1. Pagesheets/Formsheets

Normally when presenting a pagesheet or formsheet the presenting ViewController doesn't trigger viewWillDisappear() and viewDidDisappear(). Also when dismissing viewWillAppear(), viewIsAppearing(), viewDidAppear() won't get called. To fix this you can use the 🚀 versions of these methods which will get called!

Bonus feature

When you drag down a pagesheet and you release it above the treshold the pagesheet snaps back up. This triggers viewWillAppear(), viewIsAppearing() and viewDidAppear(), but at the same time after the animation has finished. However, viewWillAppear🚀() and viewIsAppearing🚀() will be triggered as soon as you let go and the animations starts.

2. Backgrounding/Foregrounding

Normally when backgrounding or foregrounding an app no lifecycle methods get called. However, 🚀 methods will get called! When backgrounding the top most ViewController will trigger viewWillDisappear🚀() and viewDidDisappear🚀(). When foregrounding the top most ViewController will trigger viewWillAppear🚀(), viewIsAppearing🚀() and viewDidAppear🚀().

Installation

First install this package through SPM using the Github url https://github.com/Janneman84/BoostedLifecycleMethods. Make sure the library is linked to the target.

Then all you have to do is add import BoostedLifecycleMethods to your ViewController and the 🚀 lifecycle methods should become available.

Warnings

• When overriding regular lifecycle methods make sure to call super inside them, else the 🚀 counterparts will not work.
• Do not call super to a regular lifecycle method inside a 🚀 one, this will trigger an assertion error.
• Calling super to a 🚀 method inside a 🚀 method is not necessary (but allowed).
