<objective> Covers iPadOS-specific development for tablet and productivity experiences: adaptive layouts across size classes, split views, external keyboard shortcut support, multi-window applications, and Stage Manager / Slide Over multitasking.

Includes the three scene/interaction areas an iPad app typically needs: size-class-aware adaptive layouts, keyboard shortcuts (⌘ commands) for productivity users, and Stage Manager's desktop-like multitasking model.

Best practices: support both compact and regular size classes, add keyboard shortcuts, enable drag and drop, support pointer/trackpad input, allow multiple window instances, and handle external-display output via UIScreen. </objective>

iPadOS Platform

iPadOS-specific development for tablet and productivity experiences.

Agent Workflow (MANDATORY)

Before ANY implementation, spawn 3 agents in parallel, one `Agent` call each with a `name`:

1. **fuse-ai-pilot:explore-codebase** - Analyze existing iPad patterns 2. **fuse-ai-pilot:research-expert** - Verify latest iPadOS 27.2 docs via Context7/Exa 3. **mcp__apple-docs__search_apple_docs** - Check iPad multitasking patterns

After implementation, run **fuse-ai-pilot:sniper** for validation.

Best Practices

1. **Size class adaptation** - Support compact and regular 2. **Keyboard shortcuts** - ⌘ shortcuts for productivity 3. **Drag and drop** - Enable data transfer 4. **Pointer support** - Mouse/trackpad cursors 5. **Multi-window** - Support multiple instances 6. **External display** - UIScreen support; with the 27 SDK non-interactive external scenes are no longer offered automatically: register `UISceneAccessory.externalNonInteractive` (UIKit) or use `.sceneAccessory` (SwiftUI). UIKit apps need the scene-based life cycle (`swift-core/references/sdk-27-changes.md`)

Questions about ipados.

Which coding agents can use ipados?
ipados installs in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, OpenCode and Windsurf with the skills CLI, using each agent's flag shown on this page. Flowy's auto-invocation, which fires a skill when your prompt matches, runs in Claude Code only.
