FAQPage Schema
How do I add contextual tips and feature discovery to my SwiftUI app?

You add contextual tips by generating TipKit infrastructure, which creates Swift files for individual tip definitions, event definitions, and configuration to guide users through new app features.

Does TipKit support both inline and popover tip presentations in iOS 17?

TipKit supports both inline and popover tip presentations for iOS 17+ and macOS 14+ deployment targets. The generated infrastructure handles the presentation logic to display contextual hints within your application's user interface.

How do I configure parameter-based and event-based rules for TipKit eligibility?

Configuring TipKit eligibility rules involves defining parameter-based and event-based conditions that determine when tips appear. The generated infrastructure automates creating these rule definitions to control tip display criteria based on user actions or app state.

What is the best way to test TipKit feature discovery without waiting for triggers?

Testing TipKit feature discovery uses generated testing utilities that reset the datastore and force show tips. This allows developers to verify inline and popover presentations immediately during development without waiting for specific user events.

Can I use TipKit to educate users about a new search bar or filter button?

TipKit can educate users about new interface elements like search bars or filter buttons by generating contextual tip definitions. The infrastructure creates the necessary Swift code to display hints when users encounter these specific app features.

What are the limitations of using TipKit for user education on older macOS versions?

TipKit user education limitations include requiring iOS 17+ and macOS 14+ deployment targets. Applications supporting older OS versions cannot use this generated infrastructure for feature discovery and must implement alternative user guidance mechanisms.
