Yes You Can! Improving Accessibility
summary
An Android team improved accessibility for a paid app (87 paid, 612 total members) by prioritizing TalkBack and Switch Access support, fixing Android 14 200% text-scaling issues, and adopting incremental releases with QA on edge OS versions. They used Accessibility Scanner, ADB and volume-button shortcuts for testing, and now require before-and-after screen recordings in pull requests so reviewers can see behavior; many fixes were small, repeatable, and included in releases.
