completely broke the accessibility for the blind, This is outrageous!

The app was wonderful and accessible, up until I’ve updated it a week ago! obviously, the "what's new" section doesn't say anything about it.... it’s rhetorical question, but how many accessibility engineers do you have on your team? How would you feel if you updated your favorite app just to know that not a single button is usable. For me ,s a totally blind Voiceover user,, it’s just a blank screen!! and it's been a week already....
