iOS Dev Docs

Overview

Use the bundled Xcode IDEIntelligenceChat AdditionalDocumentation to answer iOS development questions.

Workflow

• The references directory is flat (no topic subfolders).
• Use filename prefixes to narrow the topic, then search the directory with rg for relevant keywords and API names.
• Open the most relevant files and extract the exact sections needed.
• Prefer quoting or paraphrasing only the documented behavior; avoid speculation.
• Cite the file path in the response when using the docs.

Topic hints (filename prefixes)

• SwiftUI: SwiftUI-*.md
• UIKit: UIKit-*.md
• AppKit: AppKit-*.md
• StoreKit: StoreKit-*.md
• MapKit: MapKit-*.md
• AppIntents: AppIntents-*.md
• WidgetKit: WidgetKit-*.md
• visionOS: Widgets-for-visionOS.md
• Swift: Swift-*.md
• Swift Charts: Swift-Charts-*.md
• SwiftData: SwiftData-*.md
• Foundation: Foundation-*.md
• Foundation Models: FoundationModels-*.md

Tips

• Read the smallest relevant file first when multiple matches appear.
• Keep context small by loading only the needed file(s) from references.
