The Journey to Accessible Apps with .NET MAUI
summary
Demo shows a fresh File → New .NET MAUI app already exposing semantic properties (Description, Hint, HeadingLevel) and the semantic screen reader.announce API that actually reads updates; TalkBack on Android reads labels, images and a label-with-TapGesture as a button. Community Toolkit offers SemanticOrderView for custom read order. Handlers let MAUI call platform APIs (example: set Windows TabFocusNavigation to Cycle) and Accessibility Insights plus vendor validation find and fix real issues.
