Inclusive and Accessible App Development
summary
Defines accessibility vs inclusion, cites 15% of the world as affected, and gives concrete wins: Apple VoiceOver support plus an implemented rotor system in Xcode so blind programmers jump method-to-method instead of reading character-by-character, and Microsoft’s adaptive controller that makes play equal. Shows developer tools to use now: Accessibility Inspector, Dynamic Type, Switch Control, Network framework and Network Link Conditioner, accessibility identifiers for UI tests, and recommends manual plus automated audits to prevent regressions.
