WWDC 2023 had a lot of cool announcements, but there’s one I’m sure no one expected: the release of a new iOS framework called TipKit!

So what is TipKit all about?

The goal of TipKit is to make it as easy as possible for developers to display short contextual information that highlights or explains a feature of their app.

Since the end of 2021 I’ve been teaching private SwiftUI training sessions for a few French companies.

Their feedback was pretty positive, so last spring I decided to record this training course through a series of free livestreams on YouTube.

(and if you’re wondering about the price, it’s available entirely for free!)

I’m sure you already know about retain cycles and how they can be broken by capturing a weak reference to an instance.

You might have also heard that, instead of a weak reference, you can also capture an unowned reference.

And you might have even heard that unowned reference are a bit more optimized, but also a bit more risky.

Last June, a French company hired me for a private training session focused on SwiftUI and Combine.

This lead me to prepare some training material on Combine and I figured why not make it available to everyone?
