Swipe Subview Off Screen - ios

Question

I have an image view as a subview and I'm trying to implement a swipe up gesture to fling it off screen. The swipe works but it doesn't animate.
This is how I'm adding the subview:
- (void)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView didSelectItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
[collectionView deselectItemAtIndexPath:indexPath animated:YES];
InstagramMedia *media = mediaArray[indexPath.row];
for (int i = 0; i < mediaArray.count; i++)
{
InstagramMedia *instagramMedia = [mediaArray objectAtIndex:i];
[imageArray addObject:instagramMedia.standardResolutionImageURL];
}
largeImageArray = imageArray;
imageIndex = indexPath.row;
UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes *attributes = [self.collectionView layoutAttributesForItemAtIndexPath:indexPath];
CGRect cellRect = attributes.frame;
blurredView = [[UIToolbar alloc]initWithFrame:self.view.bounds];
[blurredView setBarStyle:UIBarStyleBlackOpaque];
[self.view addSubview:blurredView];
imageView = [[UIImageView alloc]initWithFrame:cellRect];
imageView.contentMode = UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFit;
imageView.userInteractionEnabled = YES;
[imageView setImageWithURL:media.standardResolutionImageURL placeholderImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"placeholder"]];
[self.view addSubview:imageView];
CGRect finalFrame = CGRectMake(0, 50, 320, 301);
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.5 animations:^{
imageView.frame = finalFrame;
}];
UISwipeGestureRecognizer *swipeRecognizer = [[UISwipeGestureRecognizer alloc]initWithTarget:self action:#selector(swipeLeft:)];
swipeRecognizer.direction = UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirectionLeft;
[self.view addGestureRecognizer:swipeRecognizer];
UISwipeGestureRecognizer *swipeRightRecognizer = [[UISwipeGestureRecognizer alloc]initWithTarget:self action:#selector(swipeRight:)];
swipeRightRecognizer.direction = UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirectionRight;
[self.view addGestureRecognizer:swipeRightRecognizer];
swipeUpRecognizer = [[UISwipeGestureRecognizer alloc]initWithTarget:self action:#selector(swipeUp:)];
swipeUpRecognizer.direction = UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirectionUp;
[self.view addGestureRecognizer:swipeUpRecognizer];
}
And this is what I'm trying to do:
- (IBAction)swipeUp:(id)sender
{
CGRect finalFrame = CGRectMake(0, -100, 320, 301);
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.5 animations:^{
imageView.frame = finalFrame;
[imageView removeFromSuperview];
[blurredView removeFromSuperview];
[self.view removeGestureRecognizer:swipeUpRecognizer];
}];
}

Answer 1

- (IBAction)swipeUp:(id)sender
{
CGRect finalFrame = CGRectMake(0, -100, 320, 301);
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.5 animations:^{
imageView.frame = finalFrame;
} completion:^(BOOL finished) {
[imageView removeFromSuperview];
[blurredView removeFromSuperview];
[self.view removeGestureRecognizer:swipeUpRecognizer];
}];
}
You were removing view before the animation ends... that's why its' happening.
