Resources for Implementing Accessibility in your App: VoiceOver

2 min readFeb 21, 2021

I was in a Clubhouse room where someone mentioned the best resource to refer to a developer for implementing accessibility in their app.

I had that question a few years back working on Rocket.Chat iOS app to implement VoiceOver, and the answer was — it’s scattered all around the internet.

So here’s an attempt to gather all the resources I’ve referred to, both in UIKit and SwiftUI.

Note — This is the first iteration of the post, and I will add more resources as I stumble upon them. If you have any recommendations, please reach out to me on @rudrankriyam on Twitter.

Introduction

VoiceOver is a screen reader built into Apple hardware that allows blind and low-vision users to use a touch screen by audibly describing elements of the screen as they pan or swipe around it.
