I tried to add some pods like OneSignal and failed to do it so I deleted OneSignal pod and extensions but suddenly LTMorphingLabel got issues. It used to work perfectly for 2 months but after deleting other pods something strange happened

my pod file looks like this

# Uncomment this line to define a global platform for your project
platform :ios, '10.0'
use_frameworks!

target 'Jaee2' do
# Comment this line if you're not using Swift and don't want to use dynamic frameworks
  use_frameworks!

  # Pods for Jaee2
pod 'Haneke', '~> 1.0'
pod 'STLocationRequest'
pod 'SwiftyJSON'
pod 'Alamofire', '~> 4.4'
pod 'PasswordTextField'
pod 'SkyFloatingLabelTextField', '~> 3.0'
pod 'SwiftVideoBackground'
pod 'TIPBadgeManager', '~> 0.3.0'
pod 'LTMorphingLabel'
pod 'LocationPickerViewController'

end

I really like the label, but it keeps crashing the IBDesignables agent when it is programmatically embed it inside an IBDesignable view. The problem is that the IBDesignables agent can't instantiate a display link object to animate the change from empty to whatever other text one provides. Here, I've made 3 changes to get the label to work:

1. Added the designable tag to the class
2. Made the animation conditional on the target not being the IB agent. This prevents the above issue with the display link.
3. Forced the _originText to the new value for the IB agent. This is necessary to get the label to draw the characters correctly. If the value isn't set, then without the animation, the label will be blank (it's previous value).

I think this is the minimal change required to get the designables behavior, but it might not be the cleanest.

First of all, let me start by saying I love this project ! I have a project with 5-6 pods working on it, lately I've added this pod as well. everything find when i'm adding label on storyboard and setting it to LTMorphingLabel. The problem start when i'm trying to connect the label to code: @IBOutlet private var label: LTMorphingLabel! i'm getting this error, Use of undeclared type 'LTMorphingLabel'. I've tried to import LTMorphingLabel class but it's not recognise as well, of course i've tried to close the project and clean it. did it happen to any of you ? is there any solution for this ? thank you so much. god bless.

Hi,

Congrats for this label, it's very cool. I have a problem. Everything displays properly centered on IOS 7 but is offsetted to the right on iOS 8 . Do you have an idea?

Thanks

I'm attempting to build the latest version of the framework using Carthage and Xcode 12 GM. It seems that it builds correctly in the example project, but when I do it through Carthage, it fails. I can't figure out why, though. It claims it can't find the SwiftUI symbols, but that cannot be the case if it builds in the example project.

This usually indicates that project itself failed to compile.

Lags in the animation on the latest version 0.6.0.

And on 0.5.9 version of the library everything was ok.

My class AnimatedLabel added via Storyboard.

import LTMorphingLabel
import UIKit

class AnimatedLabel: LTMorphingLabel {
  
  required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
    super.init(coder: aDecoder)
    
    morphingEffect = .evaporate
    morphingDuration = 0.7
  }
}

Hi!

We really like this library and started using it in production. We're using the .scale effect.

http://crashes.to/s/3cdb2e84de8

This is indicates that it is crashing on: s.draw(in: charRect, withAttributes: [ NSFontAttributeName: UIFont.init(name: font.fontName, size: charLimbo.size)!, NSForegroundColorAttributeName: textColor.withAlphaComponent(charLimbo.alpha) ])

Which I'm not sure what to do about exactly. Any thoughts?

A brand new and pure swift project, followed the instruction to add LTMorphingLabel. Build is fine, but when app is running, XCODE gives EXC_BAD_ACCESS. wondering why...

When my view first loaded, I want to set some value for the label without effect animation. How to make it?

self.upNumTxt.text = "init val"

Any suggestions ? Thx

I've added the files manually to my project (just drag&drop, no framework created) since I have some issues with CocoaPods/Carthage. I have also set the Interface Builder class object of the label to LTMorphingLabel. Did not add module since it's the current one.

Issue is the label is displayed with some default font instead of the one set in the storyboard. The text also has a big top offset and only the top half is displayed. The label does not have a height constraint in the storyboard, it just has top/bottom/trailing/leading spaces to superview set.

Thank you for the library, I really appreciate it. Job well done!

Edit: The text position is almost fixed if I call layoutSubviews() on the label. The baseline is still a few pixels lower than the text using UILabel.

I would appriciate it if you tell me that your App is using LTMorphingLabel. Your shinny app may encourage me to make this lib better. And I'll list your App in the README.

Thanks.

Thank you for the great library!

I have a problem regarding the width of the label went beyond the maxWidth of the frame. Is there any solution to this that I possibly missed?

The red border is the SwiftUI frame maxWidth.

First of all, great library!

I'll introduce the problem first, check the spacing from the leftmost 3 to the comma, that spacing increases on the first animation and then stays the same. It seems like a small issue but it can be really seen when using the app.

I am using LTMorphingLabel inside a UITableViewCell and the only way I could find to make it work was by adding it as a subview, like this:

titleLabel?.removeFromSuperview()
titleLabel = nil

titleLabel = LTMorphingLabel()
titleLabel!.morphingEnabled = false /// If I don't implement this morphingEnabled false/true the label would animate every time it's shown
titleLabel!.delegate = self
titleLabel!.morphingEffect = .evaporate
titleLabel!.text = formattedNumber /// This is a number formatted to include a comma every 3 characters counting from the right
titleLabel!.textAlignment = .center
titleLabel!.font = UIFont(name: "Silka-SemiBold", size: 28)
titleLabelContainer.addSubview(titleLabel!)
titleLabel!.morphingEnabled = true

My first thought was maybe some attributedText could be the issue but couldn't find out why this is happening, any help would be appreciated.

I got this Error: Thread 1: Fatal error: Index out of range Here:

func limboOfNewCharacter(
        _ char: Character,
        index: Int,
        progress: Float) -> LTCharacterLimbo {
            
            let currentRect = newRects[index] <---- here i got : Thread 1: Fatal error: Index out of range
            var currentFontSize = CGFloat(
                LTEasing.easeOutQuint(progress, 0, Float(font.pointSize))

the textlabel was empty (view did load) before i added new text later.

Hi thanks for this awesome lib. Unfortunately, it doesn't render correctly with Khmer script. I attach the video and screenshot for your reference.

Note: The text above and below should render the same

Thanks
