iOS Development - SwiftUI Animations

Hey everyone! I've been diving deep into SwiftUI animations lately and have discovered some really effective patterns and techniques to create beautiful, responsive, and performant animations. This thread is dedicated to sharing and discussing these best practices. Let's cover everything from understanding the animation curves, leveraging implicit vs. explicit animations, state management for complex sequences, optimizing performance, and avoiding common pitfalls.

A common point of confusion for newcomers is the difference between simply wrapping a state change in `withAnimation` and explicitly defining an `Animation` struct. Let's break down when to use each, the parameters available (like `.easeInOut`, `.spring()`, `.timingCurve()`), and how to chain animations effectively. Share your favorite examples!

As our app's UI becomes more dynamic, keeping animations smooth is crucial. This thread focuses on advanced performance considerations. We'll discuss identifying animation bottlenecks, using the `timelineView` for synchronized animations, avoiding unnecessary view re-renders during animations, and strategies for animating large lists or complex view hierarchies efficiently. What tools do you use to debug animation performance?
