Does this skill support older versions of iOS?

This skill targets modern SwiftUI features and requires iOS 17+, macOS 14+, and Swift 6.0+ to support the @Observable macro and current navigation APIs.

Is the settings content searchable?

Yes, SettingsKit automatically indexes settings titles. This skill also shows how to use .settingsTags to add additional keywords to your settings items for better discoverability.

Can I customize the layout for different platforms?

Yes, the skill demonstrates how to use different SettingsStyle configurations like .sidebar for iPad/Mac and .single for iPhone, or even how to create custom styles.

What is the SwiftUI SettingsKit skill?

It is a Claude Code skill that provides specialized guidance, implementation patterns, and best practices for building settings interfaces using the SettingsKit package in SwiftUI.

Why should I use @Observable instead of ObservableObject?

SettingsKit is optimized for Swift 6's modern observation system, which provides better performance and a cleaner syntax compared to the older @Published and ObservableObject patterns.

Mobile Development

Simplifies the creation of production-ready, platform-adaptive SwiftUI settings interfaces for Apple platforms using modern Swift 6 patterns.

About

SwiftUI SettingsKit is a specialized skill designed to help developers implement comprehensive settings and preferences screens across iOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS, and visionOS. By leveraging the SettingsKit framework and Swift 6 observation patterns, this skill provides a declarative approach to building complex settings hierarchies with built-in search functionality, reactive state management, and automatic layout adaptation. It is ideal for developers looking to move away from boilerplate-heavy settings code toward a structured, production-grade implementation that follows Apple's latest platform standards.

Key Features

Full integration with Swift 6 @Observable macro and @Bindable state management
Pre-configured boilerplate for cross-platform Apple ecosystem deployment
21 GitHub stars
Declarative settings hierarchy using SettingsGroup and SettingsItem components
Automatic search indexing with support for custom searchable tags
Platform-adaptive UI styles including sidebar (iPad/Mac) and single-column (iPhone) layouts

Use Cases

Migrating legacy SwiftUI settings from ObservableObject to modern Swift 6 observation
Creating multi-level nested preferences screens for complex macOS and iOS applications
Implementing searchable settings interfaces that adapt to various device form factors automatically
