When something is focused with VoiceOver, if you double tap on the screen, it will be like interacting with the centre of the focused element. If you need to change that, you can customise the accessibilityActivationPoint.

When presenting a UI component that overlays the existing UI, you may have found that VoiceOver starts to randomly jump between the overlaid UI and the elements underneath. To avoid that, you can set its accessibilityViewIsModal to true. When setting the accessibilityViewIsModal to true for a view, VoiceOver will ignore its sibling views, treating it as if it was a modal. Useful when presenting custom popups, popovers, modals, action sheets, etc. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/objectivec/nsobject-swift.class/accessibilityviewismodal

@azzoor is the developer of the Braille Scanner It uses computer vision to locate the page and Machine Learning to match Braille to letters. You can see English letters above the braille, convert them to speech, copy and paste it... so cool!

It is not just about applying accessibility APIs, but about caring, and thinking of features that can make your app more accessible and inclusive to everyone. Twitter's alt-text feature is a great example. Thanks, @TwitterA11y! You'll be missed.
