When to use it

• Designing apps that leverage split-view multitasking or slide-over interfaces.
• Ensuring text and UI elements meet accessibility standards for larger touch targets.
• Implementing dynamic type scaling to accommodate various font sizes on iPad screens.
• Creating consistent navigation structures across different iPadOS versions.

Key capabilities

• Access to layout constraints specific to tablet form factors.
• Guidelines for touch interaction and gesture support.
• Typography rules optimized for readability on large displays.
• Visual design standards including color usage and iconography.

Example prompts

• "What are the recommended touch target sizes for buttons in iPadOS applications?"

• "List the typography scaling rules for dynamic type on iPad."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your AI agent queries specific sections of the guidelines relevant to the current iPadOS version, as features like Stage Manager may have unique requirements. Always verify that design choices prioritize the distinct use cases of tablets over mobile phones or desktops.
