Mobile App Design for iOS-exporting

I just finished the course on Mobile App Design for iOs in which Sarah created a diary app. In the end, she only exported the icons. I am wondering if other elements like the circles, buttons, and colored nav bars would need to be exported as well? Or is it enough to give the color to the developer and they can create it since it is just a flat simple shape?

I would always try to create an asset vs. relaying on iOS to draw it. usually drawing is costly on the processor and iOS can probably have an easier time rendering a png. (ie if you have lot of custom items) But if you are not using custom navigation bars/buttons, etc, then you probably dont need to create an asset.
