Today I have a question for you: which books have helped you level up your accessibility game?
I'll start: Developing Inclusive Mobile Apps by Rob Whitaker (@RobW). It is not just iOS—you also learn about Android, inclusive design, and WCAG.
Day 150
Books that level up your accessibility game

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.

Check for the traversal order of elements in your app. Sometimes, the default top-left to bottom-right order might not be the most logical one. Sometimes, you may consciously want to tweak the order. Some other times, grouping is the answer.
All the accessibility capabilities you can check for, have counterpart notification names you can observe in case the user changes its preferences while using your app. https://x.com/dadederk/status/1577435144129892352
Anything representing a heading in the app should have the header trait. It allows for a faster way of exploring a screen and jumping to the part of the app you are interested in. Screens should also start with a header.
