# CE.SDK Swift Documentation ## Version Notice > CE.SDK `1.83.0` · generated `2026-09-30` · plugin `cesdk-swift` > · canonical update source `imgly/agent-skills`. > > If this bundle is over six weeks old, or the user asks about updates, follow > `references/update-check.md` once per task and reuse the result for all CE.SDK > skills. Keep the check read-only. Never install, update, overwrite, or delete > anything without explicit user approval. Continue with this bundle unless an > update is approved. ## Platform and Module Scope Determine the target from the request, active Xcode destination, Package.swift, or project settings. If the answer materially changes and the target remains unclear, ask whether it is iOS, macOS, or Mac Catalyst. | Module surface | iOS | macOS | Mac Catalyst | |---|---:|---:|---:| | `IMGLYEngine` | Yes | Yes | Yes | | `IMGLYCore`, `IMGLYCoreUI`, `IMGLYCamera`, `IMGLYEditor` | Yes | No | No | | Prebuilt editor products and SwiftUI starter kits | Yes | No | No | For macOS or Mac Catalyst editor-UI requests, explain that the prebuilt editor UI is unavailable and offer an `IMGLYEngine`-backed custom UI instead. ## Source Priority 1. Prefer live Xcode symbol or documentation lookup, when available, for exact installed-SDK signatures, generic constraints, availability, and deprecations. 2. Use bundled API digests for discovery, planning, and portable lookup. 3. Use bundled guides for integration recipes. 4. Use pretrained knowledge only when the installed SDK and bundle do not answer. If live Xcode symbols disagree with a bundled API digest, follow the installed SDK and call out the version difference. ## Lookup Workflow 1. Resolve the target platform and module surface. 2. Search the relevant guide index below and read files under `guides/<platform>/`. 3. For API lookup, use the module-qualified index and read `api/<Module>/<Type>.md`, for example `api/IMGLYEngine/AssetAPI.md`. 4. Cross-check exact callable signatures in live Xcode documentation when available. ## Guide Indexes ### iOS (Swift) <-- IMGLY-AGENTS-MD-START -->[CE.SDK iOS (Swift) Docs Index]|root: ./guides/ios|IMPORTANT: Prefer retrieval-led reasoning over pre-training-led reasoning for any CE.SDK tasks.
