Xcode 9 asset catalog Preserves Vector Data not working?

Question

I thought the new Preserves Vector Data checkmark in the Xcode 9 asset catalog would finally give us resizing of vector PDF images, but apparently not. Here\'s my test image

Answer 1

In my case (Xcode 9.4.1), with imageView created in Interface Builder - I noticed that when I initially arrive on the screen, the image is blurry. If I then change device orientation, the image becomes crisp. I tried calling different methods manually in viewDidLoad() and here is what I found so far:

This worked:

let image = imageView.image
imageView.image = nil
imageView.image = image

None of these worked:

imageView.layoutSubviews()
imageView.layoutMarginsDidChange()
imageView.setNeedsLayout()
imageView.setNeedsDisplay()
imageView.reloadInputViews()
imageView.updateConstraints()
imageView.contentMode = .center ; imageView.contentMode = .scaleToFill

You should of course extend or subclass UIImageView if you'll be calling it often, like this for example

class UIImageViewWithPreserveVectorDataFix: UIImageView {
    override func awakeFromNib() {
        super.awakeFromNib()
        let image = self.image
        self.image = nil
        self.image = image
    }
}

(and then of course set UIImageViewWithPreserveVectorDataFix as the class in Interface Builder)
