UIView+Shimmer
May 27, 2014 ยท View on GitHub
UIView+Shimmer is a super-lightweight category that adds a shimmering effect to any UIView, without the need for wrappers, nor layout and touch-handling voodoo.

For example, to make any UILabel instance shimmer:
[label startShimmering];
And to make it stop:
[label stopShimmering];
Installation
Install via Cocoapods. Here's a sample Podfile:
pod 'UIView+Shimmer'
Alternatively, just drop the two files (UIView+Shimmer.m and UIView+Shimmer.h) into your project tree.
