When making a text call, the voice input is grayed out and cannot be used, is there a solution?

The only way I found to make the accessibility focus work correctly in the detent in a fullscreen cover is to apply the focus manually. The issue is in the ContentView the grabber works while in the fullscreen it does not. Is there something I am missing or is this a bug. I also don't understand why I need to apply focus in the fullscreen cover while in the ContentView I do not.
struct ContentView: View {
@State private var buttonClicked = false
@State private var bottomSheetShowing = false
var body: some View {
NavigationView {
VStack {
Button(action: {
buttonClicked = true
}, label: {
Text("First Page Button")
.padding()
.background(Color.blue)
.foregroundColor(.white)
.cornerRadius(8)
})
.accessibilityLabel("First Page Button")
FullscreenView2()
}
.navigationTitle("Welcome")
.fullScreenCover(isPresented: $buttonClicked) {
FullscreenView(buttonClicked: $buttonClicked, bottomSheetShowing: $bottomSheetShowing)
}
}
}
}
struct FullscreenView: View {
@Binding var buttonClicked: Bool
@Binding var bottomSheetShowing: Bool
var body: some View {
NavigationView {
VStack {
Button(action: {
bottomSheetShowing = true
}, label: {
Text("Show Bottom Sheet")
.padding()

})
}
.accessibilityHidden(bottomSheetShowing)

.toolbar {
ToolbarItem(placement: .navigationBarLeading) {
Button(action: {
buttonClicked = false
}, label: {
Text("Close")
})
.accessibilityLabel("Close Fullscreen View Button")
}
}
.accessibilityHidden(bottomSheetShowing)
.onChange(of: bottomSheetShowing, perform: { _ in })
.sheet(isPresented: $bottomSheetShowing) {
if #available(iOS 16.0, *) {
BottomSheetView(bottomSheetShowing: $bottomSheetShowing)
.presentationDetents([.medium, .large])
} else {
BottomSheetView(bottomSheetShowing: $bottomSheetShowing)
}
}
}
}
}
struct FullscreenView2: View {
@State var bottomSheetShowing = false
var body: some View {
VStack {

bottomSheetShowing = true

var body: some View {
VStack(spacing: 20) {
Text("Bottom Sheet")

Color(UIColor.systemBackground)
.edgesIgnoringSafeArea(.all)
)
.accessibilityAddTraits(.isModal) // Indicates that this view is a modal

Hello,
I am a student studying accessibility.
I aim to analyze the smartphone usage patterns of visually impaired individuals.
Therefore, I would like to log the VoiceOver usage records of visually impaired iPhone users.
Is there a way to output VoiceOver logs, similar to the AccessibilityService API on Android?
Thank you in advance for your responses.
I have added multipe bank accounts in my apple connect store but thier status is Not in Use. Whats wrong here.

Dear developer team,
After updating to iOS 18.3.1 I noticed the font in the Notes app became too small to read comfortably, and I have already got poor eyesight.
There is no way to increase the font size. When I select my preferred text size through Accessibility settings, it only changes the size of headings in the Notes app but the text remains too small in the note itself. I’m using the IPhone 13.
I googled the issue and seems like other users across the Internet are also unhappy about the lack of ability to change the text size in Notes to suit their comfortable levels.
I hope that this issue will be addressed by developers in the next version of the iOS because the reading size in the standard app can affect health for the tired and diminished eyesight.
Kind regards,
Maria

I’m experiencing an issue where Siri incorrectly announces currency values in notifications. Instead of reading the local currency correctly, it always reads amounts as US dollars.
Issue details:
My iPhone is set to Region: Chile and Language: Spanish (Chile).
In Chile, the currency symbol $ represents Chilean Pesos (CLP), not US dollars.
A notification with the text:
let content = UNMutableNotificationContent()
content.body = "¡Has recibido un pago por $5.000!"
is read aloud by Siri as:
”¡Has recibido un pago por 5.000 dólares!”
(English: “You have received a payment of five thousand dollars!”)
instead of the correct:
”¡Has recibido un pago por 5.000 pesos!”
(English: “You have received a payment of five thousand pesos!”)
Another developer already reported the same issue back in 2023, and it remains unresolved: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/723177
This incorrect behavior is not limited to iOS notifications; it also occurs in other Apple services:
watchOS, iPadOS, and macOS (Siri misreads currency values in various system interactions).
Siri’s currency conversion feature misinterprets $ as USD even when the device is set to a region where $ represents a different currency.
Announce Notifications on AirPods also exhibits this issue, making it confusing when Siri announces transaction amounts incorrectly.
Apple Intelligence interactions are also affected—for example, asking Siri to “read my latest emails” when one of them contains a monetary value results in Siri misreading the currency.
I have submitted a bug report via Feedback Assistant, and the Feedback ID is FB16561348.
This issue significantly impacts accessibility and localization for users in regions where the currency symbol $ is not associated with US dollars.
Has anyone found a workaround, or is there any update from Apple on this?

