Swift 5. For older Swift versions please check previous releases.

imageView.image = PPSwiftGifs.animatedImageWithGIF(named: "gif_name")

(File named "gif_name.gif" should be present in your project and copied as a bundle resource. Currently you can't add GIFs to asset catalogs.)

Alternatively, you can construct animated image from data:

imageView.image = PPSwiftGifs.animatedImageWithGIF(data: data)

PPSwiftGifs is written by Peter Prokop but borrows heavily from uiimage-from-animated-gif project by Rob Mayoff.
