Apple HIG: Technologies
Check for .claude/apple-design-context.md before asking questions. Use existing context and only ask for information not already covered.
Key Principles
General
- Apple technologies extend app capabilities through system integration. Each technology has established user-facing patterns; deviating creates confusion and erodes trust.
- Privacy and user control are paramount. Especially for health, payment, and identity technologies. Request only needed data, explain why, respect choices.
Siri and Voice
- Natural, predictable, recoverable. Clear conversational intent phrases that complete quickly and confirm results. Support App Shortcuts for proactive suggestions. Handle errors with clear fallbacks.
Payments and Commerce
- Transparent and frictionless. Standard Apple Pay button styles. Never ask for card details when Apple Pay is available. Clearly describe what the user is buying, the price, and whether it's one-time or subscription.
Health and Fitness
- Health data is deeply personal. Explain the health benefit before requesting access. CareKit tasks should be encouraging. ResearchKit consent flows must be thorough, readable, and respect autonomy.
Smart Home
- Simple and reliable. Immediate response when controlling devices. Clear device state. Graceful handling of connectivity issues
