Creating unique user experiences by offering them appealing designs has always been one of the key goals of this American multinational technology company.

Companies that have been involved in iOS app development have to follow strict guidelines as far as UI/UX design is concerned. We have researched about the different rules that need to be followed while designing an iOS app and have concluded 6 tips that would help you to design the user interface of an iOS app quickly.
Tip 1: Manage Content With Proper Layouts and Visuals
While working with the content, use larger items. It helps users to focus more and not get distracted by surroundings. Alignments make an app look organized and at the same time help user to scroll easily through the important information on a screen, which is full of clustered content. Moreover, every interactive element should have proper spacing to make it easier for people to interact. Hence, interactive visuals and layouts are one of the keys for a great UI/UX design in iOS app development.
Tip 2: Use Interactive UI elements For Easy Touch Controls
Interactive elements bring life to an app, so why not use it? Be it the color, location or icons, introducing interactivity will pique the interest of the users. For instance: using blue color in the app adds a unique appeal to an icon. A location map app with a blue icon for ‘Directions from here’ acts as a call-to-action button. On the other hand, app store makes use of button border in order to help the user make a clear distinction between purchasing the product and reading more about the same.
Tip 3: Legitimate Text Size For Clear View
A great typography is one of the keys for a great UI/UX design. If you are working with iOS 9 or later versions, then use ‘San Francisco’ font. It will give your readers a dynamic view of the text by providing wonderful reading experience. Other benefits of using this font are auto adjustments in letter spacing, specify different kinds of text styles and the availability of wide range of font sizes. You can download the San Francisco font from here.
Tip 4: Use High Resolution Pictures
Always use high-resolution pictures in the app or else images will appear blurry. To give you a brief idea about the measurements of the images and icons required in iOS app development.
Tip 5: Organize the Layout With Proper UI Kit
The iOS UI kit offers four UI elements – Bars, content views, temporary views and controls. A UI view is well equipped with controls and control views. It can determine when to draw onscreen and can easily detect the touch points of the user. Use the view controller in order to co-ordinate the displays of the number of views and create the functionality behind user interaction.
Tip 6: Align Properly With The Text And Images
Consider the visual elements intelligently and then align them with the content. For instance: use of drop shadows and gradients can sometimes become heavier and interfere with the content. In order to overcome this problem, you should take care of the content instead and let UI take a backseat. Use negative spaces in order to make the app look more distinctive.
