TipKit is a framework introduced by Apple to help developers easily integrate tips into their apps. It is designed to teach users about new features or provide shortcuts for tasks within the app. TipKit manages the display states and history of tips to ensure they are shown at the right moments and to the appropriate audience. It offers features like eligibility rules, display frequency, and various presentation styles to fit the app's UI. Additionally, TipKit supports syncing with CloudKit, allowing tip statuses, rules, parameters, and events to be shared across devices. This ensures that tips are not unnecessarily redisplayed on multiple devices. Developers can also customize feature discovery by grouping tips, making them reusable with custom identifiers, and matching them to the app's look and feel with custom tip view styles.
