Hey @zivato, I can't reproduce the issue. Is this happening as well with the example project? Are you able to provide a project showcasing the problem?

Having same issue!

Have the same issue. It seems to be related to displaying the coachMarksController in the window over the current view controller (self.coachMarksController.start(in: window, over: self)) when using the new SceneDelegate setup in iOS13. I haven't figured out why it doesn't work, but I suspect the way iOS13 handles UIWindows breaks something in the framework.

I worked around the problem by using self.coachMarksController.start(in: .currentWindow(of: self)) instead.

That must be it, thanks a lot for the pointer @gmcheese. I didn't think of this, I'll investigate!

I'm not certain slide-over is properly supported — I'll test this later, but it should fix the issue for all the other cases on iPad (and of course, on iPhone). Thanks again @gmcheese!
