TipUIPopoverViewController's imageSize doesn't work
Per the apple API documentation (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/tipkit/tipuipopoverviewcontroller/imagesize), imageSize is meant to control the size of the image within the tip, but it doesn't seem to be working. My code is as follows, taken from the apple docs example: tipObservationTask = tipObservationTask ?? Task { @MainActor [weak controller] in for await shouldDisplay in tip.shouldDisplayUpdates { if shouldDisplay { let popoverController = TipUIPopoverViewController(tip, sourceItem: sourceItem) popoverController.imageSize = CGSize(width: 10, height: 10) controller?.present(popoverController, animated: true) tipPopoverController = popoverController } else { if controller?.presentedViewController is TipUIPopoverViewController { controller?.dismiss(animated: true) tipPopoverController = nil } } } }

When the TipKit notification appears, the 'present sheet' button will be non-functional. (iPhoneSE Landscape Right)
import SwiftUI import TipKit @main struct TipKit_WithPresentPageApp: App { var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { ContentView() .task { try? Tips.resetDatastore() try? Tips.configure([ .datastoreLocation(.applicationDefault) ]) } } } } import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { @State private var isPresented: Bool = false var body: some View { NavigationStack { VStack { Image(systemName: "globe") .imageScale(.large) .foregroundStyle(.tint) .popoverTip(MyTip()) .padding(100) Button("Hit Me!") { isPresented.toggle() // When the TipKit notification appears, the 'present sheet' button will be non-functional. (iPhone SE and simulator devices) } .padding() .sheet(isPresented: $isPresented) { PresentPage() } } } } } import SwiftUI struct PresentPage: View { var body: some View { Text("Hello, world again!") .font(.title) } } import TipKit struct MyTip: Tip { var title: Text { Text("Test") } var message: Text? { Text("Hi") } } When the TipKit notification appears, the 'present sheet' button will be non-functional. (iPhoneSE Landscape Right) When using the iPhone SE (Landscape Right) or its simulator (iPhone SE Landscape Right), running iOS 17.2. Whenever the TipKit notification is triggered and displayed on the screen, the 'present sheet' button, which is typically used for presenting a new sheet within the app, becomes non-functional. Device: iPhoneSE iOS 17.2 Does anyone know how to bypass this bug? Thank you.

TipKit: Change color of TipView close button?
Greetings, I'm dipping a toe into TipKit and trying it out. I placed a TipView into one of my SwiftUI views, and the default styling didn't fit well within our app, so I changed the background and text colors. However, I can't find a way to change the color of the close button ("X"). Unfortunately, the default color is very hard to see against the background color that I selected. Is it possible to set the color of that close button? For the time being, I have created a TipViewStyle that replicates the default styling with my color changes applied, but this seems unnecessarily complex for something as simple as setting the color of that button. Thanks!

TipKit: "The filter function is not supported in this rule."
Greetings, Working on adding some simple rules to my first TipKit tips. I'm following the example from the WWDC TipKit talk, which included a rule intended to ensure that the user had accessed a particular feature at least three times in the past five days. So it had code that looked like this: #Rule(Self.enteredBackyardDetailView) { $0.donations .filter { $0.date > Date.now.addingTimeInterval(-5 * 60 * 60 * 24) } .count >= 3 I'm trying to do something similar -- essentially, I want to know if the user has been using this feature for at least a day. So I tried this: #Rule(Self.viewedDetails) { $0.donations .filter { $0.date < Date.now.addingTimeInterval(-1 * 60 * 60 * 24) } .count > 0 } i.e., Is there at least one event that was donated more than a day ago? However, Xcode flags the .filter line with the message "The filter function is not supported in this rule." Huh? This smells to me a lot like the limitations that SwiftData has with not being able to do certain kinds of operations in predicates. But this was clearly intended to be supported in the design, since the exact example was shown in the WWDC session on TipKit. So, am I missing something? Is there a different way to structure this so that I can use .filter, or is there some other way of expressing the condition without using filter? I did try using .first { same expression } != nil, but Xcode then said that rules must include a count comparison... Thanks!

Appkit :: TIPKIT :: TipNSPopover :: Tippopover view is not closing when we clicked on the cross icon in MAC OS application.
By Implementing the TipKit framework in the AppKit Mac OS application, we were unable to close the popover when we clicked on the cross icon presented in TipNSPopover view. And any clues about how to implement the TipNSPopover on Handover of NScollectionview ?. When the mouse enters any of the collection view cells, I have to present the TipNSpopover view. Please share your input and thoughts.

TipKit: Are tips marked "IgnoresDisplayFrequency" also ignored by display frequency?
Greetings, I have set up two tips in my app, and my app is configured with Tips.configure([.displayFrequency(.daily)]. Tip 1 is set up with no options. Tip 2 has the IgnoresDisplayFrequency(true) option set: var options: [Option] { MaxDisplayCount(3) // We want the user to see these because it's important. IgnoresDisplayFrequency(true) } This option works as expected, as far as I can tell, in terms of making sure that Tip 2 is shown even if I've already seen Tip 1 today. If I interact with my app such that Tip 1 is displayed, and I then interact with it such that Tip 2 should be displayed, Tip 2 shows immediately, even though a day hasn't passed. However, if I do this the other way around, so that Tip 2 is displayed first, and then I interact so that Tip 1 should be displayed, my expectation would be that Tip 1 is not displayed, because another tip has already been shown today. I expected that it would not be shown until the following day, since it is not configured to ignore the tip frequency. That's not what happens, though. Tip 1 is displayed right away, even though Tip 2 has just been shown. This makes me think that setting IgnoresDisplayFrequency on Tip 2 is causing it to also be ignored when considering whether other tips should be shown. I did try omitting IgnoresDisplayFrequency option, and then as expected, only one tip is shown on a day, no matter which one is shown first.

TipKit vs. Swift 6 + Concurrency
I'm trying to convert my project to use Swift 6 with Complete Concurrency in Xcode 16 beta 1. The project uses TipKit, but I'm getting compile errors when trying to use the TipKit Parameters feature. Here is an example of the type of error I'm seeing (Note that this code from https://developer.apple.com/documentation/tipkit/highlightingappfeatureswithtipkit): struct ParameterRuleTip: Tip { // Define the app state you want to track. @Parameter static var isLoggedIn: Bool = false Static property '$isLoggedIn' is not concurrency-safe because it is non-isolated global shared mutable state. Is there a new pattern for supporting TipKit Parameters in Swift 6 with Complete Concurrency enabled? There is no obvious suggestion for how to fix this. The latest WWDC 2024 TipKit doesn't appear to have any solution(s).

TipKit: Popover Tip w/ use of Menu in Toolbar
As the title states, I'm trying to apply a .popoverTip to a Menu { } which is inside of a .toolbar { }. The toolbar has default placement and the menu includes a toggle button, and a NavigationLink. I've ensured that tips can show on the view by using a TipView(tip: ) within my view which displays. Am I missing something? Is this not possible? Alternatively, can anyone recommend a method to potentially debug why a tip won't show for future debugging?

TipKit: explicit vs. implicit iCloud sync
With iOS 18, TipKit got explicit support for syncing tip state via iCloud. However, before that, TipKit already did iCloud syncing implicitly, as far as I know. How does the new explicit syncing relate to the previous mechanism? Do we have to enable iCloud syncing manually now to retain the functionality in iOS 18? Is there a way to sync with the state that was already stored by TipKit in iCloud on iOS 17?
