How do I add accessibility support (VoiceOver, Switch Control) in SwiftUI/UIKit?

Adding accessibility support in SwiftUI and UIKit is essential for making your apps usable for everyone. This guide provides examples on how to implement accessibility features such as VoiceOver and Switch Control in your applications.

SwiftUI Accessibility Example

In SwiftUI, you can easily add accessibility modifiers to your views. Here's a simple example:

struct ContentView: View { var body: some View { Text("Welcome to Accessible App") .padding() .accessibility(label: Text("Welcome message")) .accessibility(hint: Text("This is your welcome message, displayed on the screen.")) } }

UIKit Accessibility Example

For UIKit, you can set accessibility properties directly on your UI components. Here’s how you would do it:

class ViewController: UIViewController { override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() let welcomeLabel = UILabel() welcomeLabel.text = "Welcome to Accessible App" welcomeLabel.accessibilityLabel = "Welcome message" welcomeLabel.accessibilityHint = "This is your welcome message, displayed on the screen." view.addSubview(welcomeLabel) } }
