// theme.extend.screens
screens: {
  /**
   * Matches devices where the primary pointing device is capable of
   * hovering conveniently. Usage: main-hover:group-hover:bg-red-500 See:
   * https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@media/hover
   *
   * On iOS devices, buttons inside a .group element that contains
   * descendent elements with `group-hover:` CSS rules require two taps to
   * click. As a workaround, we disable these rules on devices that cannot
   * conveniently hover using `main-hover:`.
