| description | Apple platform API adoption for the iOS 26 / macOS 26 SDK generation: Liquid Glass (SwiftUI, UIKit, AppKit, WidgetKit), Swift 6.2 features (InlineArray, Span, concurrency updates), Foundation Models (on-device LLM), Visual Intelligence, AppIntents, StoreKit, SwiftData inheritance, AlarmKit, 3D Charts, MapKit GeoToolbox, AttributedString, visionOS widgets. Use when adopting, migrating to, or asking about these platform APIs. For SDK 27 SwiftUI changes use swiftui-whats-new-27; for general SwiftUI use swiftui.

Apple Platforms (iOS 26 / macOS 26 generation)
Curated references for the platform APIs introduced with the iOS 26 SDK
generation. Load references/_guide.md first, then specific references.
SDK version note: these references cover the iOS 26 / macOS 26 era.
For the next SDK generation (iOS 27), see swiftui-whats-new-27 (SwiftUI),
uikit-app-modernization (mandatory UIScene lifecycle), and xcode-agentic
(Xcode 27 tooling).

Verification Discipline
These APIs evolve quickly. When implementation depends on exact behavior:
- Check the deployment target before recommending an API (most require iOS 26+).
- Verify against the documentation corpus via the
apple-docs skill
(MCP search_docs/read_doc or apple-docs search/read CLI) before
trusting these curated summaries or training memory.
- Prefer primary sources (Apple docs, SDK headers) when references conflict
with observed compiler behavior.
- State the version context in answers ("available iOS 26+, back-deploys to…").
