The Human Interface Guidelines (HIG) are a set of recommendations provided by Apple to help developers create apps that are intuitive and consistent across Apple platforms. In the context of the WWDC sessions, the guidelines are referenced in the session titled "Design advanced games for Apple platforms" (wwdc2024-10085). This session discusses best practices for designing game interfaces that are adaptable and legible across different Apple devices, emphasizing the importance of testing on real devices to ensure usability.
For more detailed recommendations on input design, the session suggests checking out the game controls section in the Human Interface Guidelines. This can help developers create control schemes that leverage the benefits of touchscreens and other input methods available on Apple devices.
If you are interested in learning more about the technical details of bringing games to Apple platforms, the session also recommends checking out "Port advanced games to Apple platforms."
