This is how I figured out how Instagram zoom works
We find features by accident, right? That’s what happened to me this afternoon.
I’m learning Swift since a quite bunch of time (1/2 months), usually, I like to experiment and try to replicate “big apps/websites” features. That it’s quite easy when you want to replicate something on the web, as a web developer you have the browser dev tools that show you the source code, but what when you want to do the same with an app?
Today I was playing around with GestureRecognizers and I was trying to have the “swipe back gesture” recognized on the half right of the screen when I accidentally dragged away from the screen my `view`. Then I realized that it was quite similar to Instagram’s photos zoom gesture.
So I thought that it could have been a great idea to try to replicate it…
Below the boilerplate that we will use to reproduce the pinch/drag effect
