"Twitter music" and "Yahoo! Weather" like pull-to-refresh control created using GIF.

Completely created using UIKit framework.

Requirements

CHGifRefreshControl requires Xcode 5, targeting either iOS 5.0 and above, ARC-enabled.

How to use

Drag UIScrollView+GifPullToRefresh.h amd UIScrollView+GifPullToRefresh.m files to your project.

No other frameworks required.

#import "UIScrollView+GifPullToRefresh.h"

UIScrollView *scrollView = [[UIScrollView alloc] initWithFrame:self.view.bounds];
    
NSMutableArray *TwitterMusicDrawingImgs = [NSMutableArray array];
NSMutableArray *TwitterMusicLoadingImgs = [NSMutableArray array];
for (NSUInteger i  = 0; i <= 73; i++) {
    NSString *fileName = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"PullToRefresh_%03d.png",i];
    [TwitterMusicDrawingImgs addObject:[UIImage imageNamed:fileName]];
}

for (NSUInteger i  = 73; i <= 140; i++) {
    NSString *fileName = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"PullToRefresh_%03d.png",i];
    [TwitterMusicLoadingImgs addObject:[UIImage imageNamed:fileName]];
}
__weak UIScrollView *tempScrollView = scrollView;
[scrollView addPullToRefreshWithDrawingImgs:TwitterMusicDrawingImgs andLoadingImgs:TwitterMusicLoadingImgs andActionHandler:^{
	//Do your own work when refreshing, and don't forget to end the animation after work finished.
    [tempScrollView performSelector:@selector(didFinishPullToRefresh) withObject:nil afterDelay:3];

}];

And do not forget to remove it in your viewController's dealloc method:

[scrollView removePullToRefresh];

Tips

convert -coalesce animation.gif animation.png

Known issues

CHGifRefreshControl assumes the scrollView's contentInset is UIEdgeInsetsMake(64.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f) in iOS 7 and UIEdgeInsetsMake(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f) in iOS 6. If this doesn't work for your project, you can modify the originalContentInsectY property in CHGifRefreshControl class. And I will make this step automatically later.
