# TipUIPopoverViewController

A view controller that displays a popover tip in UIKit applications.

## Declaration

```swift
@MainActor @objc @preconcurrency final class TipUIPopoverViewController
```

## Overview

Overview Use this view controller to present a tip you want to display using UIPopoverPresentationController. Presenting or dismissing TipUIPopoverViewController is done by listening to a tip’s shouldDisplayUpdates or statusUpdates. import TipKit import UIKit

struct CatTracksFeatureTip: Tip {     var title: Text {         Text("Sample tip title")     }

var message: Text? {         Text("Sample tip message")     }

var image: Image? {         Image(systemName: "globe")     } }

class CatTracksViewController: UIViewController {     @IBOutlet weak var catTracksFeatureButton: UIButton!

private var catTracksFeatureTip = CatTracksFeatureTip()     private var tipObservationTask: Task<Void, Never>?     private weak var tipPopoverController: TipUIPopoverViewController?

override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {         super.viewDidAppear(animated)

tipObservationTask = tipObservationTask ?? Task { @MainActor in             for await shouldDisplay in catTracksFeatureTip.shouldDisplayUpdates {                 if shouldDisplay {                     let popoverController = TipUIPopoverViewController(catTracksFeatureTip, sourceItem: catTracksFeatureButton)                     present(popoverController, animated: animated)                     tipPopoverController = popoverController                 }                 else {                     if presentedViewController is TipUIPopoverViewController {                         dismiss(animated: animated)                         tipPopoverController = nil                     }                 }             }         }     }

override func viewWillDisappear(_ animated: Bool) {         super.viewWillDisappear(animated)

tipObservationTask?.cancel()         tipObservationTask = nil     } }
