Make Your Mobile Apps Accessible to All
summary
Shows concrete iOS and Android fixes: use UIAccessibility traits, set isAccessibilityElement and accessibilityLabel, build dynamic elements with accessibility frames and convertRect, and post layout or screen-change notifications so VoiceOver updates. On Android set contentDescription, make views focusable, test with TalkBack explore-by-touch, or write a third-party accessibility service (declare canRetrieveWindowContent in the XML, walk AccessibilityNodeInfo, performAction, run TTS). Includes working demos that augment an existing app and a Pebble-style notification flow.
