iOS app design guidelines?

Hello APP developers,

I just signed up in to this forum and this is going to be my 1st post. I am a professional web designer and although very late but better late than never, so I have started to learn how to design iOS mobile apps.

Now while designing the visual interface of a app screen, let’s say a account registration page of a dating app…

I have the logo at the very top which is 40 pixels from the status bar. Now after the logo I gave a space of 100 pixels and start placing the labels and text boxes. The text boxes are at a margin gap of 25 pixels from the labels.

Now here is my Question:

All these margins and spacing, I am taking arbitrarily… Let’s say as per my wish… I want to say that I am not following any science or guidelines here. 

1. So is their any specific or strict iOS guidelines that I should follow ?

2. What guidelines should I follow so that my designs in Photoshop or Illustrator would be technically correct? I hope you can understand what I am trying to say.

I apologize if I am asking anything silly. Please provide as much suggestions you can give so that I can design technically correct designs so that a developer can’t say that is wrong and it should not be like this and I want it like that …

Thank you.

I’m going to conditionally approve your post so you can ask and respond to questions. Perhaps members of our community will respond to you. We are not a generic mobile development platform. There are other forums that are better suited to handle generic questions like this. I’m going to let this one go, but future questions should be related to using a Corona Labs product in some form or fashion.

Thanks
