IosImmediateActionAcknowledgment [rule] v1.0.0

Acknowledge every user tap immediately with a visible state change — disable the button, show an inline spinner, or change label text — even while the underlying operation is still running.

Applies To

any async operation triggered by a user tap in an iOS app (network request, file operation, computation)

Examples

• Submit button: disable + show ProgressView as a label overlay immediately on tap; restore on completion or error.
• Follow button: instantly toggle to 'Following' state optimistically; revert if the network call fails.
• Verify: tap an action button on a slow connection; UI must respond immediately rather than appearing frozen.

Rationale

An unchanged interface after a tap makes users tap repeatedly (triggering duplicate requests) or assume the app is broken. Immediate feedback confirms the action was received and sets the correct expectation for load time.

Applies To

any async operation triggered by a user tap in an iOS app (network request, file operation, computation)
