将动画添加到子视图时，将立即调用CATransaction完成块

Question

I'm trying to start animation on the newly added UIImageView as subview but it seems that completion block is called immediately in this case even though animations are added after the CATransaction.setCompletionBlock

addSubview(imageView)

CATransaction.begin()

let posAnimation = positionAnimation(startPoint: startPoint, endPoint: endPoint, beginTime: beginTime, duration: duration)
let alpAnimation = alphaAnimation(beginTime: beginTime, duration: duration)

CATransaction.setCompletionBlock{ [weak self] in
print("deleting view")
//imageView.removeFromSuperview()
}

imageView.layer.add(posAnimation, forKey: nil)
imageView.layer.add(alpAnimation, forKey: nil)

CATransaction.commit()

Animations:

private func positionAnimation(startPoint: CGPoint, endPoint:CGPoint, beginTime: CFTimeInterval, duration: CFTimeInterval) -> CAKeyframeAnimation {
    let positionAnimation = CAKeyframeAnimation(keyPath: "position")

    positionAnimation.path = customPath(middlePoint: startPoint, endPoint: endPoint).cgPath
    positionAnimation.isRemovedOnCompletion = false
    positionAnimation.duration = duration
    positionAnimation.beginTime = beginTime
    positionAnimation.fillMode = CAMediaTimingFillMode.forwards
    return positionAnimation
}

private func alphaAnimation(beginTime: CFTimeInterval, duration: CFTimeInterval) -> CAKeyframeAnimation {
    let alphaAnimation = CAKeyframeAnimation(keyPath: "opacity")
    alphaAnimation.isRemovedOnCompletion = false
    alphaAnimation.fillMode = CAMediaTimingFillMode.forwards
    alphaAnimation.values = [1.0, 1.0, 0.0]
    alphaAnimation.keyTimes = [0.0,0.5,1.0]
    alphaAnimation.duration = duration
    alphaAnimation.beginTime = beginTime
    return alphaAnimation
}

Any idea why is it not working?

Clearly, the animation is not on the rendering tree. ie the view has no superView . or somewhere its superView has no superView . You may need to check whether the view implementing functions was added to a window or view somewhere.
