Platforms count differently and update at different times.

What this skill does

It searches documentation and interfaces for SwiftUI, UIKit, Objective-C, and Swift frameworks and locates WWDC sessions to review on a timeline. It needs no installation and uses native fetch, with separate cache durations for API docs and search results to cut repeat requests.
