    [UIView animateWithDuration:1.0
                      delay: 0.0
                    options: UIViewAnimationOptionAllowUserInteraction | UIViewAnimationOptionCurveEaseOut | UIViewAnimationOptionRepeat
                 animations:^{
                     self.circle.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(M_PI * 2.0f);
                 }
                 completion:^(BOOL finished){

                 }];

This animation never starts. Any number I use for the radian angle it seems Cocoa is a bit 'too smart' and either rounds it within the nearest PI or as in the above, decides that there is no need to animate because start and end angle is the same 360=0 degrees. So even if I try doing 359 degrees, the circle just animates 1 degree counter clock-wise, instead of a complete-1 degree rotation.

How can I do a simple continuous 360 degree rotation of my view?

Thanks in advance:)

  • You can try using CAAnimations directly, as described in [this answer](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/518530/rotate-a-uiview-around-its-center-but-several-times). – jtbandes Jul 23 '11 at 17:15
  • Thanks. It just annoys me that Apple recommends the block approach, but I continuously run into things it either can't do or that involves crazy hacks to do simple animations. In the above I could wrap one 180 animation from 0 to 180 degree in one block and another for the 180 to 360 degree. This would however not be able to repeat unless I call the method holding the animation from inside the second completion block - creating an infinite loop that can not be stopped again.. I also note that none of the answers in the thread are marked as correct? – RickiG Jul 23 '11 at 17:27
  • You could stop the loop with a counter variable or various other methods. But I agree, it would be nice if it worked. I suggest you [file an enhancement request](http://bugreport.apple.com). – jtbandes Jul 23 '11 at 17:32
  • I went over it back and forth and the most sane way to do it is as you suggest to use the CAAnimation approach. – RickiG Jul 23 '11 at 20:51
