's loaded, and also setting the image to nil every time cellForItemAt is fired, but to no avail. Couldn't find existing threads that clearly resolved this issue as well.

Followed the instructions from video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rm61mxcSD4U&t=95s

Added my animated GIF file, one.GIF.

Tried running, but get error:

SwiftGif: This image named "one" does not exist.

I found a gif I would like to play on my LaunchScreen.storyboard, and since my research supported that Swift 4 didn't natively support playing gifs, I found a CocoaPod named SwiftGif that auto-plays gifs in a UIImageView. With SwiftGif, you have to programmatically assign the gif to the UIImageView.

let jeremyGif = UIImage.gif(name: "jeremy")

If you just select the gif from the dropdown of images in the Storyboard, it won't play. The problem is that I can't give the LaunchScreen.storyboard file (or a view inside of it) a custom class, or I will get this error. What can I do?

I'm using Xcode 9.2, Swift 4, MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2017, Four Thunderbolt 3 Ports), and macOS High Sierra 10.13.2.

Thank you!

When I try to render a GIF image (selected from photo library, whose data type is PHAsset), I use the following code:

I have been testing several different extensions for viewing animated GIFs in iOS. Here are my (non-scientific) results:

I'm using SwiftGif framework to animate a GIF I made, problem is I need to know which image is currently displaying. The extension is using UIImage.animatedImage(with images: [UIImage], duration: TimeInterval) -> UIImage? to display the animated image.

Here is how I load my gif :
