Learn how to build accessible iOS apps by seeing the same component done right and done wrong, side by side. Accessibility Techniques is a working reference of 89 SwiftUI techniques. Every one ships a good and a bad example you can test yourself with VoiceOver turned on, so you hear the difference a proper accessibility label makes and what breaks when focus is not managed. Each technique maps to the WCAG 2.2 success criteria it satisfies. What's inside • 89 techniques in a searchable, alphabetical index • Good and bad examples side by side, each with a Details note explaining exactly why it passes or fails • Coverage of VoiceOver, Voice Control, Dynamic Type, Dark Mode, Reduce Motion, Increase Contrast, Smart Invert, and more • Written documentation for every technique, linked to the relevant WCAG criteria and Apple's developer docs • A companion watchOS app Who it's for Developers, designers, and QA who need to settle a question quickly, verify a real VoiceOver announcement before shipping, or show a teammate why a pattern fails. Open source The full SwiftUI source is on GitHub, so you can read how each example is built and copy what you need.
