How to animate the background color of a UILabel?

by

I can’t find it documented anywhere, but it appears the backgroundColor property of UILabel is not animatable, as your code works fine with a vanilla UIView. This hack appears to work, however, as long as you don’t set the background color of the label view itself:

#import <QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h>

...

theLabel.layer.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor].CGColor;

[UIView animateWithDuration:2.0 animations:^{
    theLabel.layer.backgroundColor = [UIColor greenColor].CGColor;
} completion:NULL];
