Taylor ArndtJust used a menu that required pressing Enter twice—once for the menu, again for the submenu. That’s frustrating for screen reader and keyboard users. Accessibility isn’t just compliance—it’s about real usability.

Taylor ArndtDesign your app like the screen isn’t visible. For blind users like me, the screen reader is the interface. When apps lack labels, have poor focus order, or ignore accessibility, they break fast. Ask yourself: Can someone use your app without seeing it? It’s not about perfection—it’s about intention. <a href="https://iosdev.space/tags/Accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Accessibility</a> <a href="https://iosdev.space/tags/InclusiveDesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#InclusiveDesign</a> <a href="https://iosdev.space/tags/BlindInTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BlindInTech</a> <a href="https://iosdev.space/tags/MobileApps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MobileApps</a> <a href="https://iosdev.space/tags/UX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#UX</a>

Taylor ArndtiOS devs: do you really need that custom control? I keep seeing custom sliders, buttons, and form fields in audits—often not accessible. Native UIKit and SwiftUI components support VoiceOver, manage focus, and evolve with iOS. So why reinvent the wheel?
