ios-platform-capabilities
iOS platform capability orchestration for biometrics, Bluetooth printing, push notifications, native PDF export, and production networking.
Best use case
ios-platform-capabilities is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
iOS platform capability orchestration for biometrics, Bluetooth printing, push notifications, native PDF export, and production networking.
Teams using ios-platform-capabilities should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
- You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

# iOS Platform Capabilities Acknowledgement: Shared by Peter Bamuhigire, techguypeter.com, +256 784 464178. <!-- dual-compat-start --> ## Use When - Implementing or reviewing iOS capabilities that require Apple frameworks, entitlements, permissions, device hardware, background delivery, or native export. - The task references LocalAuthentication, CoreBluetooth, APNs, notification extensions, URLSession, offline queues, certificate pinning, or `UIGraphicsPDFRenderer`. - A retired capability skill is referenced by name. ## Do Not Use When - The work is general iOS architecture or UI without a platform framework capability. - The work is StoreKit monetization; use `ios-monetization`. - The work is security/RBAC governance rather than capability implementation; use `ios-security-and-rbac`. ## Required Inputs - Capability scope, target iOS versions, entitlements, permission copy, backend/API contract, offline requirements, privacy disclosures, and relevant device constraints. ## Workflow 1. Load `ios-development` for baseline Swift and app-structure rules. 2. Load `ios-security-and-rbac` when the capability touches secrets, identity, device trust, authorization, or tenant data. 3. Pick the reference for the requested capability and follow its implementation workflow. 4. Verify simulator/device limitations, entitlement setup, fallback behaviour, and user-facing permission states. ## Quality Standards - Capabilities must handle permission denied, unavailable hardware, offline operation where relevant, and background lifecycle constraints. - Native framework use must be testable, privacy-compliant, and documented in release notes or app-review evidence when required. ## Anti-Patterns - Implementing hardware or notification features without real-device verification. - Hiding entitlement, permission, or App Review requirements inside code comments only. - Building PDF/report/networking features without retry, failure, and export-state handling. ## Outputs - Capability implementation guidance, framework integration checklist, entitlement/privacy notes, test plan, or review findings. ## References - `references/ios-biometric-login.md` for Face ID/Touch ID launch gates and LocalAuthentication. - `references/ios-bluetooth-printing.md` for CoreBluetooth ESC/POS thermal printing. - `references/ios-push-notifications.md` for APNs, rich notifications, service extensions, and silent push. - `references/ios-pdf-export.md` for native multipage PDF export with `UIGraphicsPDFRenderer`. - `references/ios-networking-advanced.md` for production URLSession, typed errors, refresh, pinning, multipart, and offline queues. <!-- dual-compat-end -->
