## What it is
DawnTransition is a lightweight Swift framework for iOS that provides smooth, customizable view controller transition animations and native-like interactive swipe-back gestures. It resolves common gesture conflicts that occur with custom transitions and is designed for production use.

## Use cases
- add custom transition animations between view controllers in ios
- implement interactive swipe-back gesture with custom transitions
- fix gesture conflicts in custom ios transitions
- create hero-style shared element transitions on ios
- add pan gesture to dismiss a view controller
- make custom ios navigation transitions feel native

## When to choose
- you are building an iOS 13+ app in Swift with UIKit and want polished custom transitions
- you need interactive swipe-back gestures that work with custom animations
- you want a lightweight, MIT-licensed transition library installable via CocoaPods or SPM

## When to avoid
- you are building with SwiftUI only and do not use UIKit view controller transitions
- you target iOS versions below 13.0
- you need cross-platform (Android/web) transition support
