Accessibility design for Mac Catalyst

4:11 - Ensuring selection automatically triggers when focus moves to a different cell

myTableView.selectionFollowsFocus = true

6:01 - Creating a keyboard shortcut

extension AppDelegate {
  override func buildMenu(with builder: UIMenuBuilder) {
    super.buildMenu(with: builder)
    let shareCommand = UIKeyCommand(title: NSLocalizedString("Share", comment: ""),
                                    action: #selector(Self.handleShareMenuAction),
                                    input: "I",
                                    modifierFlags: [.command])
    let shareMenu = UIMenu(title: "",
                           identifier: UIMenu.Identifier("com.example.apple-samplecode.RoastedBeans.share"),
                           options: .displayInline,
                           children: [shareCommand])
    builder.insertChild(shareMenu, atEndOfMenu: .edit)
  }
  
  @objc func handleShareMenuAction() {
  }
}

7:20 - Responding to raw key codes

extension MyViewController {
  override func pressesBegan(_ presses: Set<UIPress>, with event: UIPressesEvent?) {
    switch presses.first?.key?.keyCode {
    case .keyboardLeftGUI:
      // Handle command key pressed
    case .keyboardB:
      // Handle B key pressed
    default:
    }
  }
}

15:45 - Adding accessibility labels to containers, such as UITableView and UICollectionView

tableView.accessibilityLabel = NSLocalizedString("Coffee list", comment: "")

15:50 - Making great accessibility labels that include state

extension RBListViewController {
    
    override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
        let data = tableData[indexPath.row]
        let label = NSLocalizedString("Coffee list", comment: "")
        let selectedLabel = NSLocalizedString("%@ selected", comment: "")
        tableView.accessibilityLabel = label + ", " + String(format: selectedLabel, data.coffee.brand)
    }

}

16:45 - Adding accessibility containers to improve the navigation experience

let stackView = UIStackView()
stackView.axis = .vertical
stackView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false

let locationsAvailable = viewModel.locationsAvailable

let titleLabel = UILabel()
titleLabel.font = UIFont.preferredFont(forTextStyle: .body).bold()
titleLabel.text = NSLocalizedString("Availability: ", comment: "")
stackView.addArrangedSubview(titleLabel)

for location in locationsAvailable {
  let label = UILabel()
  label.font = UIFont.preferredFont(forTextStyle: .body)
  label.text = "• " + location
  label.accessibilityLabel = location
  stackView.addArrangedSubview(label)
}

stackView.accessibilityLabel = String(format: NSLocalizedString("Available at %@ locations", comment: ""), String(locationsAvailable.count))
stackView.accessibilityContainerType = .semanticGroup
