# iOS Mobile Design

Master iOS Human Interface Guidelines (HIG) and SwiftUI patterns to build polished, native iOS applications that feel at home on Apple platforms.

## When to Use This Skill

- Designing iOS app interfaces following Apple HIG
- Building SwiftUI views and layouts
- Implementing iOS navigation patterns (NavigationStack, TabView, sheets)
- Creating adaptive layouts for iPhone and iPad
- Using SF Symbols and system typography
- Building accessible iOS interfaces
- Implementing iOS-specific gestures and interactions
- Designing for Dynamic Type and Dark Mode

## Core Concepts

### 1. Human Interface Guidelines Principles

**Clarity**: Content is legible, icons are precise, adornments are subtle
**Deference**: UI helps users understand content without competing with it
**Depth**: Visual layers and motion convey hierarchy and enable navigation

**Platform Considerations:**

- **iOS**: Touch-first, compact displays, portrait orientation
- **iPadOS**: Larger canvas, multitasking, pointer support
- **visionOS**: Spatial computing, eye/hand input

### 2. SwiftUI Layout System

**Stack-Based Layouts:**

```swift
// Vertical stack with alignment
VStack(alignment: .leading, spacing: 12) {
    Text("Title")
        .font(.headline)
    Text("Subtitle")
        .font(.subheadline)
        .foregroundStyle(.secondary)
}

// Horizontal stack with flexible spacing
HStack {
