The premise
AI coding assistants underperform on mobile by default — provide platform conventions explicitly to fix it.
What AI does well here
- Generate SwiftUI or Jetpack Compose scaffolds from a Figma description.
- Translate a network layer between Swift and Kotlin idioms.
- Suggest accessibility identifiers for UI tests.
What AI cannot do
- Reason about App Store or Play Store review nuances reliably.
- Replicate exact behavior of platform-specific lifecycle quirks.