I'm currently testing the announce notifications feature and I can't seem to find out how to make Siri read aloud the current currency instead of dollars.
My locale is es-CL (Chile). It uses the currency symbol $ and reads as Pesos locally or Chilean Pesos where the number 5000.1 is represented as 5.000,1
This is the notification content
let content = UNMutableNotificationContent()
content.body = "¡Has recibido un pago por $5.000!"
Siri reads it aloud as "¡Has recibido un pago por 5.000 Dolares!" which translates to "You have received a payment for 5,000 Dollars", instead of the expected "¡Has recibido un pago por 5.000 Pesos!" -> "You have received a payment for 5,000 Pesos"
I've tried changing the development region of the app, interpolating the string with NumberFormatter.localizedString(from: 5000, number: .currency), and with others styles( .currencyAccounting, .currencyISOCode and .currencyPlural) without good results. The last one seems to work buts it's not ideal since it outputs "5.000 pesos chilenos" which gets read as "5 pesos chilenos" which is not the correct amount (bug), it's as is you're not on Chile and I personally prefer it to be a symbol instead of words.
I'm testing with my device which is setup with the region "Chile"
Could someone help me find a solution?

Hello all.
Currently I am trying to get WKWebView to scroll with a physical keyboard and it just will not work. I tried allowsKeyboardScrolling( ) and it did not work. UIWebView works but its no longer supported. Trying to get full keyboard access to work to make our app more accessible but WKWebView does not want to play nice.
Has anyone else had issues trying to use WKWebView with an external keyboard, and if so did you find any solutions? Greatly appreciated!
We have an app under development which allows musicians to unlock contact details of people who posted about an upcoming event. The musician pays a fees to unlock this contact details.
Both the musician & the post owner are registered users. We will reveal the same contact info that the post owner used for account signup verification.
Questions:
Is this allowed? (given that we obtain consent to share contact info to other people and clearly mention this in privacy policy)
If yes, will we have to use App store in-app purchase to facilitate this transaction or are we free to use a payment processor such as Stripe.

I am encountering the following issue while working with app group preferences in my Safari web extension:
Couldn't read values in CFPrefsPlistSource<0x3034e7f80> (Domain: [MyAppGroup], User: kCFPreferencesAnyUser, ByHost: Yes, Container: (null), Contents Need Refresh: Yes): Using kCFPreferencesAnyUser with a container is only allowed for System Containers, detaching from cfprefsd.
I am trying to read/write shared preferences using UserDefaults with an App Group but keep running into this error. Any guidance on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated!
Has anyone encountered this before? How can I properly configure my app group preferences to avoid this issue?

Hello, my submission is based on Haptics. Without it the App doesn't make sense. And only real iPhone can give this opportunity. But it says that Xcode playgrounds will be tested on Simulator.
Is it indeed like this? What can I do?
Thank you in advance!
Hello
So if you use the Bulgarian keyboard, you get these characters:
явертъуиопюасдфгхйклшщзьцжбнмч
This isn’t really right for Bulgaria, because т should look like m, and д should look like g, and other characters should look like rotated or mirrored Latin characters. E.g., г should look like a backwards s.
Compare the Bulgaria Wikipedia page in Bulgarian: https://bg.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%91%D1%8A%D0%BB%D0%B3%D0%B0%D1%80%D0%B8%D1%8F
with the Bulgaria Wikipedia page in Russian: https://ru.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%91%D0%BE%D0%BB%D0%B3%D0%B0%D1%80%D0%B8%D1%8F
Notice that the letters are different.
Anyhow, the ios Bulgarian font is just Russian Cyrillic, and that seems like an unintended bug rather than an intentional stylistic choice, basically.

When using iOS VoiceOver to navigate a webpage, selecting a element correctly activates the :focus-visible state. However, when VoiceOver moves to a non-button element (such as a or ), the previously focused button retains its :focus-visible state. The focus indicator only updates when VoiceOver moves to another .
This behavior can be confusing for screen reader users, as it creates the appearance of multiple elements being focused simultaneously. It also differs from expected keyboard navigation behavior, where focus styles typically update as soon as the user moves to a new interactive element.
Is this an intentional VoiceOver behavior, or could this be a bug? If intentional, is there a recommended workaround to ensure correct focus indication when moving between different types of elements?
Steps to Reproduce:
Enable VoiceOver on an iOS device.
Navigate using swipe gestures or explore-by-touch to focus on a .
Observe that the button correctly receives the :focus-visible styling.
Move to a non-button element (e.g., a with tabindex="0" or an ).
Notice that the button still retains its :focus-visible state, even though VoiceOver has moved to a new element.
Expected Behavior:
The previously focused should lose its :focus-visible state when VoiceOver moves to a different interactive element, just as it does when using keyboard navigation.
Actual Behavior:
The :focus-visible state remains on the previously focused button unless VoiceOver moves to another . This can create confusion by displaying multiple focus indicators at once.
Tested On:
iOS 17.7, 18.3.1
iOS Safari
iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 14 Pro Max
Have tried to join the developer programme and says its still pending after 3 days.
Anyone any idea how long the procedure takes??

In our application we are using a pop over view and we have enabled the accessibility VoiceOver, When user navigating inside the popover and reached to the last element that time with the right swipe we need to dismiss the popover.
I have a question about Developer Mode on iPhone.
Currently, the home button on my iPhone SE (2nd generation) is broken, so I use AssistiveTouch to display a virtual home button. However, in Developer Mode, the virtual home button does not appear, making it impossible to enable Developer Mode.
Is there any way to enable Developer Mode in this situation?
Good afternoon. I have a problem with the fact that they deducted $99 from me on February 13, 2025, but they never gave me a developer ID. I assume that the problem arose due to the fact that during the first attempts to write off, there was a limit on the card for online purchases. But then I removed this limit, and the payment went through. Please help me as I have been trying to register for a long time. Thank you
