What problem does it solve?

Helps developers turn iPhone-centered interfaces into iPad-optimized experiences by providing concrete patterns and actionable guidance for multitasking, multi-window behavior, input methods, and peripheral interactions so apps feel native and productive on iPad.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multitasking & Windows: Guidance on UIScene lifecycle, requesting and restoring scenes, WindowGroup usage, and Stage Manager resizing best practices.
  • Input & Interaction: Patterns for keyboard shortcuts, discoverability, pointer/trackpad hover effects, and focus management to support productivity workflows.
  • Drag, Drop & Pencil: Recommendations for Transferable/NSItemProvider drag-and-drop, spring loading, and PencilKit/touch-type filtering for drawing and scribble support.
  • Use Case: Convert an iPhone document editor to a fully multi-window, keyboard-enabled iPad app with drag-and-drop between windows and Pencil annotation support.
