Hereafter, the underlined elements lead directly to the playback of the WWDC video at the appropriate moment.

Overview #

Introduced during the 2023 Platforms State of the Union session, the brand new TipKit framework is going to be of a great help for making users find out some new features of an app across all platforms.

Design #

Before defining a tip, it's important to know what should be highlighted and what's definitely to be prohibited.

Creation #

Relied on the TipsCenter that enables key TipKit functionality, the tip creation is based on a specific type that sets the content and the conditions for when it displays.

There are two types of tip views whose usage will depend on the purpose.

Rules #

The eligibility rules for specifying who should see the tip are twofold.

It's also possible to define a rule based on custom types to query for events based on a unique view identifier a person is currently in with some added constraints to filter the results.

Display #

Control the frequency of educational messaging in an app may be handled by TipsCenter or directly by the tip itself through a computed property for overriding frequency.

Dismissal #

TipKit provides built-in methods for tips to be dismissed through a performed action or a max number of appearances for instance.

Tests #

Overriding the created rules is a great way for testing thanks to some API calls that can also be used as launch arguments in some project's schemes for instance.
