After updating the Podfile, run the command pod install in Terminal to install the library and integrate it into your Xcode workspace.

Usage

To start using AA MaterialSpinner in your project, import it into your Swift file:

Once imported, you can create an instance of the spinner:

let spinner = AAMaterialSpinner(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 50, height: 50))

Customize the appearance of the spinner by modifying its properties, such as color:

spinner.spinnerColor = .red

Add the spinner to your view hierarchy:

view.addSubview(spinner)

To start animating the spinner, call the startAnimating() method:

spinner.startAnimating()

If you want to stop the animation, use the stopAnimating() method:

spinner.stopAnimating()

Customizations

The AA MaterialSpinner offers various customization options to suit your app’s design:

Size

You can adjust the size of the spinner by setting its frame property to the desired dimensions.
