Which iOS versions are supported by this EnergyKit skill?

This skill specifically targets iOS 26+ and iPadOS 26+ using Swift 6.3 and modern Apple development practices.

What is the primary purpose of EnergyKit in iOS?

EnergyKit is an Apple framework introduced in iOS 26 that allows apps to access grid electricity forecasts and manage device load events to optimize energy usage for cost and environmental impact.

How does this skill help with EV charging applications?

It provides standardized implementation patterns for querying the best time windows to charge and submitting session telemetry back to the system using the ElectricVehicleLoadEvent API.

Can I use this skill to track historical energy usage?

Yes, the skill covers the ElectricityInsightService, which allows you to query historical records for energy and runtime data broken down by grid cleanliness and tariff levels.

Does EnergyKit require special entitlements?

Yes, implementation requires the 'com.apple.developer.energykit' entitlement to be added to your app's entitlements file for the API calls to function.

Mobile Development

Integrates Apple's EnergyKit framework to optimize grid electricity usage through real-time forecasts and load event management.

This skill provides specialized guidance for implementing Apple's EnergyKit framework in iOS applications. It enables developers to query grid electricity forecasts to identify optimal windows for power consumption, manage physical 'Energy Venues', and submit telemetry for high-load devices like EV chargers and HVAC systems. By following these patterns, developers can build smart home apps and energy dashboards that help users shift usage to periods when electricity is cleaner or more cost-effective, while maintaining detailed historical insights.
