Create a Tip

• Title and Message – with direct action labels as title, easy to remember instructions in the message
• Don’t use for promotional or error messages.
• Add the TipsCenter.shared. ?? in the init() of the @main for the app.
• Add icons and color match with the application.  You may wish to add an action button if there are settings.
• Set treatment and placement.
  • Pop-over – points to element or button to direct the user  (.popoverMiniTip)
  • Inline – adjust the apps UI so no UI is blocked.

Eligibility rules

• Don’t be spammy or irrelevant.  If the feature is already discovered don’t spam them.  If users are very infrequently using your app, you may not want to show tips either.
• Rules are
  • Parameter based rule – persistent based on State and Boolean
  • Event-Based rules – define an action that must have occurred before they are shown.
  • Donate the event
  • You can create custom events using associated types and use that for the rule

Display and dismissal 

• Don’t show it forever, don’t show multiple at once
• You can do a DisplayFequency (.daily, .hourly, custom duration) you can also do .immediate
• You can do .ignoresDisplayFrequence(true) for a specific tip 
• If the feature is used it should be dismissed… You can then call the invalidate function with user performed action
• You can also set a .maxDisplayCount to not annoy the user with the same tip over and over.
• Tips can be synced via iCloud, so you don’t want to show the same tip on different devices

Test tips

• You can work around eligibility rules.  Use TipsCenter.showAllTips() or .showTips with tip iD, or .hideTips to prevent, or .hideAllTips()
• .resetDatastore() can be used to clean it up 
• You can also use com.apple.TipKit.showAllTips in your launch arguments (or any of the other commands)
