Non-blocking UIView animated scaling

Question

I'd like to animate scaling a UIView and all of its content in a non blocking way. Currently I do this ...

    [UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];
    [UIView setAnimationDuration:0.1];
    [UIView setAnimationDelegate:self];
    [UIView setAnimationCurve:UIViewAnimationCurveEaseInOut];
            CGAffineTransform transform = CGAffineTransformMakeScale(1.1,1.1);
            self.view.transform = transform;
    [UIView commitAnimations];

However it is blocking. I would rather use something like ...

[UIView animateWithDuration:0.2
                     animations:^{
                CGAffineTransform transform = CGAffineTransformMakeScale(1.1,1.1);
                self.view.transform = transform;
                     }];

... but animateWithDuration doesn't to work with CALayer/CGAffineTransform transformation. How can I achieve the same animation without blocking anything?

Answer 1

try using:

[UIView animateWithDuration:0.2
 animations:^{
   CGAffineTransform transform =
     CGAffineTransformScale(CGAffineTransformIdentity, 2.0, 2.0);
 self.view.transform = transform;
 }];

Just adding a useful note to this great answer, almost always you want to turn on rasterisation, so it looks smooth

self.view.layer.shouldRasterize = YES;
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.2
 animations:^{
   CGAffineTransform transform =
     CGAffineTransformScale(CGAffineTransformIdentity, 0.5, 0.5);
 self.view.transform = transform;
 }];
