In our application we are using UITableView for data population and that TableView cell contains a button. When we are enabling full keyboard access that time only TableView cell is focusing not the button. We need to focus on cell and button differently.

How can I fix the truncated text issue reported by the Apple Accessibility Inspector? I created a sample view controller with the system font set to its maximum size, and the label appears to be truncated. private let testLabel: UILabel = { let label = UILabel() label.text = "Apple A11y Tes" label.textAlignment = .center label.numberOfLines = 1 label.adjustsFontForContentSizeCategory = true label.font = .preferredFont(forTextStyle: .headline) label.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false return label }() override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() setupUI() } private func setupUI() { view.addSubview(testLabel) NSLayoutConstraint.activate([ testLabel.centerXAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.centerXAnchor), testLabel.centerYAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.centerYAnchor), testLabel.leadingAnchor.constraint(greaterThanOrEqualTo: view.leadingAnchor, constant: 25), testLabel.trailingAnchor.constraint(lessThanOrEqualTo: view.trailingAnchor, constant: -25) ]) } } What is the expected result here?

In our application we are using a Search bar in a pop over view and we have enabled Accessibility full keyboard access and we are using external keyboard. Now if the focus is on Searcher that time by next Tab key press Search bar will dismiss and focus needs to shift to the next UIElement.

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.

In our application we are using OTP login. When accessibility full keyboard access is enabled, and we are trying to enter OTP in the OTP field that time in iOS 17 focus is moving to the next text field accordingly but in iOS 18 focus is staying the first OTP field only and not moving to the next text field.

Hello everyone, I’d like to report an issue I’ve encountered when using a Bluetooth mouse together with AssistiveTouch on iPhone running iOS 16.5. This has also been reported via Feedback Assistant with Feedback ID: FB17806167 Description: When using a Bluetooth mouse together with AssistiveTouch on iPhone (iOS), the pointer behaves incorrectly in landscape orientation. Specifically: The pointer cannot move past the center of the screen Horizontal and vertical (X/Y) movements appear to be swapped or misaligned Natural movement of the pointer is not possible It seems as if the internal coordinate mapping remains locked in portrait orientation, even when the device is physically rotated to landscape. This issue occurs system-wide, regardless of the current app. It is observable in Settings, on the Home screen, and in third-party apps. Steps to Reproduce: Enable AssistiveTouch Connect a Bluetooth mouse to the iPhone Rotate the device to landscape orientation Try moving the mouse pointer across the screen → Notice that: Pointer cannot move past the center Horizontal/vertical input is interpreted incorrectly (as if still in portrait) Expected Behavior: The mouse pointer should move across the entire screen correctly, regardless of device orientation. Actual Behavior: In landscape orientation, the pointer is either restricted to part of the screen or misaligned. It behaves as if the device is still in portrait. Horizontal mouse movement causes vertical pointer movement, and vice versa User experience feels broken and unintuitive Feature Suggestion: Please improve the synchronization between physical device orientation and AssistiveTouch pointer mapping on iOS. I also suggest exposing AssistiveTouch orientation control via a public API, so developers can help maintain consistent pointer behavior. Thanks in advance for any insights or suggestions. Best regards, Jannis

I'm using Xcode 15.2 and have migrated my (macOS) project to use an xcstrings file a while back. Now when I check the xcstrings file, all items are marked as "stale". When I add new localized strings in code, they don't show up in the xcstrings file. The xcstrings file is built correctly (into .lproj/Localizable.strings) when building. Where can I check which source files are checked to update xcstrings status? "xcstringstool" appears to have a "sync" feature which reads "stringsdata" files, but there is no information in the xcstringstool help on where the stringsdata files come from. If I create a new project I can see a "stringsdata" file being generated for each source file in the intermediate build products folder.

Hi I'm planning to make macos App and distribute to MacOS App Store. The question is should i make force update when update is needed. The reason why I want to make this feature is I don't want to make user use previous version of app. My plan is like this. when app needed update, make user reach special page that describe why update is needed and set a button that can download new version of app. the download will be automatically doing at background don't need to visit app store. I search several forums and gpt but there is no positive reply of this.. so finally i make a post to know is there no way to make this. Thank you!

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.

AVPlayer has 3 visual accessibility issues with videos out of the box: The contrast fails for the current time in the video The contrast fails for the remaining time in the video The hit area is too small for the time slider. The WCAG AA requirement is a minimum hit size of 24 x 24. The height of the hit area of the offending region is 8. Is there a known fix for any of these? This can be reproduced with this code in an app playground: import SwiftUI import AVKit import UIKit struct ContentView: View { private let video = URL(string: "https://server15700.contentdm.oclc.org/dmwebservices/index.php?q=dmGetStreamingFile/p15700coll2/15.mp4/byte/json")! @State private var player: AVPlayer? var body: some View { VStack { VideoPlayerView(player: player) .frame(maxWidth: .infinity, maxHeight: 200) } .task { player = try? await loadPlayer(video: video) } } } private struct VideoPlayerView: UIViewControllerRepresentable { let player: AVPlayer? func makeUIViewController(context: Context) -> AVPlayerViewController { let controller = AVPlayerViewController() controller.player = player controller.modalPresentationStyle = .overFullScreen return controller } func updateUIViewController(_ uiViewController: AVPlayerViewController, context: Context) { uiViewController.player = player } } private func loadPlayer(video: URL) async throws -> AVPlayer { let videoAsset = AVURLAsset(url: video) let videoPlusSubtitles = AVMutableComposition() try await videoPlusSubtitles.add(videoAsset, withMediaType: .video) try await videoPlusSubtitles.add(videoAsset, withMediaType: .audio) return await AVPlayer(playerItem: AVPlayerItem(asset: videoPlusSubtitles)) } private extension AVMutableComposition { func add(_ asset: AVAsset, withMediaType mediaType: AVMediaType) async throws { let duration = try await asset.load(.duration) try await asset.loadTracks(withMediaType: mediaType).first.map { track in let newTrack = self.addMutableTrack(withMediaType: mediaType, preferredTrackID: kCMPersistentTrackID_Invalid) let range = CMTimeRangeMake(start: .zero, duration: duration) try newTrack?.insertTimeRange(range, of: track, at: .zero) } } }

