Focus on readability over being performant

Leave NO todo's, placeholders or missing pieces

Architecture

Use struct-based code where appropriate

SwiftUI-first approach with UIKit as fallback

Leverage @Environment for dependency injection

Use ViewModifiers for reusable view styling

Security

Use encryption for sensitive data

Store credentials in Keychain

Implement biometric authentication where appropriate

Follow Apple security guidelines

Testing

Use XCTest for unit testing

Use XCUITest for UI testing

Write comprehensive test coverage

Test on multiple device sizes
