Is there an equivalent of Androids ShowcaseView for iOS?

There is a project for Android on Github:

According to the readme:

The ShowcaseView library is designed to highlight and showcase specific parts of apps to the user with a distinctive and attractive overlay. This library is great for pointing out points of interest for users, gestures, or obscure but useful items.

I would like to know if a functionally equivalent one exists for iOS. It would be useful to give users a quick tour of an app. Typically app intros are handled with a few swipe screens. Think Uber and Duolingo.

Google and Stackoverflow searching returns nothing meaningful. If I had time I'd work on this as a side project.

Edit: I've ended up using which works for both Swift and Objective-C.

You can check a small library (MaterialShowcase on Github) that I created when developing my company app.

There's a framework we've been working on that might be useful, BubbleShowCase. Check it out and don't hesitate to leave any feedback.
