Prompt Engineering for iOS Developers: Bridging UIKit and GenAI
Generative AI (GenAI) is redefining mobile experiences by enabling capabilities such as intelligent summarization, conversational interfaces, and context-aware automation. However, UIKit, Apple’s mature and widely used UI framework, was not originally designed to support the asynchronous, stateless workflows typical of GenAI.
This white paper equips iOS developers with practical strategies to integrate GenAI into existing UIKit applications without the need for a complete architectural overhaul. Discover how to craft effective prompts, implement modular AI components, preserve context, and uphold user privacy through on-device inference, all within the UIKit environment.
