Modernizes UIKit apps for multi-window environments by replacing legacy shared-state APIs with context-appropriate modern alternatives. This includes references to mainScreen, interfaceOrientation, application and scene lifecycle, as well as safe area inset updates.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# UIKit App Modernization Skill ## Purpose Modernize UIKit apps to behave correctly on modern iOS by: - Eliminating references to legacy shared-state APIs - Migrating from application lifecycle to scene lifecycle - Supporting dynamic scene sizing and multi-window environments ## Scope This skill performs **specific, targeted modernizations** in both **Swift and Objective-C** codebases: - Replace legacy shared-state APIs with context-appropriate modern APIs - Migrate to scene-based lifecycle - Update apps to support a resizable user interface by removing usage of: - main screen (`UIScreen.mainScreen`, `UIScreen.main`) - interface orientation (`interfaceOrientation`) - assumptions of symmetric safe areas (`safeAreaLayoutGuide`, `safeAreaInsets`) ## Core Principles 1. **Closest to consumer** — Prefer information nearest the point of use (e.g., view's trait collection over window's). …

How to install
mdr add tartinerlabs/skills/uikit-app-modernization@sha256:3eaffffb97461381The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260713.ba4f7f8, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
