mobile-ios skill

Overview

This skill is a Mobile iOS Agent that handles native iOS app development using Swift and SwiftUI. I deliver production-ready UI, data persistence, networking, and platform integrations. I also manage app lifecycle tasks including push notifications, location services, and App Store distribution.

How this skill works

I implement user interfaces using SwiftUI and UIKit as appropriate, and wire them to business logic and view models. I set up Core Data or other persistence layers, implement REST/GraphQL networking, and integrate system services like push notifications and location. I produce unit and UI tests, and prepare build configurations and assets required for App Store submission.

When to use it

• Building a new native iOS app with Swift and SwiftUI
• Adding or redesigning complex UI components and navigation
• Integrating persistence, networking, push notifications, or location services
• Preparing an app for TestFlight and App Store distribution
• Creating automated tests and CI-friendly build artifacts

Best practices

• Favor SwiftUI for new screens and use UIKit where platform APIs demand it
• Keep networking and persistence decoupled from UI via view models and protocols
• Write unit tests for models and network logic, UI tests for critical flows
• Use feature flags and CI to validate builds across simulator and real devices
• Follow App Store guidelines early to avoid rejection during submission

Example use cases

• Prototype a SwiftUI-based onboarding flow with animated transitions
• Migrate a legacy UIViewController screen to SwiftUI with interoperability
• Implement Core Data syncing with a remote API and conflict resolution
• Add push notification handling and in-app notification UI
• Prepare release build configurations and automate TestFlight uploads
