Cross-Domain Routing
Camera + permissions (camera access denied, Info.plist missing):
- Camera code → stay here (camera-capture)
- Privacy manifest / Info.plist → invoke axiom-integration (privacy-ux reference)
- Build/entitlement errors → invoke axiom-build
ShazamKit + microphone permissions:
- Microphone NSMicrophoneUsageDescription → invoke axiom-integration (privacy-ux reference)
- ShazamKit API and matching → stay here (shazamkit)
Now Playing + background audio:
- Now Playing metadata/controls → stay here (now-playing)
- Background audio mode / BGTaskScheduler → invoke axiom-integration (background-processing reference)
Speech-to-text + audio capture (transcribing mic or asset audio):
SpeechAnalyzer/SpeechTranscriber, the ~2-simultaneous-analyzer cap, theOS27input providers → invoke axiom-ai (skills/ios-ml.md)- Audio session category/mode,
AVCaptureSessionwiring → stay here (avfoundation-ref, camera-capture) - The trap:
CaptureInputSequenceProvider.providerWithSession(...)(OS27) automatically reconfigures your app's defaultAVAudioSession. If this suite's audio-session setup "randomly breaks" after transcription is added, that's the cause — useprovider(from:in:)and add itscaptureAudioDataOutputto your own session.
Photo library + privacy:
- Photo picker (PHPicker, PhotosPicker) → stay here (photo-library) — no permissions needed
- Full PHPhotoLibrary access → stay here (photo-library-ref) — limited access model
- Privacy manifest for photo usage → invoke axiom-integration (privacy-ux reference)
DockKit + camera / custom inference:
- DockKit stand control, framing, motor, tracking states → stay here (dockkit)
- Underlying AVCaptureSession setup → stay here (camera-capture)
- Custom Vision / Core ML inference feeding observations → invoke axiom-vision
- Camera permission (NSCameraUsageDescription) → invoke axiom-integration (privacy-ux reference)
MediaIntelligence + Vision (faces, image analysis):
- Group faces into people across a library, video highlights / key frames → stay here (media-intelligence) — clustering identities + on-device video moment detection
- Detect where a face is in one image (bounding box, landmarks), OCR, segmentation → invoke axiom-vision — per-image detection, a different problem
- System Photos "People" album → that album is system-owned (PhotoKit); MediaIntelligence builds your own index over assets you manage → stay here (photo-library for the asset access)
Anti-Rationalization
| Thought | Reality |
|---|---|
| "Camera capture is just AVCaptureSession setup" | Camera has interruption handlers, rotation, and threading requirements. |
| "Camera launch is fast enough if I startRunning() early" | Output initialization dominates launch; iOS 26 deferred start halves time-to-preview. |
| "I'll add haptics with a simple API call" | Haptic design has patterns for each interaction type matching HIG. |
| "ShazamKit is just SHSession + a delegate" | iOS 17+ has SHManagedSession which eliminates all AVAudioEngine boilerplate. |
| "Now Playing info is just setting metadata" | Remote commands, artwork handling, and state sync have 15+ gotchas. |
| "I'll use UIImagePickerController for photos" | PHPicker/PhotosPicker are the modern API — no permissions required. |
| "DockKit is just pairing a stand" | Custom control needs system tracking disabled, handles inverted dock states, and two different coordinate origins. |
| "Grouping faces is just Vision face detection" | Vision detects faces in one image; MediaIntelligence clusters them into persistent people (entities) across a whole library, with its own working directory and state. |
| "Casting to Chromecast means bundling the Google Cast SDK" | On iOS 27, AVSystemRouting exposes non-AirPlay routes as system routes — you adopt one Apple API (observe events, start a session, drive playbackControl) instead of a per-vendor SDK. Likely EU-gated/beta — gate and keep a fallback. |
| "I'll sync SharePlay playback by broadcasting the current time over the messenger" | The messenger has no clock. AVDelegatingPlaybackCoordinatorPlayCommand.hostClockTime gives you an absolute CMClockGetHostTimeClock() start time; hand-rolling reinvents startup barriers, seek ordering, stalls, and interruptions badly. |
| "The playback coordinator handles interruptions for me" | Only AVPlayerPlaybackCoordinator does. AVDelegatingPlaybackCoordinator adds no automatic suspensions — a custom engine begins and ends every one, and a suspension never ended hangs the whole group. |
| "ScreenCaptureKit on iPad works like the Mac (enumerate displays/windows)" | On iOS/iPadOS SCShareableContent and all SCContentFilter initializers are macOS-only — you get a filter ONLY from the system SCContentSharingPicker. New on iOS/iPadOS/tvOS/visionOS 27. Also not ImageRenderer (that snapshots your own SwiftUI view). |
