# Swift and SwiftUI implementation — field guides

The distinct field guides record for Swift and SwiftUI implementation. This page is proposal-only.

Status: **proposed**Lifecycle: **candidate**

## Record status

**Record ID**: job:tim:swift-and-swiftui-implementation

**Parent lifecycle**: candidate

**Page lane**: docs_urls

**Lane lifecycle**: proposed

**Owner**: Tim

**Owner role**: Apple platform specialist

**Owner status**: PACKAGING

**Qualification result**: NOT RUN · held for evidence and human review

**Working browser surface:** [Agent jobs — builder overview](<https://guthlabs.ai/guth.html#builder>) — Inspect the package and stage a local project. This route is local-only; provider, credential, database, customer, publication, deployment, and production effects remain held.

Source-proposed guide paths are references, not proof that those paths resolve.

## Operating sequence

- Capture the request as a canonical job-linked implementation brief.

- Confirm the owner, authorized Apple files, target platforms, target OS versions, and explicit exclusions before editing.

- Inspect the relevant project and field-guide records in Notebook; preserve source locators, provenance, revisions, and attachments.

- Assess candidate Swift, SwiftUI, App Intents, Core Spotlight, Apple Intelligence, and other Apple framework capabilities without claiming an unavailable API.

- Create a platform capability record that distinguishes known capability, assumption, unknown, fallback, and hold state.

- Draft the cross-platform interaction model for iPhone, iPad, and Mac, including accessibility, layout, input, loading, empty, error, and degraded states.

- Implement only within the authorized Apple files and record every changed path.

- Run bounded local checks appropriate to the change, such as build, previews, unit checks, simulator checks, and accessibility inspection where available.

- Record evidence receipts, limitations, unresolved defects, and any divergence between intended and observed behavior.

- Route entitlement, credential, Store submission, production, and scope-exception decisions to human approval; do not execute or imply those effects.

- Update the job, project, implementation, and approval records with revisions and deterministic acceptance results.

- Close as locally verified, held, or needs revision; never mark external publication or production deployment from this package.

## Handoff boundary

- A named native surface or framework may be mistaken for a connected web feature; all app routes remain local prototypes or indexes unless separately evidenced.

- New entitlements may create security, privacy, review, or submission consequences and require human approval.

- Production credentials, Store submission, publication, and external writes are outside Tim's authority in this package.

- Core Spotlight or App Intents designs must not be represented as customer indexing, system registration, or live integration without evidence.

- Apple Intelligence behavior and API availability may vary by OS, device, region, entitlement, or SDK; record uncertainty and provide a fallback.

- Scope outside authorized Apple files is prohibited; stop and request approval rather than editing adjacent files.

- Do not race another writer; coordinate through linked records and revisions.

- Accessibility regressions can be introduced by custom SwiftUI components, Liquid Glass treatments, dynamic layout, or platform-specific navigation.

- Platform divergence between iPhone, iPad, and Mac can undermine product-family coherence if each surface is implemented independently.

- Local builds, previews, or simulator checks do not prove device coverage, Store readiness, production behavior, or customer qualification.

- Sensitive source files or credentials must not be uploaded or copied into unapproved storage; Notebook Files may hold references while protected storage or upload remains held.

- A failed build, unavailable capability, missing dependency, or unresolved review must produce a visible Held or Needs review state rather than a completion claim.
