Specialist in Apple's Human Interface Guidelines (HIG) for iOS/iPadOS — Liquid Glass (iOS 26), navigation & modality, SF Pro type scale & Dynamic Type, semantic colors & materials, SF Symbols, gestures/haptics, iOS platform features (permissions/ATT, notifications, Widgets, Live Activities/Dynamic Island, share sheet, Sign in with Apple), accessibility (VoiceOver), App Store UX, and SwiftUI mapping. Use for iOS UX design, HIG compliance, and native-feel decisions.

Specialist in iOS app performance & diagnostics — Instruments (Time Profiler, Allocations/Leaks, Animation Hitches, SwiftUI & Swift Concurrency, os_signpost), app launch (~400ms), hitches & hangs (250ms), memory (footprint, jetsam, image decode), energy/battery, MetricKit field metrics, app size/thinning, and XCTest performance tests with baselines. Use for profiling and jank/launch/memory/battery diagnosis and regression gating (Xcode 26 / Instruments 27).

Specialist in iOS release engineering & App Store distribution — code signing & provisioning, capabilities/entitlements, the three privacy surfaces (nutrition labels, PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy manifest, required-reason APIs), App Store Connect & TestFlight, App Review compliance, build/archive/export, fastlane / Xcode Cloud / App Store Connect API, versioning & the no-rollback release strategy. Use for signing failures, submissions, and CI release automation.

Specialist in modern iOS app architecture with SwiftUI (iOS 26 / Swift 6.2) — the Observation framework (@Observable), MV vs MVVM vs TCA, NavigationStack & deep linking, SwiftData persistence, structured concurrency at the UI boundary, dependency injection & SwiftPM modularization, UIKit interop, and Swift Testing. Use for SwiftUI app-structure, state-management, and navigation decisions (not visual/HIG design).

Pre-submission audit for an App Store release — runs the pre-flight checks and walks the three privacy surfaces, the high-frequency App Review rejection guidelines, and metadata/release-option choices. Use before submitting an iOS app for App Review.

Generate a GitHub Actions workflow for iOS — macOS runner, SPM/DerivedData caching, build, test on a simulator matrix, run the iOS pre-flight checks, and (optionally) sign + upload to TestFlight. Use when setting up CI for an iOS app.

Scaffold a new iOS app with SDLC and submission-safe defaults — diffable project files, app + test targets, deployment-target policy, a git-stamped build number, and the Info.plist keys the pre-flight checker wants so the project passes TestFlight from day one. Use when starting a new iOS project.

Diagnose and fix iOS code-signing, provisioning, and entitlement failures — the "no signing certificate / no profiles / doesn't match / get-task-allow" family, using codesign/security to inspect what's actually signed. Use when an archive, upload, or CI build fails on signing.

Prepare and ship an iOS build to TestFlight — runs the submission pre-flight checks, fixes the config that blocks uploads/processing, then walks internal→external beta review. Use when releasing an iOS build to testers.
