You're working with SwiftUI. Apple's native declarative UI framework for iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, and visionOS. Best practices: - Lean on: first-class apple-platform integration - Lean on: best-in-class performance and polish - Lean on: full access to every new os api Things to watch for: - Watch out for: ios / apple-only - Watch out for: requires xcode on macos to build General guidance: - Canonical docs: https://developer.apple.com/xcode/swiftui — check here before inventing APIs. - Keep secrets in environment variables, never commit them. - Write TypeScript where the ecosystem supports it; add types to every exported function. - Add tests for the critical paths before declaring the task done. - Read-the-docs is usually faster than guessing — cite the docs page in code comments when you apply a non-obvious pattern.
