Apple's WWDC sessions provide several accessibility tips, particularly focusing on SwiftUI and Dynamic Type. Here are some key points:
-
SwiftUI Accessibility:
- SwiftUI provides built-in accessibility support for views, making it easier to create accessible apps. It automatically creates accessibility elements, which are essential for technologies like VoiceOver and Switch Control to interact with app content.
- Developers can refine accessibility by providing additional information to these technologies, ensuring that dynamic content, such as hoverable views, is accessible.
- The session "Catch up on accessibility in SwiftUI" discusses how to make rich interactions accessible, from simple taps to complex gestures. It also covers how to use accessibility elements to improve navigation and interaction within apps. For more details, you can watch the session starting from the Fundamentals chapter.
-
Dynamic Type:
- Dynamic Type allows users to adjust text size across the system and apps, enhancing readability. Supporting Dynamic Type is crucial as it caters to users' preferences and needs for different text sizes.
- The session "Get started with Dynamic Type" emphasizes testing apps with larger text sizes and integrating accessibility audits into UI tests to ensure a great readability experience. You can learn more about this in the Scaled text chapter.
-
visionOS Accessibility:
- The session "Design interactive experiences for visionOS" highlights accessibility features like closed captioning, VoiceOver navigation, and audio descriptions. These features are essential for making experiences accessible to a broader audience.
These sessions provide valuable insights into making apps more accessible, ensuring that all users can enjoy and interact with the content effectively.
Design interactive experiences for visionOS
Learn how you can design a compelling interactive narrative experience for Apple Vision Pro from the designers of Encounter Dinosaurs. Discover how these types of experiences differ from existing apps, media, and games, and explore how to design narratives that bring audiences into new worlds. Find out how you can create stories that adapt to any space and size, provide multiple levels of interaction to make them accessible to all, and use animation, spatial audio, and custom gestures to further immerse people in your experience.
Get started with Dynamic Type
Dynamic Type lets people choose their preferred text size across the system and all of their apps. To help you get started supporting Dynamic Type, we’ll cover the fundamentals: How it works, how to find issues with scaling text in your app, and how to take practical steps using SwiftUI and UIKit to create a great Dynamic Type experience. We’ll also show how you can best use the Large Content Viewer to make navigation controls accessible to everyone.
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.
