From Zero to Accessible in 30 minutes
summary
Claims that a rough conference app goes from unusable to basically accessible in 30 minutes using Xcode’s Accessibility Inspector. Steps: fix color contrast to WCAG 4.5:1, enable Dynamic Type and adapt HStack→VStack, set accessibilityHidden on decorative images, add concise accessibilityLabel values, group content with accessibilityElement(children: .ignore) and add custom accessibilityAction, support both orientations, and ensure touch targets are ≥44x44. Outcome: audits drop warnings, UI becomes readable and operable at large text sizes, and the app reaches a basic legal-compliance baseline.
