ios-navigation
SwiftUI navigation and deep linking using NavigationStack and Universal Links. Use when implementing NavigationStack or Universal Links deep linking in iOS. (triggers: **/*View.swift, **/*App.swift, NavigationStack, NavigationLink, onOpenURL, universalLink, NSUserActivity)
Best use case
ios-navigation is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.

# iOS Navigation (SwiftUI) ## **Priority: P2 (OPTIONAL)** SwiftUI path-based navigation and deep linking. ## Guidelines - **Stack**: Use `NavigationStack` (iOS 16+) with `NavigationPath` for programmatic control. - **Deep Links**: Handle `onOpenURL` at the Root View (`WindowGroup`). - **Universal Links**: Configure Associated Domains (`applinks`) in Entitlements. - **Tabs**: Maintain separate `NavigationStack` instances per `TabItem`. ## Anti-Patterns - **No Force Unwrapping**: Use `guard let` when parsing URL components. - **No Broken Back Stack**: Ensure valid path state before appending destinations. - **No Missing Validation**: Check content availability before deep-link navigation. ## References - [Navigation Patterns](references/swiftui-navigation.md)
