Accessibility in the context of SwiftUI, as presented at WWDC, refers to the features and tools provided by SwiftUI to make apps usable by everyone, including people with disabilities. SwiftUI includes built-in accessibility support for its views and provides APIs to refine and enhance the accessibility of your app.
Here are some key points about accessibility in SwiftUI:
-
Accessibility Elements: These are the fundamental building blocks that accessibility technologies like VoiceOver, Voice Control, and Switch Control use to present and interact with content in your app. An accessibility element represents one or more views and provides attributes to describe the contents of a view and actions for interactivity, such as taps or complex gestures (Catch up on accessibility in SwiftUI).
-
Modifiers for Customization: SwiftUI allows you to use modifiers to customize the accessibility of your views. You can add attributes like labels or traits to a view and expose actions for interactivity. These modifiers also allow you to combine views into a single element to improve navigation (Catch up on accessibility in SwiftUI).
-
Enhanced Interactions: SwiftUI provides tools to build accessible rich interactions, from simple taps to drag and drop. This includes combining multiple elements into a single accessible element to simplify navigation and improve the user experience (Catch up on accessibility in SwiftUI).
-
VoiceOver and Other Technologies: Using technologies like VoiceOver can help you understand where you can improve the accessibility of your app. SwiftUI's built-in accessibility features ensure that content is navigable and interactive for users relying on these technologies (Catch up on accessibility in SwiftUI).
For a comprehensive overview of the new accessibility features in SwiftUI, you can refer to the session Catch up on accessibility in SwiftUI.
Catch up on accessibility in SwiftUI
SwiftUI makes it easy to build amazing experiences that are accessible to everyone. We’ll discover how assistive technologies understand and navigate your app through the rich accessibility elements provided by SwiftUI. We’ll also discuss how you can further customize these experiences by providing more information about your app’s content and interactions by using accessibility modifiers.
