Repository Details

Showcase new features after an app update similar to Pages, Numbers and Keynote.

WhatsNew

CircleCI Version License Platform

Description

WhatsNew automatically displays a short description of the new features when users update your app. This is similar to what happens in Apple's apps like Pages, Numbers, Keynote, iMovie and TestFlight.

Simply list your new features (with optional icons), customize the appeareance and when to show it (only on major updates for example).

Usage

Run the example project from the Example directory and check out ViewController.swift.

import WhatsNew

let whatsNew = WhatsNewViewController(items: [
	WhatsNewItem.image(title: "Nice Icons", subtitle: "Completely customize colors, texts and icons.", image: #imageLiteral(resourceName: "love")),
	WhatsNewItem.image(title: "Such Easy", subtitle: "Setting this up only takes 2 lines of code, impressive you say?", image: #imageLiteral(resourceName: "threed")),
	WhatsNewItem.image(title: "Very Sleep", subtitle: "It helps you get more sleep by writing less code.", image: #imageLiteral(resourceName: "night")),
	WhatsNewItem.text(title: "Text Only", subtitle: "No icons? Just go with plain text."),
])
whatsNew.presentIfNeeded(on: self)

Some of the apps using WhatsNew in production are:

If you're using WhatsNew in your app, please let me know and I will make sure to add it to the list of apps that use this library!

Customizations

There are a bunch of customizable properties with corresponding documentation.

public static func markCurrentVersionAsPresented()

/// Defines when to present the What's New view controller. Check the `PresentationOption` enum for more details.
public var presentationOption: PresentationOption = .always

/// Closure invoked when the user dismisses the view controller.
public var onDismissal: (() -> Void)?

/// Text of the top title.
public var titleText: String = "Whatโ€™s New"
