Increasing Your App's Accessibility to Optimize It for All Users
summary
The talk explains how to make an iOS app accessible and compliant with the EU Accessibility Act (effective 28 June 2025) using Swift and Xcode. It covers implementing Dynamic Type (up to 300%), Dark Mode via color assets, and VoiceOver support by adding accessibility modifiers (label, value, hint, traits), plus using Xcode Previews and Home screen shortcuts to test text size, color scheme and VoiceOver. It also cites user statistics for visual impairment, photophobia and dyslexia to justify accessibility efforts.
