iOS Rich Media & Animations

The AppDNA iOS SDK supports rich media content across onboarding flows, paywalls, in-app messages, and surveys. All rich media is configured in the AppDNA Console — no code changes are needed to add animations, videos, or effects to your flows.

​

Supported Formats

​

Lottie Animations

Lottie animation support requires adding lottie-ios as a separate SPM dependency in your project. The SDK includes the rendering infrastructure.

• Remote URL — provide a URL to a .json Lottie file
• Inline JSON — embed the animation JSON directly in the config
• Controls — autoplay, loop, speed, play-on-scroll, play-on-tap
• Color overrides — remap colors in the animation without re-exporting

Lottie is supported in onboarding content blocks, paywall sections, in-app message hero areas, and survey thank-you screens.

​

Rive Animations

Rive animation support requires adding rive-ios as a separate SPM dependency in your project. The SDK includes the rendering infrastructure.

• Remote URL — provide a URL to a .riv file
• Artboard selection — choose which artboard to display
• State machine — drive interactive animations with state machine inputs
• Trigger on completion — fire a state machine trigger when the step or flow completes

Rive is supported in onboarding content blocks and paywall sections.

​

Video

Inline video playback with native AVPlayer:

• Remote URL — provide a URL to an MP4 or HLS video
• Thumbnail — optional poster image shown before playback
• Controls — autoplay, loop, muted, show/hide controls
• Sizing — configurable height and corner radius

Video is supported in onboarding content blocks, paywall sections, and in-app message hero areas.

​

Visual Effects

​

Haptic Feedback

Haptic feedback is triggered automatically based on Console configuration. Supported haptic types: Haptic triggers can be configured for:

• Step advances (onboarding)
• Button taps
• Plan selection (paywalls)
• Option selection (surveys, forms)
• Toggle changes
• Form submission
• Error and success states

​

Particle Effects

Particle effects overlay the current screen. Supported effect types: Each effect has a trigger (on_appear, on_step_complete, on_purchase, on_flow_complete), duration, intensity (light, medium, heavy), and optional custom colors.

​

Blur / Glassmorphism

Blur backdrops use native UIVisualEffectView for performant glassmorphism effects:

• Radius — blur intensity
• Tint — overlay color tint
• Saturation — color saturation adjustment

Blur is supported as a backdrop for in-app message modals and fullscreen overlays.

​

Icons

The SDK supports structured icon references across all modules. Icons are resolved to platform-native equivalents: Icons are used in onboarding content blocks, paywall feature lists, in-app message CTA buttons, and survey question options.

​

Content Blocks

Onboarding steps support rich content blocks that are rendered in order. Each block has a type and optional styling:

​

Styling

All visual elements support fine-grained styling through the Console:

• Text styles — font family, size, weight, color, alignment, line height, letter spacing, opacity
• Backgrounds — solid color, linear/radial gradient, or remote image with overlay
• Borders — width, color, style, and per-corner radius
• Shadows — offset, blur, spread, and color
• Spacing — per-side padding and margin
• Animations — entry animations (slide, fade, scale), section stagger, CTA pulse/glow/bounce, dismiss animations

​

Dynamic Content Templates

Rich media content supports template interpolation using {{variable}} syntax. Available namespaces: Use the pipe syntax for fallback values: {{user.name | there}} renders as “there” if the user name is not set.

​

No Code Required

All rich media features are configured in the AppDNA Console. The SDK renders them automatically based on the config bundle. You do not need to write any code to use Lottie, Rive, video, haptics, particles, blur, icons, or content blocks.
