In 2024, TipKit introduced several new features to enhance feature discovery in apps:

  1. Tip Groups: You can now group tips together to ensure features are discovered in the ideal order. This allows for a more structured presentation of tips, ensuring that users see them in a sequence that makes sense.

  2. Reusable Tips with Custom Identifiers: TipKit allows for the creation of reusable tip models using custom identifiers. This means you can redisplay tips based on their content, making it easier to manage tips across different contexts.

  3. Custom Tip Styles: You can customize the appearance and interaction of tips to match your app's UI using Tip view styles. This ensures that tips feel integrated and seamless within your app.

  4. CloudKit Syncing: TipKit now supports syncing with CloudKit, allowing tip statuses, rules, parameters, and events to be shared across devices. This prevents tips from being redisplayed unnecessarily on different devices and ensures a consistent user experience.

  5. Reset Datastore Function: A new function to clear the local datastore and CloudKit records for all tips, useful for testing and ensuring tips are displayed correctly across devices.
