iphone view animation problem

Question

I'm using following code to animate a view. It basically rotates the view by 225 degrees angle.

    [viewToOpen.layer removeAllAnimations];
viewToOpen.hidden = NO;
viewToOpen.userInteractionEnabled = NO;

if (viewToOpen.layer.anchorPoint.x != 0.0f) {
    viewToOpen.layer.anchorPoint = CGPointMake(0.0f, 0.5f);
    viewToOpen.center = CGPointMake(viewToOpen.center.x - viewToOpen.bounds.size.width/2.0f, viewToOpen.center.y);
}

CABasicAnimation *transformAnimation = [CABasicAnimation animationWithKeyPath:@"transform"];
transformAnimation.removedOnCompletion = NO;
transformAnimation.duration = duration;
transformAnimation.timingFunction = [CAMediaTimingFunction functionWithName:kCAMediaTimingFunctionEaseInEaseOut];
CATransform3D endTransform = CATransform3DMakeAffineTransform(CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(225));

transformAnimation.toValue = [NSValue valueWithCATransform3D:endTransform];
CAAnimationGroup *theGroup = [CAAnimationGroup animation];

theGroup.delegate = self;
theGroup.duration = duration;
[theGroup setValue:[NSNumber numberWithInt:viewToOpen.tag] forKey:@"viewToOpenTag"];
theGroup.animations = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:transformAnimation, nil];
theGroup.removedOnCompletion = NO;
[viewToOpen.layer addAnimation:theGroup forKey:@"flipViewOpen"];

But the problem is that, at the end of animation, the view is coming back to original position. I would like to keep the view in same position even after animation completes. How can I do it?

I believe you're experiencing the same issue as can be seen in this question and this one. You either need to set fillMode to kCAFillModeForwards or set the transform of the layer when the animation has been completed.
