SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Visual design QA for iOS apps on real hardware is often difficult and error-prone when done with emulators or static mocks. This skill connects to a real iPhone via the same StateServer as /ios-qa, captures screenshots across screens, and evaluates visuals against Apple HIG, DESIGN.md, and design best practices, providing structured scoring to guide improvements.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Real-device visual audits: capture screenshots from a live iPhone to validate visuals against guidelines.
  • Scoring & guidance: dimensions are scored 0-10 with explicit guidance on what would move each score to 10.
  • Design QA alignment: mirrors browser-based plan/design-review workflows for pre- and post-implementation checks.
  • Use-case scenarios: verify new UI changes across states, compare design consistency across screens, and prepare design-review artifacts for stakeholders.

Quick Start

Connect a real iPhone via StateServer, start the ios-design-review flow, and review the resulting visual QA report.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run a visual design QA audit on a real iOS device?

You can perform a real-device iOS visual audit by connecting a live iPhone through StateServer, capturing screenshots, and evaluating them against Apple HIG guidelines to generate structured 0-10 scoring reports.

What is the best way to check if my app UI matches Apple HIG standards?

Checking UI against Apple HIG standards involves capturing real-device iPhone screenshots via StateServer and auditing them against your DESIGN.md and HIG rules to produce scored visual review artifacts.

Do I need a physical iPhone to capture screenshots for iOS visual audits?

Yes, a physical iPhone is required. The visual audit connects to real hardware via StateServer to capture live screenshots, avoiding the visual inaccuracies and errors common with emulator-based testing.

How does real-device iOS visual review compare to emulator-based design QA?

Real-device visual review uses live iPhone screenshots for accurate HIG evaluation, whereas emulator-based design QA often introduces rendering errors. The real-device approach yields reliable 0-10 scored reports with actionable improvement guidance.

Why does my iOS design review require a StateServer connection?

The StateServer connection is required to interface with the physical iPhone, enabling the automated capture of live screenshots across various app screens for subsequent visual evaluation against Apple HIG.
