@HWSTS you can load from an URL.

LOTAnimationView *animation = [[LOTAnimationView alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:URL]];
[self.view addSubview:animation];

@HWSTS Here's my solution about Android:

I've also provided you a way to have a caching mechanism for this, using any solution you'd like, by having an optional listener.

Does anyone know how to load json files from firebase?

[AndroidDeveloperLB]

@SantiagoGaleano You can put very long json file on Firebase?

I have my animation .json in base of fire but I pass the url in the src of the lottie and it appears error

@SantiagoGaleano Sorry but it doesn't make sense. If the URL is to a file of json file, it should work as I wrote.
If it's not, you will have to do other things before, depending on what you did.

@AndroidDeveloperLB What I'm doing in ionic and on the way I'm passing the firebase route, you have facebook or some mail to be able to contact you thank you very much

@SantiagoGaleano Sorry but I lack the experience to understand what you mean
