Summary

Improves the two transition playground pages (AnimateLabView, TransitionRevivalView) used for verifying the animate APIs and transition revivals.

Verify layer and view renderables side by side

  • AnimateLabView now hosts two boxes: the existing plain CALayer box and a new layer-backed view box. Every action dispatches the same animate call to both, so the backedView model sync (the view's frame on macOS and alpha on both platforms) is exercised next to the plain-layer path.
  • TransitionRevivalView gets the same two-lane treatment: a layer-renderable box and a view-renderable box insert/remove together, so transition revivals are verified on both renderable kinds.
  • Boxes are named ("layer" / "view") via a CATextLayer painted on the box's own layer, so each box stays a single renderable for lifecycle logging and the name rides along during transitions.
  • Logs are tagged per box (EVENT(layer|view), SAMPLE(layer|view), STATE(layer|view)), with the view samples including the view's frame/alpha so a view-model desync is directly visible. Boxes are sampled independently, so a lockstep break shows up as one box logging without the other.

Playground button styling

  • The shared Playground.button now renders as a raised control (border, top bevel highlight, lift shadow) that presses flat, so buttons read as controls next to the plain color boxes.
  • Button titles are bounded to the button's width (with tail truncation as a safety net), and the AnimateLabView scenario rows are reflowed so the long scenario titles no longer clip or paint over neighboring buttons.

Test plan

  • make lint passes
  • make build-playground-iOS and make build-playground-macOS build
  • Visual pass on the iOS playground: titles don't clip, boxes are named, lanes animate in lockstep
  • Visual pass on the macOS playground (label orientation/crispness in the flipped hierarchy)

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Animation playgrounds now compare layer-based and view-based rendering side by side.
    • Movement, fading, corner-radius, reset, and transition demonstrations run synchronously across both render types.
    • Expanded sampling and event displays provide separate animation state details for each box.
  • Improvements

    • Playground controls now have clearer styling, sizing, borders, highlights, and pressed-state feedback.
    • Animation lab layouts have been enlarged for more space.
    • Debug output now includes clearer labels, formatted frames, and display-scale-aware rendering.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The playgrounds now compare layer-backed and view-backed boxes in separate lanes. AnimateLabView drives both boxes through shared animations. TransitionRevivalView tracks events and samples each box independently. Debug helpers add labels, rectangle formatting, display-scale handling, and styled buttons.

Changes

Playground rendering and animation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Debug rendering and button styling
playgrounds/ComposeUIPlayground-iOS/ComposeUIPlayground-iOS/PlaygroundViews/Playground+Debug.swift
Added rectangle formatting, reusable box labels, display-scale resolution, bounded button titles, borders, highlights, shadows, and centralized style constants.
AnimateLab dual-box animation
playgrounds/ComposeUIPlayground-iOS/ComposeUIPlayground-iOS/PlaygroundViews/Playground+AnimateLabView.swift, playgrounds/ComposeUIPlayground-iOS/ComposeUIPlayground-iOS/ViewController.swift, playgrounds/ComposeUIPlayground-macOS/ComposeUIPlayground-macOS/ViewController.swift
AnimateLabView now hosts layer-backed and view-backed boxes. Shared move, fade, corner, and reset actions update both boxes. Sampling logs each box separately. The host frame height is 360.
TransitionRevival dual-box tracking
playgrounds/ComposeUIPlayground-iOS/ComposeUIPlayground-iOS/PlaygroundViews/Playground+TransitionRevivalView.swift
TransitionRevivalView now renders layer-box and view-box lanes, tracks their references independently, routes lifecycle events by identifier, and logs separate layer and view samples.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to cbb80

The playground now adds per-box text labels, but display-scale changes may leave those labels blurry or incorrectly rendered on UIKit. This is a bounded, non-blocking risk and the PR is mergeable with owner awareness or follow-up to refresh label scale or add regression coverage.

Apple UIKit traitCollectionDidChange displayScale documentation CATextLayer contentsScale automatic update

💡 Result:

In UIKit, the contentsScale property of a CATextLayer does not update automatically when the displayScale trait changes [1][2]. While UIView automatically manages the contentsScale of its primary backing layer, custom CALayer objects—including CATextLayer instances you create and manage yourself—require you to update this property manually to match the current screen or trait resolution [1][2]. To handle these updates, you should monitor trait changes and explicitly set the contentsScale on your CATextLayer [1][2]. Modern best practices involve using trait registration rather than overriding the deprecated traitCollectionDidChange(_:) method [3]. Recommended approach: 1. Register for UITraitDisplayScale changes: Use the registerForTraitChanges(_:handler:) method (available on UITraitChangeObservable types) to observe changes to the display scale [4][3]. 2. Update the layer: In the registration handler, update the contentsScale property of your CATextLayer to reflect the new displayScale from the trait collection [4][1]. 3. Alternative (visionOS): If you are targeting visionOS, consider using the wantsDynamicContentScaling property on your CATextLayer. When set to true, this property allows the system to automatically handle resolution scaling for vector-based content like text [5]. For platforms other than visionOS, or when wantsDynamicContentScaling is not used, manually setting layer.contentsScale = traitCollection.displayScale (or UIScreen.main.scale) is the required standard to ensure text remains crisp [1][6][2].

Citations:


Refresh labels when the display scale changes.

On UIKit, BaseScrollView.traitCollectionDidChange(_:) only schedules a theme update. If only displayScale changes, the theme remains unchanged, so no Compose refresh updates the CATextLayer instances. They can retain the old contentsScale. Handle the display-scale change or add a regression test.