Hey folks, I want VoiceOver to speak punctuation in certain cases. On iOS, there seems to be the UIAccessibilitySpeechAttributePunctuation attributed string key to achieve that, but I can't find an alternative for macOS. What is the recommended approach for achieving the same result?

In SwiftUI, iOS 18.1.1, Xcode 16.1, the following control: Text(12345678, format: .byteCount(style: .binary)) displays text with MB (megabytes) unit, but German VoiceOver reads it as "millibars". I tried explicitly specify units with: Text(12345678, format: .byteCount(style: .memory, allowedUnits: .mb)) but the result is the same (German VoiceOver still says "millibars"). Aside from creating own accessibility label, is there any way to go around that?

Many of us Bangladeshi iPhone users were upset when Apple changed the font to Bangla in the most recent iOS version (18.4.1). We prefer the old Bangla typeface. I want the old Bangla typeface to return, and so do we. Please consider this.

I got a UIControl, and I want to make it behavior like a custom UIAccessibilityElement. UIControl *control = [[UIControl alloc] init]; control.isAccessibilityElement = NO; CustomAccessibilityElement *elem = [[CustomAccessibilityElement alloc] initWithAccessibilityContainer:control]; elem.isAccessibilityElement = YES; // some custom setting here control.accessibilityElements = @[elem]; It worked well with an iPhone 13, iOS 15.5.1, but crashed with an iPhone SE, iOS 15.4.1 and the crash msg is : "-[UIAccessibilityElement _addAccessibilityElementsAndOrderedContainersWithOptions:toCollection:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x283b7c680" Can you tell me the reason ? Thanks a lot.

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

macOS > Settings > Keyboard > Text Replacement is a macOS/iOS feature I use extensively but it is unavailable in quite a few macOS applications — including some Apple apps like Xcode. Other apps I want Text Replacement to work in but it doesn't are the Adobe CC suite, all my code text editors like VC Studio, Sublime Text, BBEdit, emacs etc and Firefox. Does anybody know what the file path is for the file that stores the Text Replacement key/string pair data? If i can access the .plist file or similar where the Text Replacement key/string pairs are stored I will be able to convert to JSON using REGEX and import to the Firefox plugin that will replicate Text Replacement functionality in Firefox for me. Ditto other code editor applications with their own particular text substitution functionality. Background Some of these apps have plugins or functional equivalents of Text Replacement but i need a way to do the import/export dance to keep them in sync with my Text Replacement text pairs. Sadly, even though we can select the Text Replacement table (in macOS but not in iOS versions), we can't copy that information. This seems to me a violation of good GUI design principles. Why allow selection of the entire table if we cannot copy it to the clipboard? Nor can we import or export the table of text tuples. The Text Replacement GUI has no buttons to do this (consider this post also a FR for that). Screen-capturing and running text recognition software over the PNG it is not an option given: a) all the UTF-16 unusual glyphs and combination glyphs i use; b) that I'd like to script this as a multi-directional syncing application I can run periodically. Typically macOS and app preferences are stored in plist files. I want to find such a file and convert it to JSON for importing into a Firefox plugin that replicates Text Replacement within Firefox. I tried modifying Text Replacements by adding a new item to the list and clicking "Done" and then filtering ~/Library for .plist files and sorting by "Date Modified" but nothing is showing up with these values in it.

I am trying to create Apple Push Notifications service APNs, but the following error occurs. This service must have one identifier configured. identifier has already been created. Please check thank you

I downloaded the official camera sample code（https://developer.apple.com/tutorials/sample-apps/capturingphotos-camerapreview ）it's a .swiftpm package and created a SwiftUI project. I copied the official sample code into this new project, build it, and ran it on an iPhone 13 for testing. I found that there were black empty areas on the top and bottom of the application interface, which means that the application interface cannot be previewed in full screen. I have tried many methods but cannot preview in full screen. How can I modify the code?

Now it's issue with port, charger, battery charge.

I am developing a vision os app for controlling an underwater ROV. I have ornaments with telemetry and buttons around a central video view feed. I have custom buttons mappings, such as "A" for locking the depth of the drone. However, when I look at buttons or certain ornaments, my custom gamepad logic is kept from running. This means that when a SwiftUI Button gains focus on visionOS, pressing the controller’s A button triggers the system’s default “click” on that Button rather than my custom buttonA handler. Essentially, focus interception by the system is stealing my A-press events and preventing my custom gamepad logic from running. Is there a way to disable the built in gamepad interaction and only allow my custom gamepad mappings?
