Navigation Pattern Rules
Pattern Selection Guide
| Pattern | When to Use |
|---------|-------------|
| NavigationStack | Hierarchical drill-down (list → detail → edit) |
| TabView with Tab API | 3+ distinct top-level peer sections |
| .sheet(item:) | Creation forms, secondary actions, settings |
| .fullScreenCover | Immersive experiences (media player, onboarding) |
| NavigationStack + .sheet | Most MVPs with 2-4 features |
NavigationStack
Use for hierarchical navigation with a back button:
NavigationStack {
List(items) { item in
NavigationLink(value: item) {
ItemRow(item: item)
}
}
.navigationDestination(for: Item.self) { item in
ItemDetailView(item: item)
}
.navigationTitle("Items")
}
TabView with Tab API
Use when the app has 3+ distinct, peer-level sections:
TabView {
Tab("Home", systemImage: "house") {
HomeView()
}
Tab("Search", systemImage: "magnifyingglass") {
SearchView()
}
Tab("Profile", systemImage: "person") {
ProfileView()
}
}
Sheets
Choose the right sheet variant based on context:
.sheet(item:)— for editing or viewing an existing item (the item drives the sheet).sheet(isPresented:)— acceptable for creation forms and simple actions (no item yet)
// Editing/viewing an existing item — use item-driven
@State private var editingItem: Item?
.sheet(item: $editingItem) { item in
EditItemView(item: item)
}
// Creating a new item — isPresented is fine
@State private var showAddItem = false
.sheet(isPresented: $showAddItem) {
AddItemView()
}
Full Screen Cover
Use for immersive content that should cover the entire screen:
@State private var showOnboarding = false
.fullScreenCover(isPresented: $showOnboarding) {
OnboardingView()
}
Type-Safe Routing
Always use navigationDestination(for:) for type-safe routing:
// Define route types
.navigationDestination(for: Note.self) { note in
NoteDetailView(note: note)
}
.navigationDestination(for: Category.self) { category in
CategoryView(category: category)
}

Apple platform skill for docs, WWDC lookup, App Store Connect work, and SwiftUI app generation. Use repo-local `node cli.js` for Apple docs and WWDC search, `appledev store` for App Store Connect workflows, and `appledev build` for app scaffolding or fix loops on macOS. USE WHEN: Apple APIs, WWDC sessions, TestFlight/App Store tasks, or building/fixing Apple-platform apps. DON'T USE WHEN: non-Apple platforms, generic backend work, or general web research. EDGE CASES: docs-only queries use `node cli.js` in this repo, not `appledev`; release workflows use `appledev store`; app scaffolding uses `appledev build`; rules-only requests can read `references/ios-rules/` or `references/swiftui-guides/` progressively without invoking binaries.

All-in-one Apple developer skill with three integrated tools shipped as a single unified binary. (1) Documentation search across Apple frameworks, symbols, and 1,267 WWDC sessions from 2014-2025. No credentials needed. (2) App Store Connect CLI with 120+ commands covering builds (find/wait/upload), TestFlight, pre-submission validate, submissions, signing, subscriptions (family-sharable), IAP, analytics, Xcode Cloud, metadata workflows, release pipeline dashboard, insights, win-back offers, promoted purchases, product pages, nominations, accessibility declarations, pre-orders, pricing filters, localizations update, diff, webhooks with local receiver, workflow automation, and more. Requires App Store Connect API key. (3) Multi-platform app builder (iOS/watchOS/tvOS/iPad/macOS/visionOS) that generates complete Swift/SwiftUI apps from natural language with auto-fix, simulator launch, interactive chat mode, and open-in-Xcode. Requires an LLM API key and Xcode. Includes 38 iOS development rules and 12 SwiftUI best practice guides for Liquid Glass, navigation, state management, and modern APIs. All three tools ship as one binary (appledev). USE WHEN: Apple API docs, App Store Connect management, WWDC lookup, or building iOS/watchOS/tvOS/macOS/visionOS apps from scratch. DON'T USE WHEN: non-Apple platforms or general coding.
