ios-design

SwiftUI interface implementation patterns aligned with the iOS 26 / Swift 6.2 clinic modular MVVM-C architecture, grounded in Creative Selection and Design Like Apple principles. Use when building new SwiftUI views/screens while respecting Domain/Data boundaries, App-target route-shell navigation, and production-grade accessibility/interaction standards.

# Apple SwiftUI iOS Design Best Practices

A builder's guide for implementing Apple-quality iOS interfaces in SwiftUI, grounded in two foundational design texts:

- **Ken Kocienda** — *Creative Selection* (empathy for the user, craft in coding, taste in choosing the best solution, demo culture of iterative refinement)
- **John Edson** — *Design Like Apple* (systems thinking, the product is the marketing, design out loud, design with conviction)

Contains 62 rules across 8 principle-based categories. Each rule identifies a specific anti-pattern, grounds the fix in a named principle, and provides the correct iOS 26 / Swift 6.2 SwiftUI implementation.

## Scope & Relationship to Sibling Skills

This skill is the **building and implementation guide** — it teaches how to construct new SwiftUI interfaces from scratch using Apple-quality patterns. When loaded alongside `ios-ui-refactor` (reviewing/refactoring existing UI), this skill covers the greenfield implementation that `ios-ui-refactor` later audits. Use this skill for building new screens; use the sibling for evaluating and improving existing ones.
