SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Visual design QA for iOS apps on real hardware is often difficult and error-prone when done with emulators or static mocks. This skill connects to a real iPhone via the same StateServer as /ios-qa, captures screenshots across screens, and evaluates visuals against Apple HIG, DESIGN.md, and design best practices, providing structured scoring to guide improvements.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Real-device visual audits: capture screenshots from a live iPhone to validate visuals against guidelines.
  • Scoring & guidance: dimensions are scored 0-10 with explicit guidance on what would move each score to 10.
  • Design QA alignment: mirrors browser-based plan/design-review workflows for pre- and post-implementation checks.
  • Use-case scenarios: verify new UI changes across states, compare design consistency across screens, and prepare design-review artifacts for stakeholders.

Quick Start

Connect a real iPhone via StateServer, start the ios-design-review flow, and review the resulting visual QA report.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run a visual design QA audit on a real iOS device?▼

You can perform a real-device iOS visual audit by connecting a live iPhone through StateServer, capturing screenshots, and evaluating them against Apple HIG guidelines to generate structured 0-10 scoring reports.

What is the best way to check if my app UI matches Apple HIG standards?▼

Checking UI against Apple HIG standards involves capturing real-device iPhone screenshots via StateServer and auditing them against your DESIGN.md and HIG rules to produce scored visual review artifacts.

Do I need a physical iPhone to capture screenshots for iOS visual audits?▼

Yes, a physical iPhone is required. The visual audit connects to real hardware via StateServer to capture live screenshots, avoiding the visual inaccuracies and errors common with emulator-based testing.

How does real-device iOS visual review compare to emulator-based design QA?▼

Real-device visual review uses live iPhone screenshots for accurate HIG evaluation, whereas emulator-based design QA often introduces rendering errors. The real-device approach yields reliable 0-10 scored reports with actionable improvement guidance.

Why does my iOS design review require a StateServer connection?▼

The StateServer connection is required to interface with the physical iPhone, enabling the automated capture of live screenshots across various app screens for subsequent visual evaluation against Apple HIG.
