How to scale and rotate during single animateWithDuration call
Just use the CGAffineTransformConcat method. Try:
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.4 delay:0.0 options:UIViewAnimationOptionCurveEaseInOut animations:^(void) { recognizer.view.transform = CGAffineTransformConcat(CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(DegreesToRadians(540)), CGAffineTransformMakeScale(1.0, 1.0)); recognizer.view.backgroundColor = [[UIColor alloc] initWithRed:220.0/255.0 green:220.0/255.0 blue:220.0/255.0 alpha:1.0]; }];Hope that Helps!
