A pre-designed framework provides a standardized structure and specifications for creating application visuals for Apple’s mobile operating system. This framework typically includes guidelines on size, resolution, shape, and other visual attributes to ensure consistency across the platform. An example is a layered Photoshop or Sketch file containing properly sized and named artboards representing different icon sizes required by the system.
Its utility stems from its ability to streamline the design process and guarantee optimal visual presentation on various devices. It ensures application branding is consistently displayed, fostering user recognition and trust. Historically, the standardization of visual assets has improved application quality and reduced development time by providing a clear design target.
