Is there a way to pause a CABasicAnimation?

by

Recently appeared Apple’s technical note QA1673 describes how to pause/resume layer’s animation.

Pause and resume animations listing is below:

-(void)pauseLayer:(CALayer*)layer
{
    CFTimeInterval pausedTime = [layer convertTime:CACurrentMediaTime() fromLayer:nil];
    layer.speed = 0.0;
    layer.timeOffset = pausedTime;
}

-(void)resumeLayer:(CALayer*)layer
{
    CFTimeInterval pausedTime = [layer timeOffset];
    layer.speed = 1.0;
    layer.timeOffset = 0.0;
    layer.beginTime = 0.0;
    CFTimeInterval timeSincePause = [layer convertTime:CACurrentMediaTime() fromLayer:nil] - pausedTime;
    layer.beginTime = timeSincePause;
}

Edit:
iOS 10 introduced new API – UIViewPropertyAnimator that allows to handle animations more interactively, for example it makes easy to pause and resume animation or ‘seek’ it to some particular progress value.
