How do you create a wiggle animation similar to iphone deletion animation

The answer by Vinzius is very cool. However the wobble only rotates from 0 Radians to 0.08. Thus the wobble can look a little unbalanced. If you get this same issue then you may want to add both a negative and a positive rotation by using a CAKeyframeAnimation rather than a CABasicRotation:

- (CAAnimation*)getShakeAnimation {    CAKeyframeAnimation* animation = [CAKeyframeAnimation animationWithKeyPath:@"transform"];    CGFloat wobbleAngle = 0.06f;    NSValue* valLeft = [NSValue valueWithCATransform3D:CATransform3DMakeRotation(wobbleAngle, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f)];    NSValue* valRight = [NSValue valueWithCATransform3D:CATransform3DMakeRotation(-wobbleAngle, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f)];    animation.values = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:valLeft, valRight, nil];    animation.autoreverses = YES;      animation.duration = 0.125;    animation.repeatCount = HUGE_VALF;      return animation;    }

You can use this animation method for your view or button like this.

[self.yourbutton.layer addAnimation:[self getShakeAnimation] forKey:@""];

SWIFT :-

let transformAnim  = CAKeyframeAnimation(keyPath:"transform")transformAnim.values  = [NSValue(CATransform3D: CATransform3DMakeRotation(0.04, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0)),NSValue(CATransform3D: CATransform3DMakeRotation(-0.04 , 0, 0, 1))]transformAnim.autoreverses = truetransformAnim.duration  = (Double(indexPath.row)%2) == 0 ?   0.115 : 0.105transformAnim.repeatCount = Float.infinityself.layer.addAnimation(transformAnim, forKey: "transform")

Objective C :-

-(CAKeyframeAnimation *)wiggleView{    CAKeyframeAnimation* animation = [CAKeyframeAnimation animationWithKeyPath:@"transform"];    CGFloat wobbleAngle = 0.04f;    NSValue* valLeft = [NSValue valueWithCATransform3D:CATransform3DMakeRotation(wobbleAngle, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f)];    NSValue* valRight = [NSValue valueWithCATransform3D:CATransform3DMakeRotation(-wobbleAngle, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f)];    animation.values = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:valLeft, valRight, nil];    animation.autoreverses = YES;    animation.duration = 0.125;    animation.repeatCount = HUGE_VALF;    return animation;}

Looking at the iOS implementation a bit closer, there are two things that make theirs a bit more realistic than the code mentioned here:

• The icons appear to have a bounce as well as a rotation
• Every icon has its own timing -- they are not all synchronized

I based myself on the answers here (and with some help from this answer) to add the rotation, the bounce and a bit of randomness to the duration of each animation.

#define kWiggleBounceY 4.0f#define kWiggleBounceDuration 0.12#define kWiggleBounceDurationVariance 0.025#define kWiggleRotateAngle 0.06f#define kWiggleRotateDuration 0.1#define kWiggleRotateDurationVariance 0.025-(void)startWiggling {    [UIView animateWithDuration:0                     animations:^{                         [self.layer addAnimation:[self rotationAnimation] forKey:@"rotation"];                         [self.layer addAnimation:[self bounceAnimation] forKey:@"bounce"];                         self.transform = CGAffineTransformIdentity;                     }];}-(CAAnimation*)rotationAnimation {    CAKeyframeAnimation* animation = [CAKeyframeAnimation animationWithKeyPath:@"transform.rotation.z"];    animation.values = @[@(-kWiggleRotateAngle), @(kWiggleRotateAngle)];    animation.autoreverses = YES;    animation.duration = [self randomizeInterval:kWiggleRotateDuration                                    withVariance:kWiggleRotateDurationVariance];    animation.repeatCount = HUGE_VALF;    return animation;}-(CAAnimation*)bounceAnimation {    CAKeyframeAnimation* animation = [CAKeyframeAnimation animationWithKeyPath:@"transform.translation.y"];    animation.values = @[@(kWiggleBounceY), @(0.0)];    animation.autoreverses = YES;    animation.duration = [self randomizeInterval:kWiggleBounceDuration                                    withVariance:kWiggleBounceDurationVariance];    animation.repeatCount = HUGE_VALF;    return animation;}-(NSTimeInterval)randomizeInterval:(NSTimeInterval)interval withVariance:(double)variance {    double random = (arc4random_uniform(1000) - 500.0) / 500.0;    return interval + variance * random;}

I implemented this code on a UICollectionView which had 30 items bouncing and the performance was flawless on an iPad 2.
