iOS animating object goes back to original position

Question

I am trying to animate the position of a UIView object with CABasicAnimation on a button Tap. The object animated and moves to the 'to' position, but returns back to the original position after the animation ends. I want to retain the position of the view object even after the animation ends. This the code snippet that performs the animation. viewObject is the object which I'm trying to animate.

let animation = CABasicAnimation(keyPath: "position")
animation.timingFunction = CAMediaTimingFunction(controlPoints: 0.86, 0, 0.07, 1.0)
animation.duration = 0.5
animation.fromValue = NSValue(cgPoint: CGPoint(x: viewObject.center.x, y: viewObject.center.y))
animation.toValue = NSValue(cgPoint: CGPoint(x: viewObject.center.x + 64, y: viewObject.center.y))
viewObject.layer.add(animation, forKey: "position")

Answer 1

add following lines before adding animation

animation.isRemovedOnCompletion = false
animation.fillMode = kCAFillModeForwards

Swift

animation.fillMode = .forwards
animation.isRemovedOnCompletion = false
