# iphone-duo-readiness

Audits iOS apps and prepares them for the foldable iPhone Duo. It hunts hardcoded screen sizes, deprecated UIScreen calls, and layout bugs when targeting the iOS 27.1 SDK.

## What it does

The skill audits an iOS codebase for Apple's foldable iPhone Duo, which features a 5.4-inch outer display and a 7.6-inch inner display. It checks the SDK baseline and hunts rigid assumptions like `UIDevice.current.orientation` or `UIScreen.main`, pointing to dynamic replacements such as `view.bounds` or `GeometryReader`.

A frequent defect stems from treating `horizontalSizeClass == .regular` as an iPad-only condition. The inner display of the Duo runs regular width on a phone, causing iPad layouts to appear unexpectedly. The checklist also inspects safe area calculations: side controls make margins asymmetric, so doubling one edge creates broken insets.

Bumping to the iOS 27.1 SDK without checking content adaptation will cause vertical toolbars to overlap your view layout.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**

npx skills add mirzaaghazadeh/iphone-duo-skills --skill iphone-duo-readiness -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/iphone-duo-readiness/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/iphone-duo-readiness/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add mirzaaghazadeh/iphone-duo-skills --skill iphone-duo-readiness -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add mirzaaghazadeh/iphone-duo-skills --skill iphone-duo-readiness -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/iphone-duo-readiness/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

## When to use it
- audit an iOS codebase for fixed screen dimensions
- replace deprecated UIScreen.main calls with dynamic bounds
- fix iPad-only layouts triggered by regular width on phones
- correct symmetric safe area insets for foldable displays

## Example prompts
- Audit this iOS project for iPhone Duo readiness and flag hardcoded screen assumptions
- Help me replace UIScreen.main calls and orientation checks with adaptive alternatives
- Review our layout insets and safe area calculations for asymmetric vertical bars

# Get an iOS app ready for iPhone Duo

iPhone Duo is Apple's first foldable iPhone: a 5.4-inch outer display and a
7.6-inch inner display sharing one aspect ratio, joined by a hinge the user can
leave at any angle. An existing iPhone app runs on it unchanged — but it will
look like an app that has not been thought about.

This skill is the entry point. Work the checklist, then hand off to the
specialist skill for whatever the app actually does.

## The one idea to hold onto

**iPhone Duo is not a new idiom. It is a wider continuum of sizes.**

Every mistake in this port comes from an app asserting something fixed: this
idiom, this orientation, this screen, this width, this symmetric inset. Every
fix is the same shape — replace the assertion with a question about the space
actually available right now.

If you find yourself writing a branch that means "if iPhone Duo", stop. Write a
branch on size class or available space instead, and it will be right on iPad,
in Split View, under iPhone mirroring, and on whatever ships next.

## Step 1 — Establish the baseline

Find out what the app is building against, because the SDK is the gate:

| Built against | Behavior on iPhone Duo |
|---|---|
| iOS 26 SDK or earlier | Runs, but doesn't adapt. Open, the app sits **centered with empty space around it**. Closed, content shows to the left of the status bar and camera. |
| iOS 27 SDK | Resizes to fill most of the inner display, but still avoids the status bar on the right edge. |
| **iOS 27.1 SDK or later** | Extends to the full display, with toolbars and tab bars vertical below the status bar. Unlocks the reserved-region and arrangement APIs. |

Check the deployment target and the SDK in the project, then say plainly which
tier the app is in. Getting to the 27.1 tier is the single highest-leverage
change; almost everything else in this skill assumes it.

One caution before you ship at the 27.1 tier: that's the point where the bars go
vertical, so confirm the content adapts to that before releasing. Jumping tiers
without checking is how an app ends up with controls overlapping its own layout.

### Let the tooling do the first pass

Xcode ships an **App Resizability** skill (renamed from the app modernization
skill; it now covers SwiftUI and iPhone Duo). In Xcode, ask the coding assistant
```
