Creating iOS animations with Claude Code and voice prompting

Initial Animation Structure Prompt

Animation Refinement Prompt

Building Complex iOS Animations with Voice Prompting

1. Open Xcode and start a new Blank Project.
2. Open the project folder using the Cursor editor or access Claude Code through the terminal.
3. Enable 'Voice Dictation' on your device to start giving verbal commands and save typing time.
4. Give a highly detailed voice prompt to Claude Code: Start by instructing it to create a button that, when clicked, triggers an 'AI Searching' simulation animation.
5. Detail the first phase of the animation: 'Searching' text with a 'shimmering' effect.
6. Detail the second phase: After 1 second, the 'Searching' text drops down and is replaced by 'Analyzing' text dropping in from the top on the same line.
7. Detail the third phase: Display 'Found 10 sources' with three circles to the left and hardcoded sources like 'YouTube' or 'New York'.
8. Instruct Claude Code to ensure the text doesn't overflow by setting a 'one line' limit (cut off) during the animation.
9. Press Enter to let Claude Code automatically generate the SwiftUI code into your Xcode project.
10. Run the app in the Xcode Simulator to see the AI's work.
11. Use the 'Slow Animations' feature in the Simulator to carefully inspect the animation's movement quality.
12. Provide a follow-up prompt to refine the results, such as increasing the duration of each animation to 2 seconds or intensifying the 'shimmering' effect.
13. Repeat the iteration process (roughly 10 to 20 prompts) until you reach the desired level of polish.
