Hello!
I've tested/implemented TipKit in SwiftUI and UIKit but it seems that the close, i.e. X, button doesn't work in UIKit but does in SwiftUI. Not sure if this is a bug or I have to do something different about it in UIKit.
Testing with Xcode 15 Beta 8
Thanks!
The tipView does not close itself when close button clicked but tells the tip by changing the value of 'shouldDisplayUpdates' property. You can observe this property to add or remove a tip.
For TipUIView, you do not need to directly add the subview after viewDidLoad, just insert the following code after viewDidLoad to observe the tip status.
private var tipObservationTask: Task<Void, Never>?
tipObservationTask = tipObservationTask ?? Task { @MainActor in
for await shouldDisplay in catTracksFeatureTip.shouldDisplayUpdates {
if shouldDisplay {
// tells that a tip should display
// add your TipUIView instance and add layout constraints
} else {
// tells that a tip should dismiss, e.g. the user clicked closed
// remove your TipUIView instance
}
}
}
For TipUIPopoverViewController, try the same way by presenting and dismissing the TipUIPopoverViewController instance.

@kaisfromypsilanti Yep, this is the correct answer. Check out the sample code in the link mentioned above.
I am also having issues with this. My code pretty much looks like OP's code, except I don't have any options in my tip. I tried Haimian's answer and looked also at the provided documentation link, but not my tip just never shows up because shouldDisplay is always false.
any ideas?
Same issue.
When using TipKit with UIKit code, you have to manually remove the tip from the parent UIView. For instance, if you're using the inline tip style, you may have a line of code that does view.addSubview to add the TipUIView to the parent view. You need a corresponding removeFromSuperview, which removes the tip. If you share your code for presenting the tip, I might be able to pinpoint what's missing.
hello! thank you for your reply!
the implementation is very simple,
this is my tip object
struct FavoriteCarTip: Tip {
var title: Text {
Text("Favorite This Car")
}
var message: Text? {
Text("Favorite this car to receive status updates and more!")
}
var image: Image? {
Image(systemName: "heart.fill")
}
var options: [TipOption] {
[Tip.MaxDisplayCount(1)]
}
}
and this is how I'm presenting it
let tip = FavoriteCarTip()
let controller = TipUIPopoverViewController(tip, sourceItem: sourceView)
self.present(controller, animated: true)
basically now the only way to remove the tip is by tapping outside of it, and while its not ideal it still works. I was wondering if there are any delegate calls or other ways to wire that close button? Thank you!

I am having the same issue.
I am using UIKit and presenting it using TipUIPopoverViewController. My close button doesn't work either.
Please see @haimian520 's response below for the solution.
