Connect Two ScrollView’s Together with different Content Offset Values

To Scroll 2 different scrollView together, Many questions have been already answered regarding using the scrollViewDidScroll Method and passing the content offset of one scrollview to other.

But My Question here is a bit different, Let’s say I have 2 ScrollView A and B both with horizontal scrolling only.

When the view loads ScrollView A has contentOffSet say (x,y) and B scrollview’s content offset : (m,n).

As per my understanding content Offset is the new (x,y) value while scrolling.

Now I can’t pass the content Offset value of A to B here to scroll them together as they loads at different points due to content requirement.I need the exact x points displaced while scrolling in A, then may be pass it to B.

I have also tried getting the velocity from pangesture of A and passing it to B, which doesn’t work smoothly.

How can I achieve a smooth scrolling for both views ?

It's not entirely clear what you're trying to do. But if you want to be updated about when scroll view A changes it's contentOffset you can subclass UIScrollView and pass the data through a delegate or a closure.

class ScrollView: UIScrollView {
    var contentOffsetChanged: ((CGPoint)->())?

    override var contentOffset: CGPoint {
        didSet {
            if let contentOffsetChanged = contentOffsetChanged {
                contentOffsetChanged(contentOffset)
            }
        }
    }
}

Update

After reading the comment you left me and the one you wrote to iOS Geek, it seems contradictory. There are a few possibilities for how your math would work out so don't take my exact solution as the answer, but more of the design. I think this is the design you're interested in.

class Controller: UIViewController, UIScrollViewDelegate {
    let scrollView = UIScrollView()
    var scrollViewB: UIScrollView?
    var initialOffset: CGPoint = .zero

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        scrollView.delegate = self
    }

    func loadScrollViewB() {
        initialOffset = scrollView.contentOffset
        scrollViewB = UIScrollView()
    }

    func scrollViewDidScroll(_ scrollView: UIScrollView) {
        if scrollView == self.scrollView {
            var contentOffset: CGPoint = .zero
            contentOffset.x = initialOffset.x - scrollView.contentOffset.x
            scrollViewB?.contentOffset = contentOffset
        }
    }
}
