Animating view or layer background color?

[davidolesch]

Trying to animate color is causing crashes for me. I tried both kPOPViewBackgroundColor and kPOPLayerBackgroundColor.

Animating with the kPOPViewBackgroundColor property crashes the app due to uncaught exception 'Unsuported value', reason: 'Animating UICachedDeviceRGBColor values is not supported'.

Animating with the kPOPLayerBackgroundColor property crashes the app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'unhandled type 9'.

I'm doing really simple animations like

POPBasicAnimation *colorAnim = [POPBasicAnimation animationWithPropertyNamed:kPOPViewBackgroundColor];
    colorAnim.toValue = [UIColor redColor];
    [someView pop_addAnimation:colorAnim forKey:@"colorAnim"];

Use colorAnim.toValue = (__bridge id)([UIColor redColor].CGColor);

Correct. We currently support CGColorRef natively, but UIColor support would be a nice enhancement. Let's use this issue to track.

We now support UIColor and NSColor.

Thanks Kimon. I pulled in the new pod and confirmed that UIColor works.

Excellent. Thanks for confirming.
