Question 1

How do I add a dimmed background with a hole in AMPopTip?

Accepted Answer

Enable shouldShowMask and shouldCutoutMask, then provide a cutoutPathGenerator closure to define the cutout shape around the target view. This creates a focused highlight effect with a dimmed overlay.

Question 2

AMPopTip vs PopoverView: which is better for iOS tooltips?

Accepted Answer

AMPopTip offers more animations and customization options, like background masks and SwiftUI support, while PopoverView might be simpler for basic popovers. Choose AMPopTip if you need advanced interactivity and visual effects.

Question 3

How to make AMPopTip dismiss on swipe outside?

Accepted Answer

Set shouldDismissOnSwipeOutside to true and configure swipeRemoveGestureDirection with UISwipeGestureRecognizer.Direction values. This allows users to swipe away the popover for intuitive dismissal.

Question 4

Can I use AMPopTip in a SwiftUI-only app without UIKit?

Accepted Answer

Not directly; it requires embedding in a UIHostingController and providing a parent UIViewController, so it's not purely SwiftUI-native. You'll need to bridge to UIKit for presentation.

Question 5

How to update the text of an AMPopTip while it's showing?

Accepted Answer

Use the update(text:) or update(attributedText:) methods on the PopTip instance. This allows dynamic content changes without hiding and re-showing the popover.

Question 6

What animations are built into AMPopTip?

Accepted Answer

Includes entrance animations like scale and transition, and action animations such as bounce, float, and pulse. All are customizable with parameters or custom blocks for unique effects.
