Portal is a Swift package offering SwiftUI modules for element transitions across navigation contexts, scroll-based flowing headers, and true view mirroring via Apple's private _UIPortalView API. It targets iOS 17+ (with a legacy branch for iOS 15/16) and is distributed via Swift Package Manager under the MIT license.

Use cases

• animate a shared element between a list and a full-screen detail view in SwiftUI
• create hero transitions across sheets, navigation stacks, and tabs
• build scroll-based headers that flow into the navigation bar like Apple Music or Photos
• mirror a live view instance across two places in the view hierarchy
• add polished app-store-quality transitions to an iOS app

When to choose

• you are building an iOS app with SwiftUI and want shared-element or hero-style transitions
• you need Music/Photos-style collapsing scroll headers with minimal code
• you want a pure SwiftUI solution using standard APIs for transitions

When to avoid

• you need cross-platform (Android, web) transitions rather than iOS-only
• your app must avoid private APIs for App Store safety and you need true view mirroring
• you target iOS below 17 and cannot pin to the legacy branch
• you need transitions in UIKit rather than SwiftUI
