[Also submitted as FB20262774. Posting here in hopes of saving someone else from burning half a day chasing this down.] Dynamic scaling of an Image() in a Button(), incorrectly decreases when transitioning from XXX Large to AX 1 accessibility text sizes, instead of continuing to grow as expected. This occurs both on device and in the simulator, in iOS 18.6 and iOS 26. Repro Steps Create a project with sample code below Show the preview if not showing In Xcode Preview, click Canvas Device Settings and change Dynamic Type from XXX Large to AX 1 Sample Code struct ContentView: View { var body: some View { VStack(spacing: 30) { Text("Button Image Scaling Issue") .font(.system(size: 24, weight: .semibold)) Text("Switch dynamic type from **XXX Large** to **AX 1**. The **Button** icon shrinks while the **No Button** icon grows.") .font(.system(size: 14, weight: .regular)) TestView(title: "No Button", isButton: false) TestView(title: "Button", isButton: true) } .padding() } } struct TestView: View { let title: String let isButton: Bool var body: some View { VStack { Text(title) .font(.system(size: 16)) .foregroundColor(.secondary) if isButton { Button {} label: { Image(systemName: "divide") .font(.system(.largeTitle)) } .buttonStyle(.bordered) .frame(height: 50) } else { Image(systemName: "divide") .font(.system(.largeTitle)) .foregroundColor(.blue) .frame(height: 50) .background(Color.gray.opacity(0.2)) } } } } Expected Result Both the button and non-button images should continue to scale up proportionally when moving to larger accessibility text sizes. Actual Result When going from XXX Large to AX 1… Non-button image gets larger ✅ Button image gets smaller ❌ Screen Recording System Info Xcode Version 26.0 (17A321) iOS 26.0 and 18.6

[Also submitted as FB20213961] SwiftUI Button with a label: closure containing only an Image view has a smaller tap target than buttons created with a Label or the convenience initializer. The hit area shrinks to the image bounds instead of preserving the standard minimum tappable size. SCREEN RECORDING On a physical device, the difference is obvious—it’s easy to miss the button. Sometimes it even shows the button-tapped bounce animation but doesn’t trigger the action. SYSTEM INFO Xcode Version 26.0 (17A321) macOS 15.6.1 (24G90) iOS 26.0 (23A340) SAMPLE CODE The following snippet shows the difference in hit targets between the convenience initializer, a Label, and an Image (the latter two in a label: closure). // ✅ Hit target is entire button Button("Button 1", systemImage: "1.square.fill") { print("Button 1 tapped") } // ✅ Hit target is entire button Button { print("Button 2 tapped") } label: { Label("Button 2", systemImage: "2.square.fill") } // ❌ Hit target is smaller than button Button { print("Button 3 tapped") } label: { Image(systemName: "3.square.fill") }

Here is a simple view to demonstrate the issue struct ContentView: View { @State private var isPresented = false var body: some View { VStack { Button("Test") { isPresented = true } } .alert("Test", isPresented: $isPresented, actions: { Button("Delete All", role: .destructive) {} }, message: { Text("Are You Sure?") }) .padding() } }``` Which results in ![example alert]("https://developer.apple.com/forums/content/attachment/c6210120-d82e-4df5-a01a-fc5cb168e1bf" "title=Screenshot 2025-09-08 at 08.57.21.png;width=546;height=442") The destructive button is almost unreadable. WCAG score is 1.4, far below the minimum recommended 4.5. I found [this post](https://stackoverflow.com/q/66448869) on SO going back to Big Sur, but not on this forum. Any known workarounds (except for building my own dialogs, which I am trying to avoid)? Using confirmationDialog instead of alert does not make a difference.

