Tipkit

TipKit is a framework introduced by Apple to help developers create and manage tips within their apps. It allows for the display of tips to users at the right moments, ensuring that they learn about new features or more efficient ways to use the app. Here are some key features and functionalities of TipKit:

1. Tip Groups: Tip groups allow you to specify multiple tips and present them one at a time, either in a specific order or using the first tip eligible for display. This ensures that features are discovered in the ideal order. Customize feature discovery with TipKit (00:01:18)

2. Reusable Tips with Custom Identifiers: Custom identifiers provide an easy way to make reusable tip models, so tips can be redisplayed based on their content. This allows for tips to be reused across different contexts or devices. Customize feature discovery with TipKit (00:05:12)

4. Sync Tips with CloudKit: CloudKit can be used to sync TipKit's datastore across devices, ensuring that tips do not get redisplayed unnecessarily. This improves the user experience by syncing the display states for tips across multiple devices. Customize feature discovery with TipKit (00:10:48)
