SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Apple HIG Design Intelligence provides guidance and tooling to ensure UI built in React Native / Expo complies with Apple Human Interface Guidelines, improving usability and visual consistency.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Build and review UI components that adhere to Apple's HIG principles, including semantic colors, typography, and 8pt grid.
  • Animate with proper physics using spring-based transitions and avoid linear timing for a more natural feel.
  • Analyze reference motion, generate design tokens, and enforce HIG-driven design system decisions.

Quick Start

Create a sample React Native component that follows Apple HIG guidelines and run the HIG checker to validate compliance.

FAQPage Schema
How do I apply Apple HIG design rules to React Native components?

To apply Apple HIG design rules to React Native components, you can use a design intelligence tool to detect and enforce non-negotiables like borderCurve: 'continuous', semantic color tokens, and a 4pt grid. It automatically validates UI components for HIG compliance during development and code reviews.

What is the best way to implement spring animations in Expo apps?

The best way to implement spring animations in Expo apps is by using proper physics-based transitions that avoid linear timing for a more natural feel. You should also enforce useReducedMotion to ensure accessibility compliance and generate appropriate design tokens from reference motion analysis.

Does this HIG checker support dark mode and semantic color tokens for Expo projects?

Yes, this HIG checker supports dark mode and semantic color tokens for Expo projects. It enforces dark-mode support via useColorScheme and ensures your UI components use semantic colors, typography, and an 8pt grid that complies with Apple Human Interface Guidelines.

Can I use expo-haptics for key interactions in React Native UI design?

Yes, you can use expo-haptics for key interactions in React Native UI design. The HIG design intelligence enforces expo-haptics on key interactions, alongside other Apple Human Interface Guidelines non-negotiables like borderCurve: 'continuous' and a 4pt grid layout.

How do I generate design tokens from reference motion for my React Native app?

To generate design tokens from reference motion for your React Native app, you can analyze the reference motion and enforce HIG-driven design system decisions. This ensures your animation design uses spring-based transitions and proper physics while maintaining visual consistency.

Why should I use borderCurve continuous for UI components in React Native?

You should use borderCurve: 'continuous' for UI components in React Native because it is a non-negotiable Apple HIG design rule. It ensures smooth corner rendering that matches iOS visual standards, improving usability and visual consistency across your Expo applications.
