Expected Behavior

Getting the animation view with json file name

let animationView = LOTAnimationView(name: "preloader")
self.view.addSubview(animationView)
animationView.play()

Actual Behavior

When i'm trying to get animation like this
var loadingView = LOTAnimationView(name: "preloader")
I'm taking this error: +[LOTComposition animationNamed:inBundle:]: Animation Not Found

But getting the animation like below works fine
var loadingView = LOTAnimationView(filePath: "/Users/muraterdogan/Git/iOS/Swift/LottieTest/LottieTest/preloader.json")

Code Example

import UIKit
import Lottie

class ViewController: UIViewController {
    var loadingView = LOTAnimationView(name: "preloader")

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        loadingView.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 100, height: 100)
        loadingView.loopAnimation = true
        loadingView.contentMode = .scaleAspectFill
        loadingView.center = view.center
        view.addSubview(loadingView)
    }

    @IBAction func start(_ sender: Any) {
        loadingView.play()
    }
}

@muraterd
Try this,
In your XCode project, click on your preLoader.json file, then in the inspector (Right panel of Xcode ) click on the checkbox with the name of your projet in Target MemberShip

Thank you that solved my issue. I'm new to ios development and sorry for that silly question :) I learned a new thing from you :)

I also had this issue, but I had a problem with the name of my file - the file name can not contain dots, because of the following:

LOTComposition:
+ (nullable instancetype)animationNamed:(nonnull NSString *)animationName inBundle:(nonnull NSBundle *)bundle {
  NSArray *components = [animationName componentsSeparatedByString:@"."];
  animationName = components.firstObject;
