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).
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."),
])
