Day 13

Believe it or not, one of the most common accessibility pitfalls I see in iOS apps, is forgetting to configure a suitable accessibility label for buttons with just an image (no title), resulting in VoiceOver saying just: "button". Why for buttons with just an image? If it has a title, the accessibility label gets inferred from it. So here's one that should be very easy for you to find and fix in your app. No more apps that just say: button, button, button, button...! If you are looking for the best explanation on what makes, not good, but great accessibility labels, I really recommend “Writing Great Accessibility Labels” by @jordyn2493 at WWDC. The difference between someone using/loving/deleting your app. https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2019/254/

Tip for abbreviations. Something like "3h 24m" will be read by VoiceOver as "3 h 24 meters". Formatters can help. DateComponentsFormatter with a "spellOut" units style will give you a more suitable label: "three hours, twenty-four minutes" Example code in the image: ```swift let dailyAverageLabel = UILabel() let abbreviatedReadableFormatter = DateComponentsFormatter() abbreviatedReadableFormatter.allowedUnits = [.hour, .minute] abbreviatedReadableFormatter.unitsStyle = .spellOut let abbreviatedReadableDuration = abbreviatedReadableFormatter.string(from: 12240) dailyAverageLabel.accessibilityLabel = abbreviatedReadableDuration ``` Some useful links: * Date Components Formatter: * Units Style: By the way! Formatters are also great for localisation.

Potential benefits from grouping logical pieces of information and moving buttons to custom actions: reduce redundancy (by removing repetitive controls) and reduce cognitive load (by making easier to know what item will be affected by each action)
