How does it handle platform-specific UI differences?

It provides patterns for conditional compilation (#if os) and platform-adaptive view modifiers to apply the correct styling, navigation, and list styles based on the target OS.

Does it support the latest Swift features?

Yes, the guide includes patterns designed for modern Swift 6.0 and the Observation framework, requiring Xcode 26+ for the latest API support.

What platforms does this skill support?

This skill covers the entire modern Apple ecosystem, including iOS, macOS, iPadOS, watchOS, tvOS, and visionOS.

Can I use this for shared business logic?

Yes, the skill emphasizes using platform-agnostic ViewModels and shared Swift packages to centralize logic while maintaining platform flexibility.

Mobile Development

Provides architectural patterns and conditional compilation strategies for sharing Swift code across the entire Apple ecosystem.

About

This skill equips developers with standardized patterns for cross-platform Apple development, enabling seamless code sharing between iOS, macOS, iPadOS, watchOS, tvOS, and visionOS. It offers comprehensive guidance on implementing platform-specific extensions, utilizing conditional compilation directives, building shared Swift packages, and creating adaptive SwiftUI layouts that respond to different device capabilities and size classes. It is particularly useful for building universal apps or maintaining a shared core across multiple platform-specific targets using modern Swift 6 patterns.
