When should I use this skill?

User asks refresh deprecated SwiftUI APIs, scan API changes, or post-iOS release update.

What you get

Updated latest-apis.md with new deprecated-to-modern transitions and lookup table.

  • updated SwiftUI view files
  • refreshed API scan manifest entries

By the numbers

  • Navigation category includes 5 documented Apple documentation paths in the manifest excerpt

Update SwiftUI APIs

Systematically scan Apple's developer documentation via the Sosumi MCP, identify deprecated SwiftUI APIs and their modern replacements, and update swiftui-expert-skill/references/latest-apis.md.

Prerequisites

  • Sosumi MCP must be enabled and available (provides searchAppleDocumentation, fetchAppleDocumentation, fetchAppleVideoTranscript, fetchExternalDocumentation)
  • Write access to this repository (or a fork)

Workflow

1. Understand current coverage

Read swiftui-expert-skill/references/latest-apis.md to understand:

  • Which deprecated-to-modern transitions are already documented
  • The version segments in use (iOS 15+, 16+, 17+, 18+, 26+)
  • The Quick Lookup Table at the bottom

2. Load the scan manifest

Read references/scan-manifest.md (relative to this skill). It contains the categorized list of API areas, documentation paths, search queries, and WWDC video paths to scan.

3. Scan Apple documentation

For each category in the manifest:

1. Call searchAppleDocumentation with the listed queries to discover relevant pages. 2. Call fetchAppleDocumentation with specific documentation paths to get full API details. 3. Look for deprecation notices, "Deprecated" labels, and "Use ... instead" guidance. 4. Note the iOS version where the modern replacement became available. 5. Optionally call fetchAppleVideoTranscript for WWDC sessions that announce API changes.

Batch related searches together for efficiency. Focus on finding new deprecations not yet in latest-apis.md.

4. Compare and identify changes

Compare findings against existing entries. Categorize results:

  • New deprecations: APIs not yet documented in latest-apis.md
  • Corrections: Existing entries that need updating (wrong version, better replacement available)
  • New version segments: If a new iOS version introduces deprecations, add a new section

5. Update latest-apis.md

Follow the established format exactly. Each entry must include:

Section placement -- place under the correct version segment:

  • "Always Use (iOS 15+)" for long-deprecated APIs
  • "When Targeting iOS 16+" / "17+" / "18+" / "26+" for version-gated changes

Entry format:

**Always use `modernAPI()` instead of `deprecatedAPI()`.**

\```swift
// Modern
View()
    .modernAPI()

// Deprecated
View()
    .deprecatedAPI()
\```

Quick Lookup Table -- add a row at the bottom of the file:

| `deprecatedAPI()` | `modernAPI()` | iOS XX+ |

Keep the attribution line at the top of the file:

Based on a comparison of Apple's documentation using the Sosumi MCP, we found the latest recommended APIs to use.

6. Open a pull request

1. Create a branch from main named update/latest-apis-YYYY-MM (use current year and month). 2. Commit changes to swiftui-expert-skill/references/latest-apis.md. 3. Open a PR via gh pr create with:

  • Title: "Update latest SwiftUI APIs (Month Year)"
  • Body: Summary of new/changed entries, attribution to Sosumi MCP

Sosumi MCP Tool Reference

ToolParametersReturns
searchAppleDocumentationquery (string)JSON with results[] containing title, url, description, breadcrumbs, tags, type
fetchAppleDocumentationpath (string, e.g. /documentation/swiftui/view/foregroundstyle(_:))Markdown documentation content
fetchAppleVideoTranscriptpath (string, e.g. /videos/play/wwdc2025/10133)Markdown transcript
fetchExternalDocumentationurl (string, full https URL)Markdown documentation content

Tips

  • Start broad with searchAppleDocumentation queries, then drill into specific paths with fetchAppleDocumentation.
  • Apple's deprecation docs typically say "Deprecated" in the page and link to the replacement.
  • WWDC "What's new in SwiftUI" sessions are the best source for newly introduced replacements.
  • When unsure about the exact iOS version for a deprecation, verify by checking the "Availability" section in the fetched documentation.
  • If an API is deprecated but no direct replacement exists, note this rather than suggesting an incorrect alternative.

How it compares

Use Update SwiftUI APIs when you need a repeatable, manifest-driven SwiftUI deprecation scan instead of manual Apple doc hunting per modifier.