I’m trying to customize the keyboard focus appearance in SwiftUI. In UIKit (see WWDC 2021 session Focus on iPad keyboard navigation), it’s possible to remove the default UIFocusHaloEffect and change a view’s appearance depending on whether it has focus or not. In SwiftUI I’ve tried the following: .focusable() // .focusable(true, interactions: .activate) .focusEffectDisabled() .focused($isFocused) However, I’m running into several issues: .focusable(true, interactions: .activate) causes an infinite loop, so keyboard navigation stops responding .focusEffectDisabled() doesn’t seem to remove the default focus effect on iOS Using @FocusState prevents Space from triggering the action when the view has keyboard focus My main questions: How can I reliably detect whether a SwiftUI view has keyboard focus? (Is there an alternative to FocusState that integrates better with keyboard navigation on iOS?) What’s the recommended way in SwiftUI to disable the default focus effect (the blue overlay) and replace it with a custom border? Any guidance or best practices would be greatly appreciated! Here's my sample code: import SwiftUI struct KeyboardFocusExample: View { var body: some View { // The ScrollView is required, otherwise the custom focus value resets to false after a few seconds. I also need it for my actual use case ScrollView { VStack { Text("First button") .keyboardFocus() .button { print("First button tapped") } Text("Second button") .keyboardFocus() .button { print("Second button tapped") } } } } } // MARK: - Focus Modifier struct KeyboardFocusModifier: ViewModifier { @FocusState private var isFocused: Bool func body(content: Content) -> some View { content .focusable() // ⚠️ Must come before .focused(), otherwise the FocusState won’t be recognized // .focusable(true, interactions: .activate) // ⚠️ This causes an infinite loop, so keyboard navigation no longer responds .focusEffectDisabled() // ⚠️ Has no effect on iOS .focused($isFocused) // Custom Halo effect .padding(4) .overlay( RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 18) .strokeBorder( isFocused ? .red : .clear, lineWidth: 2 ) ) .padding(-4) } } extension View { public func keyboardFocus() -> some View { modifier(KeyboardFocusModifier()) } } // MARK: - Button Modifier /// ⚠️ Using a Button view makes no difference struct ButtonModifier: ViewModifier { let action: () -> Void func body(content: Content) -> some View { content .contentShape(Rectangle()) .onTapGesture { action() } .accessibilityAction { action() } .accessibilityAddTraits(.isButton) .accessibilityElement(children: .combine) .accessibilityRespondsToUserInteraction() } } extension View { public func button(action: @escaping () -> Void) -> some View { modifier(ButtonModifier(action: action)) } }

Hi guys, I'm facing an issue with the native interface to add a card into the wallet - does someone have some ideas on how to fix/work around that? STEPS TO REPRODUCE: Disable VoiceOver (Settings → Accessibility → VoiceOver → Off). Connect and confirm that you can navigate other iOS interfaces using an external keyboard. In any app, present a PKAddPassesViewController with a valid .pkpass file. When the Wallet “Add Pass” sheet appears, attempt to navigate using only the external keyboard (Tab/Arrow/Enter). Observe that focus does not move to the Cancel or Add buttons, and no elements receive keyboard focus. EXPECTED RESULT: All interactive elements in PKAddPassesViewController (e.g., Cancel and Add) should be fully keyboard accessible without requiring VoiceOver. Users should be able to navigate, select, and complete actions using only a hardware keyboard. ACTUAL RESULT: Keyboard navigation is not possible. No elements receive focus. Users cannot activate Cancel or Add buttons using keyboard input. The only way to interact is by touch or enabling VoiceOver, which does not satisfy keyboard accessibility requirements. IMPACT: Violates WCAG 2.1 Success Criterion 2.1.1 (Keyboard Accessible). Prevents keyboard-only users (including users with motor disabilities) from adding passes to Wallet. Affects users of external keyboards who rely on tab/arrow navigation. Creates an inconsistent accessibility experience compared to other iOS system modals.

Hello, It's impossible to manage hit area for textfield and it's already too small by default (detected with Accessibility Inspector). I'm tried to force with modifier "frame(minHeight: xxx)", the component change the height but the hit area is still in same size. Have to tips to fix this issue?

Double-tap three fingers and drag to change zoom” should suppress “Three Finger to Drag”. Currently these gestures are triggered simultaneously, for no real reasons. I saw different behaviors for different environments, but none is desired. Current and desired behavior: This seems an issue so I filed a feedback.

Once Accessibility Nutrition Labels are evaluated and published, is there any location or format to keep data on the evaluated content? And how will the App Review process work for this new feature? I have not yet seen any apps in the App Store with this section published live despite it being available in the App Store Connect currently so I'm curious about the process on Apple's side. My team is still evaluating but plans to publish soon.

We added Accessibility Nurtition Label on App Store connect for our app https://apps.apple.com/us/app/mybell/id850549838 But it is not showing up on the App Store. It shows as published but not visible on App Store. What can be the reason?

accessibilityUserInputLabels is working fine with any view I tried this on. Meaning that the control can be toggled with the provided alternative names when using Voice Control. When setting this property on any UIBarButtonItem though, it seems Voice Control ignores the alternative names provided by setting accessibilityUserInputLabels. For comparison, accessibilityLabel works perfectly when set on UIBarButtonItem. Is anyone facing the same issue? Using Xcode 16.0 (16A242) on iOS 18

I am developing an app that requires user to turn on overlay permissions (with a prompt provided to the user) as well as accesibility settings. The goal is to display a floating button on screen, which reads screen content only when user taps on that button. It is not a persistant overlay because user can make floating button disappear by turning it off inside the app. I want to know if apple app store policies will be ok with this kind of feature and if there is anything particular I need to comply with to enable my app in the app store?

