Any developer aiming for a global audience needs to cover a series of requisites for their apps
and one of them is to make them accessible. Just having an app in the App Store is not enough
for it to be a global success anymore. More than that it is arguably our duty as developers to
create inclusive apps that anyone can use. Apple provides us with excellent tools for creating
accessible apps. However many developers just don't know about them or think they're difficult
to us. This concise guide offers a focused look at breaking those myths and proving that
creating accessible apps is very easy and that it's just as easy to embed accessibility into
the development process of your team. You'll have a look at the tools iOS provides. Some like
zoom button shapes etc. come integrated in the operating system. Others like VoiceOver
Larger Accessibility Sizes with Dynamic Types and Smart Inverted Colours will need extra work
to support appropriately. Then go from the basics of giving meaningful accessibility labels to
UI components so VoiceOver can read them to making your UI support extremely large font sizes
so anyone can read our app. And you'll find out how to build accessible apps with real world
examples. Accessibility is the right thing to do and will help your app find wider success.
