使用Swift 3

extension UIImageView{   
 var imageWithFade:UIImage?{
        get{
            return self.image
        }
        set{
            UIView.transition(with: self,
                              duration: 0.5, options: .transitionCrossDissolve, animations: {
                                self.image = newValue
            }, completion: nil)
        }
    }
}

用法:

myImageView.imageWithFade = myImage

在iOS 5中，这就简单多了:

[newView setAlpha:0.0];
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.4 animations:^{
    [newView setAlpha:0.5];
}];

使用Swift 3

extension UIImageView{   
 var imageWithFade:UIImage?{
        get{
            return self.image
        }
        set{
            UIView.transition(with: self,
                              duration: 0.5, options: .transitionCrossDissolve, animations: {
                                self.image = newValue
            }, completion: nil)
        }
    }
}

用法:

myImageView.imageWithFade = myImage

我不确定你是否可以用渐隐效果动画UIViews，因为似乎所有支持的视图转换都在UIViewAnimationTransition枚举中定义。渐变效果可以使用CoreAnimation实现。该方法的示例示例:

#import <QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h>
...
imageView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:(i % 2) ? @"3.jpg" : @"4.jpg"];

CATransition *transition = [CATransition animation];
transition.duration = 1.0f;
transition.timingFunction = [CAMediaTimingFunction functionWithName:kCAMediaTimingFunctionEaseInEaseOut];
transition.type = kCATransitionFade;

[imageView.layer addAnimation:transition forKey:nil];

代码:

var fadeAnim:CABasicAnimation = CABasicAnimation(keyPath: "contents");

fadeAnim.fromValue = firstImage;
fadeAnim.toValue   = secondImage;
fadeAnim.duration  = 0.8;         //smoothest value

imageView.layer.addAnimation(fadeAnim, forKey: "contents");

imageView.image = secondImage;

例子:

有趣，更详细的解决方案:(切换水龙头)

    let fadeAnim:CABasicAnimation = CABasicAnimation(keyPath: "contents");

    switch imageView.image {
        case firstImage?:
            fadeAnim.fromValue = firstImage;
            fadeAnim.toValue   = secondImage;
            imageView.image    = secondImage;
        default:
            fadeAnim.fromValue = secondImage;
            fadeAnim.toValue   = firstImage;
            imageView.image    = firstImage;
    }

    fadeAnim.duration = 0.8;

    imageView.layer.addAnimation(fadeAnim, forKey: "contents");

CABasicAnimation* fadeAnim = [CABasicAnimation animationWithKeyPath:@"contents"];
fadeAnim.fromValue = (__bridge id)imageView.image.CGImage;
fadeAnim.toValue = (__bridge id)[UIImage imageNamed:@"newImage.png"].CGImage;
fadeAnim.duration = 2.0;
[imageView.layer addAnimation:fadeAnim forKey:@"contents"];
imageView.layer.contents = (__bridge id)[UIImage imageNamed:@"newImage.png"].CGImage;
