To conduct a visual design audit on real hardware, this skill automates connecting to an iPhone, taking screenshots, and evaluating the design against Apple HIG and best practices to ensure design consistency.

Yes, you need a physical iPhone to run an iOS design review. The skill requires access to real hardware and appropriate software tools to capture screenshots and evaluate the visual interface.

The scoring system for evaluating iOS design compliance rates each design dimension on a 0-10 scale. It includes a 'what would make it a 10' framing to provide actionable feedback based on Apple HIG.

The best way to check if your app meets Apple HIG before implementation is using an automated visual audit. This skill captures screenshots on real hardware and scores them against HIG to highlight areas needing improvement.

You can use this visual audit tool for native iOS apps and live web visual audits. It connects to real hardware to take screenshots and evaluates the design against your DESIGN.md and Apple HIG standards.

When automating hardware testing for iOS visual audits, a key limitation is the strict dependency on physical iPhone access and specific software tools. Without this real hardware environment, the automated screenshot and evaluation process cannot run.
