TipKit was just released in Xcode 15 beta 5 but unfortunately the app I am working on has a majority Objective C and UIKit codebase. Apple has only provided code snippets with Swift and SwiftUI (so far that I have seen). Does anyone know how to implement TipKit with Objective C and UIKit? I have seen articles such as https://tarikdahic.com/posts/display-swiftui-views-from-objective-c-codebase/ that describe how to launch a SwiftUI view from Objective C. From the TipKit documentation, I did a brief dive and saw TipUIPopoverViewController, which is a UIViewController and can be loaded with UIKit. I have not tested it, but that could be a solution.
As far as configuring the Tips, which you must do in the main class that launches the app, I don't know how to configure them in Objective C. My class looks like:
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
@autoreleasepool {
NSString *logPath = [NSHomeDirectory() stringByAppendingPathComponent: @"removed for privacy"];
freopen([logPath fileSystemRepresentation], "a", stderr);
int retVal = UIApplicationMain(argc, argv, nil, nil);
return retVal;
}
}
In Swift, you can configure the Tips like so:
var body: some Scene {
WindowGroup {
ContentView()
.task {
try? await Tips.configure()
}
}
}
What is the Objective C version of the above code? I am not an adept Objective C coder, I have very little experience.
