Question: How do I add a custom VoiceOver accessibility Label or Hint to an App Icon Badge Number? For example , when the iOS Setting Accessibility > VoiceOver is turned On , VoiceOver reads aloud items touched on screen.

Mail icon, VoiceOver says: "Mail. 1 unread message . Double tap to open." But , for the project I am working on, the VoiceOver read out is generic and not entirely helpful: My App icon, VoiceOver says: "My App. 123 new items

I've been going through our code base and setting the accessibilityIdentifier property on all of our buttons and text fields so that I can access them using UIAutomation. While doing this, I came across some code that was already in place. [_goodButton setAccessibilityLabel:@"off"]; I can't find any documentation on what the differences are between these two methods.

I'm trying to use the Z gesture to dismiss a UIAlertController. I have a very simple app. It has a single view with 1 button. Tapping the button presents an alert. I have implemented - (BOOL)accessibilityPerformEscape { NSLog(@"Z gesture"); return YES; } With VoiceOver on, scrubbing the screen prints out "Z gesture," but when I press the button and the alert is visible, scrubbing the screen does nothing, the method is not called and nothing is printed. What do I have to do to get this to function while the alert is on screen? Thanks... To get the desired result on your alert view thanks to the

How do I make a CALayer accessible? Specifically, I want the layer to be able to change its label on the fly, since it can change at any time. The official documentation's sample code does not really allow for this. The following assumes that you have a superview whose layers are all of class AccessableLayer , but if you have a more complex layout this scheme can be modified to handle that. In order to make a CALayer accessible, you need a parent view that implements the UIAccessibilityContainer methods. Here is one suggested way to do this. First, have each layer own its

So i have a UICollectionView with a set of UICollectionViewCells displayed using a custom UILayout. I've configured the UILayout to lay out all the UICollectionViewCells almost exactly the same as how they are laid out in the photos app on ios. The problem is, it seems when voice over is turned on, and the user is traversing through the UICollectionViewCells using swipe, when the user gets to the last visible cell on the page, and tries to swipe forward to the next cell, it simply stops. I know that in UITableView the cells will just keep moving forward, and the table view will scroll down