I am testing the accessibility feature available in the Settings app called "Speak Screen". The help text in the Setting app states that swiping down with two fingers will cause the screen content to be spoken. However, I've been unable to get this feature to work. Every time I try the double finger swipe down, it behaves the same as the single finger swipe down gesture. Usually this manifests as making scroll views bounce. I've tried toggling the feature on and off, turning off Reachability, and rebooting my phone, but I can't get the speak screen gesture to work. If I access the speak screen feature from the "Speech Controller" button, then the screens content is spoken, as expected, so I know the feature is enabled. It's just the gesture that doesn't work. Is there something else I need to do to get this gesture to work? I don't want to tell my users to turn this feature on if I can't verify that the gesture will work with my app.

I have users who need to be able to hear the content of SwiftUI Text views. I have specified the .textSelection(.enabled) modifier for the text views. Adding this modifier causes a "copy" option to appear on long press, but it doesn't enable the visible selection of text, nor does it provide the "Speak" menu item that UIKit allows on text selection. Is the "Speak Selection" accessibility feature broken for SwiftUI Text views? I've found that there's another accessibility feature that does work (enabling the Speech Controller button for "Speak Screen"). Do I need to tell my users that Apple is deprecating the "Speak Selection" accessibility feature, and that they need to use the Speech Controller instead? Or is there something else I can do to my SwiftUI to get that feature to work?

Hi, I want to detect if there is a fullscreen window on each screen. _AXUIElementGetWindow and kAXFullscreenAttribute methods work, but I have to be in a non-sandbox environment to use them. Is there any other way that also works? I don't think it's enough to judge if it's fullscreen by comparing the window size to the screen size, since it doesn't work on MacBook with notch, or the menu bar is set to 'auto-hide'. Thanks.

I'm not seeing the Accessibility or Attributes Inspectors in Xcode 26. Were these features removed? Xcode 16 Xcode 26

How can I force VoiceOver to read parentheses for math expressions like this: Text("(2+3)×4") // VoiceOver: Two plus three, times four I’m looking for a way to have VoiceOver announce parentheses (e.g. “left paren”, “right paren”) without relying on NumberFormatter.Style.spellOut or .speechAlwaysIncludesPunctuation(), as both have drawbacks. Using .spellOut breaks braille output and Rotor › Characters menu by turning numbers and symbols into words. And .speechAlwaysIncludesPunctuation() makes VoiceOver overly verbose—for example, it reads “21” as “twenty hyphen one.” Is there a better way to selectively announce specific punctuation like parentheses while keeping numbers and symbols intact for braille and Rotor use?

Hello! I'm adding VoiceOver support for my app, but I'm having an issue where my accessibility value is not being spoken. I have made a helper class that creates an NSString from a double and converts it to the user's region currency. CurrencyFormatter.m + (NSString *) localizedCurrencyStringFromDouble: (double) value { NSNumberFormatter *formatter = [[NSNumberFormatter alloc] init]; formatter.numberStyle = NSNumberFormatterCurrencyStyle; formatter.locale = [NSLocale currentLocale]; NSString *currencyString = [formatter stringFromNumber: @(value)]; [formatter release]; return currencyString; } View Contoller self.checkTotalLabel.accessibilityLabel = NSLocalizedString(@"Total Amount", @"Accessibility Label for Total"); self.checkTotalLabel.accessibilityValue = [CurrencyFormatter localizedCurrencyStringFromDouble: total]; I'm confused on whether the value should go into the accessibility label or not. When the currency is just USD and the language is English, it's a simple fix. But when the currency needs to be converted, I'm not sure where to go from here. If anyone has any guidance, it would help me a lot! Thank you!

I'm developing a calculator app and working to ensure a great experience for both VoiceOver and Braille display users. For expressions like (2+3)×5, I need two different accessibility outputs: VoiceOver (spoken): A descriptive string like “left paren two plus three right paren times five,” provided via .accessibilityValue. I'm using a custom spellOut function since VoiceOver doesn't announce parentheses—which are kind of important when doing math! Braille (symbolic): The literal math string (2+3)×5, provided using .accessibilityCustomContent("", ...), with an empty label so it’s not spoken aloud. The issue: I don’t have access to a Braille display device and Xcode’s Accessibility Inspector doesn’t seem to show the custom content. Is there any way to confirm that custom Braille content is being set correctly in Simulator or with other tools? Or…is there a "math mode" in VoiceOver that forces it to announce parentheses? Any advice or workarounds would be much appreciated! Thanks, Uhl

I am building a language learning app for a unlisted primary language. My plan is to go with english. Any other suggestions or heads up? Check screenshot. Its unfortunate that i have to tag a language learning app incorrectly and a tag for that language probably does not exist across the apple system.

Amogst the two languages my app would have lets say 10% and 90%. I am launching an app for a unlisted Primary Language. I consider whatever is inside the app as the primary and that wont be English. The secondary language
