Accessibility UI issues

Routing Logic

SwiftUI Issues

View not updating → /skill swiftui-debugging Navigation issues → /skill swiftui-nav Performance/lag → /skill swiftui-performance Layout problems → /skill swiftui-layout Animation issues → /skill swiftui-animation-ref Gesture conflicts → /skill swiftui-gestures Architecture/testability → /skill swiftui-architecture iOS 26 features → /skill swiftui-26-ref

UIKit Issues

Auto Layout conflicts → /skill auto-layout-debugging Animation timing issues → /skill uikit-animation-debugging

Design & Guidelines

Liquid Glass adoption → /skill liquid-glass Design decisions → /skill hig Typography → /skill typography-ref TextKit/rich text → /skill textkit-ref

Accessibility

VoiceOver, Dynamic Type → /skill accessibility-diag

Testing

UI test flakiness → /skill ui-testing
