iOS Development Expert

Comprehensive guidance for iOS app development. This skill aggregates specialized modules for different aspects of iOS development.

When This Skill Activates

Use this skill when the user:

Asks about iOS development best practices
Wants code review for iOS/Swift projects
Needs UI/UX review against Human Interface Guidelines
Wants accessibility audit for iOS apps
Is planning a new iOS app
Needs help with SwiftUI patterns for iOS
Asks about navigation architecture (NavigationStack, NavigationSplitView, TabView)
Wants to run/launch the app in the Simulator or screenshot it to verify a change

Available Modules

Read relevant module files based on the user's needs:

coding-best-practices/

Swift code quality and modern idioms for iOS.

Modern Swift patterns and idioms
Architecture patterns (MVVM, Clean Architecture)
Code quality standards
Performance optimization

ui-review/

UI/UX review against Apple HIG.

Human Interface Guidelines compliance
Font usage and Dynamic Type support
Accessibility review (VoiceOver, color contrast)
SwiftUI best practices for iOS/watchOS

accessibility-audit/

Structured accessibility audit workflow (advisory).

Automated XCUITest audits (performAccessibilityAudit) + CI patterns
Accessibility Inspector workflow
Manual VoiceOver / Voice Control / Dynamic Type passes per common task
App Store Accessibility Nutrition Label evaluation + declaration

navigation-patterns/

SwiftUI navigation architecture patterns.

NavigationStack, NavigationLink, navigationDestination
NavigationSplitView (two/three column, iPad/macOS)
TabView (iOS 18 customizable tabs, sidebar mode)
Programmatic navigation (NavigationPath, pop-to-root, state restoration)
Navigation transitions (zoom, custom animations)

app-planner/

iOS app planning and analysis.

New app concept to architecture
Existing app audits
Tech stack evaluation
Product planning guidance

run-simulator/

Build, install, launch, and screenshot the app in the Simulator to verify a change visually (operational — uses Bash, not just guidance).

Discover scheme + an available simulator (no hardcoded device names)
Build for the simulator and resolve the .app + bundle id
Boot, install, launch, then screenshot and read it back
Drive navigation / deep links to reach the changed screen

run-device/

Run an app on a physical iPhone/iPad from the CLI (no Xcode GUI).

Build + code-sign for a device with xcodebuild -allowProvisioningUpdates
Install and launch via devicectl
Screenshot on hardware via libimobiledevice
Device prerequisites (Developer Mode, pairing) and signing gotchas

How to Use

Identify user's need from their question
Read relevant module files from subdirectories
Apply the guidance to their specific context
Reference Apple HIG documentation when needed

Example Workflow

User asks for UI review:

Read ui-review/SKILL.md for the full review process
Check their SwiftUI code against HIG
Verify accessibility compliance
Report findings with specific recommendations
