What problem does it solve?

This skill solves the challenge of maintaining platform consistency and adhering to Apple's complex Human Interface Guidelines (HIG) when building iOS applications, preventing common design and implementation errors.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • HIG-Compliant Guidance: Provides deterministic rules for navigation, typography, and color hierarchy to ensure apps feel native.
  • Platform-Specific Best Practices: Includes specialized knowledge for Dynamic Island, Live Activities, HealthKit, and Speech API integration.
  • Use Case: When building a new dashboard, use this skill to verify that your navigation structure, touch targets, and semantic color usage meet Apple's accessibility and design standards.

Quick Start

Use the ios-design skill to audit the current SwiftUI navigation stack and ensure all interactive elements meet the 44x44 pt touch target requirement.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build SwiftUI components that comply with Apple's Human Interface Guidelines?

To build HIG-compliant SwiftUI components, apply deterministic design rules for navigation, typography, and color hierarchy. This ensures your iOS interfaces meet platform standards for native feel and prevents common UI/UX implementation errors.

What's the best way to ensure iOS accessibility with dynamic type scaling and dark mode?

Ensuring iOS accessibility requires applying deterministic design rules for dynamic type scaling and dark mode support. Using HIG-compliant guidance verifies that semantic color usage and touch targets meet Apple's accessibility standards.

Can I use this to design interfaces for platform-specific iOS features like Dynamic Island and Live Activities?

Yes, you can design interfaces for platform-specific iOS features like Dynamic Island and Live Activities. It provides specialized best practices and implementation guidance for these unique iOS capabilities alongside standard UIKit and SwiftUI components.

How do I verify my iOS app's navigation structure meets the 44x44 pt touch target requirement?

To verify your navigation structure meets the 44x44 pt touch target requirement, audit your SwiftUI navigation stack against HIG rules. This checks that all interactive elements satisfy Apple's accessibility and design standards.

Does this provide integration guidance for HealthKit and Speech API in mobile design?

Yes, this provides integration guidance for HealthKit and Speech API in mobile design. It includes platform-specific best practices for seamlessly incorporating these frameworks into your high-fidelity iOS application interfaces.
