You can pass the .escape AccessibilityActionKind to the accessibilityAction(::) modifier, to implement the perform escape gesture in SwiftUI.
A reminder of how perform escape works:

Some of you have asked me how you can support what I do. This would really help, and would be hugely appreciated:
Find these posts useful? Share them at work, on social media, or with anyone that might find them interesting. Let's spread the word!
Check out any of my apps or games: Xarra!, RetroRapid!, or Mestre!.
A download and a review go a long way. They're free by default. On the App Store, ratings and reviews really help more people discover them.
Finding any of them useful? If so, and if you can afford it, purchasing lifetime access to all features or subscribing lets me buy the coffee that keeps me caffeinated. Caffeine keeps me going to maintain the apps, bring in new features that I hope you'll love, and keep writing.
Day 131
Looking at how to implement the magic tap in SwiftUI? There is an accessibilityAction(_:_:) with an action kind parameter, you can pass .magicTap, and a closure to handle that action. A reminder of what the magic tap is: https://x.com/dadederk/status/1548791545800888322?s=20&t=ZakzzXNfLk0-2kpYqD5v3A
If an image does not convey additional information, maybe it's just used to make the UI look more attractive, it makes sense for VoiceOver to skip it. UIKit: set isAccessibilityElement to false. SwiftUI: create a decorative image explicitly.
In SwiftUI there is a very useful modifier accessibilityElement(children:), that will do very different things depending on the AccessibilityChildBehavior passed as a parameter. There are three options: ignore (default), contain, and combine.
