Value of type 'AnimationView?' has no member 'setAnimation'

Question

I am trying to add an animation to my application using Lottie but I get this error and I still do not know how to solve it.

import UIKit
import Lottie

class ViewController: UIViewController {
    @IBOutlet var animationView: AnimationView!

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        startAnimation()
    }
    
    func startAnimation(){
        animationView.setAnimation(named: "data")//error1
        animationView.loopAnimation = true//error2
        animationView.play()
    }
}

The error that comes out:

Value of type 'AnimationView?' has no member 'setAnimation'

Value of type 'AnimationView?' has no member 'loopAnimation'

Answer 1

it seems you are new in swift.

this happen because the class AnimationView does not have function named setAnimation(named:) or variable named loopAnimation, you need to declare them inside AnimationView class

This answer is unhelpful. He could be using swift package manager or Cocoapods and is just looking for the updated syntax. – Dissuasion

Answer 2

I'm using lottie-ios version 3.1.3 and ran into this same issue. After a little bit of digging I found that the syntax has changed. For your first error you need to change the code to the following:

animationView.animation = Animation.named("spineffectloader")

For the second error you should change the code to the following:

animationView.loopMode = .loop
