platform-conventions

separate

Design to iOS and Android conventions — what each OS mandates, where they diverge, and when to unify. Use when shipping native apps. For breakpoint adaptation use `responsive-design`; for matching competitor patterns use `jakobs-law` (interaction-design).

When to use

• Designing to iOS and Android conventions
• Identifying platform-mandated UI patterns
• Mapping differences between iOS and Android
• Deciding when to follow each platform
• Deciding when a unified cross-platform design is appropriate
• Shipping native apps

When not to use

• Breakpoint adaptation
• Matching competitor patterns
