Group Animation in ios - ios

Question

I'm making a custom loader which has circular shaped layer inside and It will animate in two way. First shape will animate pulsing like scaling it's radius increase and decrease with infinite time and in same time it will rotate inside the view with around the center of view. But now my group animation does't work properly, view didn't rotate full radius and scaling didn't worked
here's my code review and tell me where I'm doing mistake.
class ViewController: UIViewController {
#IBOutlet weak var loaderView: UIView!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
//circularLoader()
}
override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
super.viewWillAppear(animated)
}
override func viewWillLayoutSubviews() {
super.viewWillLayoutSubviews()
drawCircularLoader()
}
func drawCircularLoader(){
let width = loaderView.bounds.width
let halfWidth = width / 2
let size = CGSize(width: halfWidth / 2, height: halfWidth / 2)
let rect = CGRect(x: halfWidth - (size.width / 2), y: (halfWidth / 2) - (size.height / 2), width: size.width, height: size.height)
let path = UIBezierPath(ovalIn: rect)
let layer = CAShapeLayer()
layer.frame = rect
layer.fillColor = UIColor.black.cgColor
layer.path = path.cgPath
loaderView.layer.addSublayer(layer)
let rotation = CABasicAnimation(keyPath: "transform.rotation")
rotation.fromValue = 0
rotation.toValue = 2.0 * .pi
rotation.duration = 1.5
layer.add(rotation, forKey: nil)
let scaling = CABasicAnimation(keyPath: "transform.scale")
scaling.toValue = 1.2
scaling.duration = 0.3
scaling.autoreverses = true
let group = CAAnimationGroup()
group.animations = [rotation, scaling]
group.repeatCount = .infinity
layer.add(group, forKey: nil)
}
}

Answer 1

The immediate problem is that the animation group has no duration. It needs a duration long enough for all its child animations to complete. Otherwise everything just stops after .2 seconds (the default). Try giving the group a duration of 1.5.
In a broader sense I doubt whether your overall goal is a good use of an animation group at all. But that's a different matter. Plus you have two transform animations; they might be interfering with each other (transform is one animatable property), so a different approach might be needed.
