Awesome BUT...

I added the SAConfettiView.swift to my project manually but when i run it the screen freezes on me.. i have it setup in a segmented control so i only want the animation to show up in one of the 3 tabs in my segmented control. any idea?

Do you call .startConfetti() in viewDidLoad() or in viewDidAppear()?

I ran into an issue with a manual install as well. I'm getting an error:

fatal error: unexpectedly found nil while unwrapping an Optional value
on this line of SAConfettiView.swift
let bundle = NSBundle(path: path!)
I'm setting up and running confettiView in viewDidLoad()

I figured out how to get around my issue. I had to manually copy the .png image files for confetti, triangle and diamond from the example project into my image folder, then comment out some of the code in the imageForType function and replace it with a way to look up the selected image from the image assets folder:

func imageForType(type: ConfettiType) -> UIImage? {

        var fileName: String!

        switch type {
        case .Confetti:
            fileName = "confetti"
        case .Triangle:
            fileName = "triangle"
        case .Star:
            fileName = "star"
        case .Diamond:
            fileName = "diamond"
        case let .Image(customImage):
            return customImage
        }

        /* Commenting out code for looking up image assets when installed with cocapods
        let path = NSBundle(forClass: SAConfettiView.self).pathForResource("SAConfettiView", ofType: "bundle")
        let bundle = NSBundle(path: path!)
        let imagePath = bundle?.pathForResource(fileName, ofType: "png")
        let url = NSURL(fileURLWithPath: imagePath!)
        let data = NSData(contentsOfURL: url)
        if let data = data {
            return UIImage(data: data)!
        }
        return nil
        */

        // Return the selected image from images folder
        return UIImage(named: fileName)

    }
