Continuous rotation is not centered

Using this code:

    UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.5, delay: 0, options: [.repeat], animations: {
        self.star.transform = self.star.transform.rotated(by: CGFloat(M_PI_2))
    })

My view is doing this: enter image description here

Using this code:

extension UIView {
    func rotate360Degrees(duration: CFTimeInterval = 3) {
        let rotateAnimation = CABasicAnimation(keyPath: "transform.rotation")
        rotateAnimation.fromValue = 0.0
        rotateAnimation.toValue = CGFloat(M_PI * 2)
        rotateAnimation.isRemovedOnCompletion = false
        rotateAnimation.duration = duration
        rotateAnimation.repeatCount=Float.infinity
        self.layer.add(rotateAnimation, forKey: nil)
    }
}

My view is doing this: enter image description here

Well both are not doing what I want. The view that is rotating is an UIImageView with scale to fill. I want the image to stay exactly in the middle. How can I accomplish that? The functions are executed in viewDidAppear. The last gif looks way better, but notice the star is not perfectly centered... This is the image.

Problem

The center of your image is not the center of your star.

Solutions

There are two possible solutions

  • Edit the image so that center of the star is at the center of the image.
  • Set the anchor of the rotating layer to the center of the star (x: 1004px, y: 761px).
