Disable font animation in UIButton

Question

I am animating a view that is sliding down. In the view there is a simple UIButton. The view and the button have fixed widths and heights (I checked with adding a color as background). Although when use:

[UIView animateWithDuration:0.3 delay:0 options:UIViewAnimationOptionCurveEaseInOut animations:^{
        //Slide Down the notification
        CGRect notificationsRect = self.notificationContainerView.bounds;
        notificationsRect.origin.y = 0;
        notificationViewController.view.frame = notificationsRect;
    } completion:^(BOOL finished) {
        [notificationViewController didMoveToParentViewController:self];
        self.currentNotification = notificationViewController; 
}];

then the view slides down perfectly, expect for that the text in the UIButton kind of fades in. It starts really small and animates to the correct font size.

How can I disable the animation of the text in the UIButton?

I don't understand about "It starts really small and animates to the correct font size.". "animates to the correct font size"? — tuledev, Aug 19 '15 at 01:38
The font size starts at lets say 4pt and then animates to font size 14pt. The button size however does not change.. — Ruud Visser, Aug 19 '15 at 18:14
The button is just a UIButton as a subview of the notificationContainerView. I did nothing with it. — Ruud Visser, Aug 21 '15 at 18:34
As a workaround, subclass the button, and wrap the `layoutSubviews` method with `[UIView performWithoutAnimations: ^ {`. Let me know if this helps. — Léo Natan, Aug 21 '15 at 21:26
I assume you are setting text somewhere around animation blocks? — art-divin, Aug 24 '15 at 21:52
I am setting the titles in the viewDidLoad, so I guess that does not matter. — Ruud Visser, Aug 24 '15 at 22:10
@LeoNatan that works, thanks! However I do not think this is not the correct way to do it, but for now it works — Ruud Visser, Aug 24 '15 at 23:14
@RuudVisser Where do you load the view? Inside `viewDidLoad`? I may have a solution for you. — Léo Natan, Aug 25 '15 at 17:27
The views are loaded in a Nib. The titles are set in the `viewDidLoad`. — Ruud Visser, Aug 25 '15 at 17:35

Is the effect you have something similar to what is below? I tried to imitate your situation by having a view with a UIButton inside with some some text set for the title of the button. I then animated the button similarly to the way you did. As you can see there isn't really a fade happening on the text of my button inside my view that is sliding so I wonder if there is something else at play for you. I have the code I used below also to mock the situation.

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
    self.myView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(200, 0, 100, 100)];
    self.myView.backgroundColor = [UIColor greenColor];
    UIButton *myButton= [[UIButton alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 0, 80, 80)];
    myButton.backgroundColor = [UIColor blueColor];
    [myButton setTitle:@"fun times" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
    [self.myView addSubview:myButton];
    [self.view addSubview:self.myView];

    UIButton *resetButton = [[UIButton alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(300, 300, 50, 50)];
    resetButton.backgroundColor = [UIColor blackColor];
    [resetButton addTarget:self action:@selector(reset) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];

    UIButton *goButton = [[UIButton alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(300, 100, 50, 50)];
    goButton.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];
    [goButton addTarget:self action:@selector(go) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];

    [self.view addSubview:goButton];
    [self.view addSubview:resetButton];
}

- (void)reset {
    [UIView animateWithDuration:0.3 delay:0 options:UIViewAnimationOptionCurveEaseInOut animations:^{
        //Slide Up the notification
        CGRect notificationsRect = self.myView.bounds;
        notificationsRect.origin.y = 0;
        notificationsRect.origin.x = 200;
        self.myView.frame = notificationsRect;
    } completion:nil];
}

- (void)go {
    [UIView animateWithDuration:0.3 delay:0 options:UIViewAnimationOptionCurveEaseInOut animations:^{
        //Slide Down the notification
        CGRect notificationsRect = self.myView.bounds;
        notificationsRect.origin.y = 200;
        notificationsRect.origin.x = 200;
        self.myView.frame = notificationsRect;
    } completion:nil];
}
