A SKEmitterNode object is a node that automatically creates and renders small particle sprites. Particle sprites are privately owned by Sprite Kit—your game cannot access the generated sprites. For example, this means you cannot add physics shapes to particles. Emitter nodes are often used to create smoke, fire, sparks, and other particle effects. Available in iOS 7.0 and later.

SpriteKit: xScale makes SKEmitterNode invisible
I have a SKSpriteNode with a child which is a SKEmitterNode.
When the SKSpriteNode touches the right end of the screen I mirror the SKSpriteNode:
bird.xScale = -1
My problem is, that a negative scaling factor makes the SKEmitterNode invisible.

Sprite Kit Particle Emitter Shape
How can a particle emitter be set to produce shapes (solid shapes/Core Graphics?), instead of texture images (png)?
In the documentation Manipulating the Particle Emitter, it looks like only a texture image can be set.
