Reference for App Store Connect crash analysis, TestFlight feedback, metrics dashboards, and data export workflows

Use when asking 'where should I store this data', 'should I use SwiftData or files', 'CloudKit vs iCloud Drive', 'Documents vs Caches', 'local or cloud storage', 'how do I sync data', 'where do app files go' - comprehensive decision framework for all iOS storage options

Use when asking about 'purge files', 'storage pressure', 'disk space iOS', 'isExcludedFromBackup', 'URL resource values', 'volumeAvailableCapacity', 'low storage', 'file purging priority', 'cache management' - comprehensive reference for iOS storage management and URL resource value APIs

Use when encountering BUILD FAILED, test crashes, simulator hangs, stale builds, zombie xcodebuild processes, "Unable to boot simulator", "No such module" after SPM changes, or mysterious test failures despite no code changes - systematic environment-first diagnostics for iOS/macOS projects

Use when optimizing large value type performance, working with noncopyable types, or reducing ARC traffic. Covers borrowing, consuming, inout modifiers, consume operator, ~Copyable types.

Use when CAAnimation completion handler doesn't fire, spring physics look wrong on device, animation duration mismatches actual time, gesture + animation interaction causes jank, or timing differs between simulator and real hardware - systematic CAAnimation diagnosis with CATransaction patterns, frame rate awareness, and device-specific behavior

Network framework migration guides. Use when migrating from BSD sockets to NWConnection, NWConnection to NetworkConnection (iOS 26+), or URLSession StreamTask to NetworkConnection.

Use when debugging connection timeouts, TLS handshake failures, data not arriving, connection drops, performance issues, or proxy/VPN interference - systematic Network.framework diagnostics with production crisis defense

Reference — Comprehensive Network.framework guide covering NetworkConnection (iOS 26+), NWConnection (iOS 12-25), TLV framing, Coder protocol, NetworkListener, NetworkBrowser, Wi-Fi Aware discovery, and migration strategies

Use when you see memory warnings, 'retain cycle', app crashes from memory pressure, or when asking 'why is my app using so much memory', 'how do I find memory leaks', 'my deinit is never called', 'Instruments shows memory growth', 'app crashes after 10 minutes' - systematic memory leak detection and fixes for iOS/macOS

Use when writing UI tests, recording interactions, tests have race conditions, timing dependencies, inconsistent pass/fail behavior, or XCTest UI tests are flaky - covers Recording UI Automation (WWDC 2025), condition-based waiting, network conditioning, multi-factor testing, crash debugging, and accessibility-first testing patterns

Use when ANY beta tester reports a crash, ANY crash appears in Organizer or App Store Connect, crash logs need symbolication, app was killed without crash report, or you need to triage TestFlight feedback
