Apple HIG guidance for status and progress UI components including progress indicators, status bars, and activity rings. Use this skill when asked about: "progress indicator", "progress bar", "loading spinner", "status bar", "activity ring", "progress display", determinate vs indeterminate progress, loading states, or fitness tracking rings. Also use when the user says "how do I show loading state," "should I use a spinner or progress bar," "what goes in the status bar," or asks about activity indicators. Cross-references: hig-components-system for widgets and complications, hig-inputs for gesture-driven progress controls, hig-technologies for HealthKit and activity ring data integration.

# Apple HIG: Status Components Check for `.claude/apple-design-context.md` before asking questions. Use existing context and only ask for information not already covered. ## Key Principles ### Progress Indicators 1. **Show progress for operations longer than a second or two.** 2. **Determinate when duration/percentage is known.** A filling progress bar gives users a clear sense of remaining work. Use for downloads, uploads, or any measurable process. 3. **Indeterminate when duration is unknown.** A spinner communicates work is happening without promising a timeframe. Use for unpredictable network requests. 4. **Prefer progress bars over spinners.** Determinate progress feels faster and more trustworthy. 5. **Place indicators where content will appear.** Inline progress near the content area, not modal or distant. 6. **Don't stack multiple indicators.** Aggregate simultaneous operations into one representation or show the most relevant. ### Status Bars 7. **Don't hide the status bar without good reason.** Reserve hiding for immersive experiences (full-screen media, games, AR). 8. **Match status bar style to your content.** Light or dark for adequate contrast. 9. **Respect safe areas.** No interactive content behind the status bar. 10. **Restore promptly** when exiting immersive contexts. ### Activity Rings 11. **Activity rings are for Move, Exercise, and Stand goals.** Don't repurpose the ring metaphor for unrelated data. 12. **Respect ring color conventions.*
