Now

I'm using animation.gif in Assets.xcassets with below.

if let asset = NSDataAsset(name: "animation.gif") {
    let data = asset.data
    let animationImage = imagesFromAnimationGif(data)
}

func imagesFromAnimationGif(_ data: Data) -> UIImage {
    // parse data
}

Hope

I want call animation.gif via R.swift like below.

let data = R.data.animation_gif
let animationImage = imagesFromAnimationGif(data)

In real programming, usage of Data Assets is immensely rare, and right now, for the first time in 5 years I would've had use of this feature, probably for the last time in my life :)
