SHARE EXTENSION: SETUP: Requires separate extension target (kind: "share" in plan extensions array). The extension receives shared content (URLs, text, images) from other apps via the share sheet.
PRINCIPAL CLASS (in extension target): class ShareViewController: SLComposeServiceViewController { override func isContentValid() -> Bool { return contentText.count > 0 // Validate before enabling Post button }
override func didSelectPost() {
// Access shared items
guard let item = extensionContext?.inputItems.first as? NSExtensionItem,
let provider = item.attachments?.first else {
extensionContext?.completeRequest(returningItems: [], completionHandler: nil)
return
}
if provider.hasItemConformingToTypeIdentifier("public.url") {
provider.loadItem(forTypeIdentifier: "public.url") { [weak self] url, _ in
// Handle URL
self?.extensionContext?.completeRequest(returningItems: [], completionHandler: nil)
}

}
INFO.PLIST KEYS (in extension's Info.plist via XcodeGen): NSExtensionPrincipalClass: $(PRODUCT_MODULE_NAME).ShareViewController NSExtensionActivationRule: NSExtensionActivationSupportsWebURLWithMaxCount: 1 NSExtensionActivationSupportsText: true
APP GROUP: Use AppGroup entitlement to share data between main app and extension.

tools
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.
tools
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.
testing
watchOS complications: WidgetKit complication families, accessory sizes, timeline providers for watch face. Use when implementing watchOS-specific patterns related to widgets.
development
watchOS haptic feedback: WKInterfaceDevice preset haptic types for wrist-based feedback. Use when implementing watchOS-specific patterns related to haptics.
