CATiled Layer Question~ - xcode

Was wondering how to apply the CATiled Layer to a webView rather than a scrollView. Went through a lot of books as well as searches and found absolutely nothing regarding how to successfully apply a CATiled Layer to a webView. The basic functionality is to make the website rendering smoother on a webView. I'd really appreciate if someone could provide their insight regarding this.
Thanks,

You cannot. UIWebView is essentially just a wrapper for webkit which uses it's own techniques for tiling. Apple does not want you to go messing with that.

Are there any visual differences between WKWebView and UIWebView?

I wanted to migrate away from the deprecated UIWebView in Xamarin Forms iOS, and I read online that WKWebView is now the default in Xamarin Forms 4.x, and I was currently in 3.6.0.x.
So I decided to update hoping that the Webview would automatically update for me, but I realized there is no way to tell because I don't know what, and if there even is a difference in how the webviews look. I've looked online but can't find any side by side pictures of the same app/interface using WK vs. UI. Is there a difference at all?
The only difference I saw after updating, was that on one of the pages, the loading icon wouldn't disappear whereas it did after a couple of seconds in UI.
Thanks!
Welcome to StackOverflow! :)
The easiest way to answer this question is simply going to be to test it. To my knowledge, both UIWebView and WKWebView use the exact same underlying WebKit code/engine to render HTML content. There may be differences due to separate defaults and properties that one has vs. the other, but for the most part, they should be identical. But you shouldn't take my word for it! If you can, give it a try.

Is it possible to apply animation for react-router-native?

I know that this question sounds like asking for suggestion which should not be here, But I am posting after searching a lot for my requirement.
I am using react-router-native for navigation which is great functionality wise. But comes to the animation part, it doesn't give the best user experience. Official Documentation doesn't seem like providing any animation information.
Even in the google I found some articles(A shallow dive into React Router v4 Animated Transitions, Animating Route Transitions with React Router) describing about animation for navigation but only for react.
Hence, Could anybody let me know that is there any way to apply animation for react-router-native?
The standard place to start is exploring basic Animations. That said - have a look at one of the more developed transition libraries out there e.g. react-native-transition.
If it's specifically for just routing then there is a great answer Here.
You might want to try this animation library for react-router-native:
react-router-native-stack
I think you need react-router-native-animate-stackreact-router-native-animate-stack
yarn add react-router-native-animate-stack
This is by default swipeable and you can customize the transition when move to next page.

UI rendering issues with Segmented Control

I'm working on a simple app to learn Cocoa and I've encountered a little rendering bug with the segmented controller.
As you can see here, the view does not display fully opaque. I've looked around to try and find a solution to this to no avail. I did at one point think that maybe this control wasn't supposed to be used in this way but a quick browse through the system preferences yielded several views using this technique.
The control you are looking for is actually NSTabView. Docs here:
NSTabView

Which GUI element does iCal use for calendar view?

I’m writing a simple iCal-like app in Cocoa that I’d like to resemble the main view of iCal.
Does anyone know which GUI element (i.e. NSWhatever) was used to create the Month-view (this thing: http://skitch.com/edwardog/b38ba/ical)?
Thanks!
PS – A hint at figuring this sort of thing out for myself would also be well appreciated; I’ve got a feeling that the answer lies somewhere in .nib, but after poking around I didn’t have much luck.
CalendarWindow.nib, "Window".
Looks like it's all custom views I'm afraid.
The main calendar view must be a custom subclass of NSView, with custom drawing in the overridden drawRect: method.
If you really feel like poking around in running applications, check out F-Script Anywhere.
I'm not claiming that iCal uses it, but you might try NSDatePicker, which supports a calendar style.

Gray NSTableView à la iTunes

How can I achieve the dark gray NSTableView look (used in iTunes, Delicious Library, etc.) in my own application?
I always thought this was an option in NSTableView (or NSTableHeaderView) but I never tried actually doing it.
After hours of searching, I'm pretty convinced that no such option exists, and that I need to do my own drawing.
Before going any further, I just want to make sure there isn't an (undocumented) API for this, and that I'm not missing something.
A good friend of mine created a whole control kit called BGHUDAppKit. It's for the new HUD stuff that Apple introduced a while ago. I believe his controls are themable, and they come with source. I personally haven't done anything with Cocoa, but he has and I know he could answer some questions. Unfortunately, he doesn't lurk here, so you'll have to contact him. I'll see if I can get him to come here. :)
Look at this page under iTableColumnHeader. Also there are many custom UI elements similar to Apple's
