I have run into this exact same problem, and I agree with the earlier answer. It seems you must have a container view for animating a transition from one subview to another subview.

I'm using the transitionFromView approach. To have a background behind the animation, you will also need a superview with the background for the container view.

My code looks like:

    [UIView transitionFromView:view1
                        toView:view2
                      duration:0.5
                       options:UIViewAnimationOptionTransitionFlipFromRight |
                               UIViewAnimationOptionAllowUserInteraction    |
                               UIViewAnimationOptionBeginFromCurrentState
                    completion:nil];
