What problem does it solve?

This Skill reduces complexity and uncertainty when designing and building iOS and macOS applications by consolidating guidance on choosing between SwiftUI and UIKit, implementing app architecture, and managing persistence, networking, lifecycle, and platform conventions.

Core Features & Use Cases

• SwiftUI vs UIKit decision matrix and hybrid integration patterns for mixing frameworks.
• Architecture patterns (MVVM) with ViewModel examples, service layers, and testability guidance.
• Data persistence options and patterns including UserDefaults, File system, SwiftData, Core Data, and Keychain.
• Modern async/await networking examples, app lifecycle handling, navigation patterns, accessibility, and Human Interface Guidelines.
• Use Case: Implement a SwiftUI app with MVVM and SwiftData targeting iOS 17 that loads remote data asynchronously, persists state securely, and follows HIG accessibility practices.

Quick Start

Create a step-by-step implementation plan for an iOS app using SwiftUI, MVVM, and SwiftData targeting iOS 17 that includes a sample ViewModel, persistence setup, and basic networking.
