What is the equivalent of a SnackBar in Swift/iOS [closed]

Question

I'm porting an Android application to iOS. Part of the user-interface is an Android Snackbar; a small box at the bottom of the screen alerting the user of something, while not being a full-fledged dialog:

I tried different methods of the built-in UIAlertView from this post but there was nothing alike. Is this even possible with Swift and what are the best frameworks for Snackbar imitation?

Does this answer your question? snackbar with custom Function call in Swift — Hung Vu

It's because your question is too general and broad - which means someone probably has asked this before, and yeah, a lot have. You should ask only when there is no question on SOF that can answer you ;) — Hung Vu

You can display a notification instead of showing a snackbar. — astroboy

@acmpo6ou Out of curiosity, what do you mean? A notification is "outside" of the app (handled by the OS, triggered by the app), whereas the snackbar is "inside" the app's UI. — Ars_Codicis

SnackBar (along with Toast, PopupDialog, etc.) is a concept baked into Android, and there's no equivalent on iOS.

You can:

create a custom component, and handle fly-in and fly-out animations, or,
use external libraries. My go-to is ahmedAlmasri's SnackBar.swift, which resembles a lot of that on Android.
