Chapter 57
Implementing Hero Animations with NavigationTransition

In Chapter 26, you learned how to build an App Store-like animation from scratch using built-in modifiers such as matchedGeometryEffect. Recognizing that many developers aim to replicate the hero animation found in the App Store app, Apple's engineers have now integrated this functionality directly into the iOS SDK. As a result, you can now implement an animated transition effect similar to that used in the App Store with just a few lines of code.

In this chapter, you will learn how to use SwiftUI’s NavigationTransition protocol, introduced in iOS 18, to implement the hero animation.

Let's get started!

If your app only supports iOS 18 (or later), you can use the built-in zoom transition to implement the App Store like animation. Please refer to chapter 57 for details.
