Frequently Asked Questions about hig-components-dialogs

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
When should I use an alert versus a sheet in iOS according to Apple HIG?▼

Apple HIG recommends using alerts for critical, time-sensitive warnings requiring immediate attention, while sheets are for presenting a distinct task or content that requires user action before dismissal. This skill scopes these presentation patterns to maintain platform consistency.

How do I choose the right presentation pattern for macOS and visionOS interfaces?▼

Select the right presentation pattern by evaluating content structure, dismissal behavior, and platform-specific considerations across macOS and visionOS. This skill provides cross-reference mappings to related components to support end-to-end design decisions for these platforms.

Does this Apple HIG guidance cover popovers and action sheets for watchOS and tvOS?▼

Yes, this Apple HIG guidance scopes presentation patterns including popovers and action sheets across iOS, macOS, visionOS, watchOS, and tvOS, providing platform-specific considerations for maintaining usability and consistency.

What are the Apple HIG dismissal behavior guidelines for sheets and popovers?▼

Apple HIG dismissal behavior guidelines dictate that sheets typically require explicit user action to close, while popovers dismiss automatically when focus moves elsewhere. This skill outlines these behaviors to ensure consistent presentation pattern implementation.

Are there limitations to using action sheets for complex user interactions on iOS?▼

Action sheets are limited to presenting a set of choices related to the current context and are not suited for complex data entry. For deeper interactions, this skill provides cross-reference mappings to alternative HIG presentation components.
