Apple Human Interface Guidelines
The Apple Human Interface Guidelines (HIG) are a set of design principles and best practices published by Apple for developing user interfaces across its platforms, including iOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS. They provide detailed recommendations on visual design, interaction patterns, and user experience to ensure apps are intuitive, consistent, and accessible. Following these guidelines helps developers create apps that feel native to Apple ecosystems and meet user expectations.
Developers should learn and use the Apple HIG when building apps for Apple platforms to ensure their applications align with Apple's design standards and provide a seamless user experience. This is crucial for app approval in the App Store, as Apple reviews apps for compliance with these guidelines. It also enhances usability and accessibility, which can lead to higher user satisfaction and retention.
