I set loopAnimation to YES ,it works fine frist,but when I pressed the home button,and then back the app, the animation stopped

+1

I think it would be nice to have this as a controllable flag, so the view could handle the pause/resume if it was playing when entering background and becoming active.

BTW thanks for a great project!

I think it is base on Core animation, so .... how to fix it?

seeing this same problem... Added an animation as subview to an UIView object, loop is on yes but the animation disappears after a few seconds...

@Eziooooo In Core Animation ,set CAAnimation removeOnCompletion = NO; can solve this problem, but this don't work for lottie...

+1 the same problem , emmmmmmmm, so .... somebody tell how to fix plz......

In viewdidappear you can check isAnimationPlaying property. If Its false call [animationView play]

+1 the same problem

@Brsoyan It wont't work, come to foreground, UIViewController will not call viewdidappear,
but you can observe system Notification --UIApplicationWillEnterForegroundNotification ,but it is kind of stupid.

I have the same problem, and I have downgraded to V 2.0.3:

pod 'lottie-ios', '2.0.3'

Worked for me...

Just implemented viewDidLayoutSubview() method, put the animation within the method and it works fine. Thank you!

I tried to hook play method in the category's load method and added a listener to UIApplicationDidEnterBackgroundNotification and UIApplicationDidBecomeActiveNotification notifications to solve this problem.
But I don’t know if this will have any risk, or do you have any suggestions?

Maybe it's stopping for saving energy.

Just observe UIApplicationWillEnterForegroundNotification in your view controller

[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserverForName:UIApplicationWillEnterForegroundNotification object:nil queue:[NSOperationQueue mainQueue] usingBlock:^(NSNotification * _Nonnull note) {
    if (![animationView isAnimationPlaying]) {
                [animationView play];
            }
}];

Hey!
I had the same problem which is the animation disappear when i leave the page where the animation is located and come back to it later
i solved it although i work on Lottie.Forms but the solution is generic it gonna work for each one of you.
there is some event fired when the animation page loads right regardless your platform is right?
you subscribe to this event and do this:
remove the animation view implemented earlier
insert a new animation object within the same place

it's not very friendly to the performance but it woks since there is no official solution from Lottie themselves

Have you tried to program a simple delay? My animation was stopping after the first play, then I did:

        DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 2) { 
            // Your code with delay
            self.animatedView.loopAnimation = true
            self.animatedView.play()
        }

and it started working. Hope it helps!
