Swift: Reset frame of a UIView to its constraints after animation

Question

I am setting a UIImageView using constraints added programmatically in viewDidLoad.

Later on, after the user interacts with some buttons on the screen, I move the view by changing its frame using CAKeyframeAnimation with an array ofCGRect` values for the movement.

Now later in the app lifecycle, I'd like the UIImageView returned to where it was originally placed (using the constraints that I haven't changed). Is there a way to reset the frames to their initial constraints?

It's possible to revert to the original values using removeAnimation, doc here. So if use set your animation (let's say move) like:

let animation = CAKeyframeAnimation()
animation.keyPath = "position.y"
animation.values = [0, 200]
animation.keyTimes = [0, 1]
animation.duration = 1
animation.isAdditive = true
animation.fillMode = kCAFillModeForwards
animation.isRemovedOnCompletion = false
innerView.layer.add(animation, forKey: "move")

then whenever you need to revert, you might call:

innerView.layer.removeAnimation(forKey: "move")
