Haptics & Audio Feedback
Comprehensive guide to implementing haptic feedback on iOS. Every Apple Design Award winner uses excellent haptic feedback - Camera, Maps, Weather all use haptics masterfully to create delightful, responsive experiences.
Overview
Haptic feedback provides tactile confirmation of user actions and system events. When designed thoughtfully using the Causality-Harmony-Utility framework, axiom-haptics transform interfaces from functional to delightful.
This skill covers both simple haptics (UIFeedbackGenerator) and advanced custom patterns (Core Haptics), with real-world examples and audio-haptic synchronization techniques.
When to Use This Skill
- Adding haptic feedback to user interactions
- Choosing between UIFeedbackGenerator and Core Haptics
- Designing audio-haptic experiences that feel unified
- Creating custom haptic patterns with AHAP files
- Synchronizing haptics with animations and audio
- Debugging haptic issues (simulator vs device)
- Optimizing haptic performance and battery impact
