SwiftUI TipKit Integration: Smart Feature Discovery with Native Hints

This pattern creates contextual tips that intelligently dismiss themselves once users demonstrate they've learned the feature, preventing tip fatigue while ensuring discoverability.

import TipKit

struct FeatureTip: Tip {
    var title: Text {
        Text("Double-tap to favorite")
    }
    
    var message: Text? {
        Text("Quickly save items by double-tapping the heart icon")
    }
    
    var image: Image? {
        Image(systemName: "heart.fill")
    }
}

struct ContentView: View {
    @State private var favoriteCount = 0
    private let featureTip = FeatureTip()
    
    var body: some View {
        VStack {
            Button("❤️ Favorite") {
                favoriteCount += 1
                // Dismiss tip after user discovers the feature
                if favoriteCount >= 2 {
                    featureTip.invalidate(reason: .userPerformedAction)
                }
            }
            .popoverTip(featureTip)
        }
        .task {
            try? Tips.configure([.displayFrequency(.immediate)])
        }
    }
}

Why This is a Best Practice

Smart dismissal logic prevents tips from becoming annoying by tracking user engagement. TipKit's native integration provides consistent system-level styling and behavior that users expect, while automatic invalidation keeps the interface clean after users demonstrate feature adoption.

This pattern creates contextual tips that intelligently dismiss themselves once users demonstrate they've learned the feature, preventing tip fatigue while ensuring discoverability.

import TipKit

struct FeatureTip: Tip {
    var title: Text {
        Text("Double-tap to favorite")
    }
    
    var message: Text? {
        Text("Quickly save items by double-tapping the heart icon")
    }
    
    var image: Image? {
        Image(systemName: "heart.fill")
    }
}

struct ContentView: View {
    @State private var favoriteCount = 0
    private let featureTip = FeatureTip()
    
    var body: some View {
        VStack {
            Button("❤️ Favorite") {
                favoriteCount += 1
                // Dismiss tip after user discovers the feature
                if favoriteCount >= 2 {
                    featureTip.invalidate(reason: .userPerformedAction)
                }
            }
            .popoverTip(featureTip)
        }
        .task {
            try? Tips.configure([.displayFrequency(.immediate)])
        }
    }
}
