I fixed my own issue. It has to do with the timer. In short when using a timer to animate a layer I was using scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval versus timerWithTimeInterval. When I use timerWithTimeInterval I then set the Fire Date and add the timer to three modes: (NSRunLoopCommonModes, NSDefaultRunLoopMode, NSEventTrackingRunLoopMode). Now when I resize my view the timer doesn't stall and the animation continues.
This worked for me, and I can only assume that adding the timer to these other two modes was the solution: NSRunLoopCommonModes / NSEventTrackingRunLoopMode. If anybody can explain this further, I am all ears!
