What is the likely cause of the animation not completing in this UIKit code, and what is the recommended solution?
iOS interview question for Intermediate practice.
Answer
The UIView is removed from its superview before the animation completes.
Explanation
The code starts a 2-second animation but then schedules the view to be removed from its superview after only 1 second. When myView.removeFromSuperview() is called, the view is removed from the view hierarchy, which immediately stops any associated animations. The solution is to ensure the view remains in the hierarchy for the full duration of the animation. If removal is necessary, it should be done in the completion block of the animation to ensure it runs only after the animation has finished.
