Day 207

If you need multiple links embedded in some text (like the classic T&Cs and Privacy policy), the easiest is to use a UITextView & Attributed Strings, and it will work beautifully with VoiceOver. You'll be even able to navigate through links. In the example, VoiceOver would say: “I agree with the Privacy Policy and the Terms and Conditions, link”. Swipe down, should announce: “Privacy Policy, link” and you can double tap to open it. Swiping down one more time announces: “Terms and Conditions, link”. Example code in the image: ```swift let textView = UITextView() let string = "I agree with the Privacy Policy and the Terms and Conditions" let attributedString = NSMutableAttributedString(string: string) attributedString.addAttribute(.link, value: "https://www.yourdomain.com/pp", range: NSRange(location: 17, length: 14)) attributedString.addAttribute(.link, value: "https://www.yourdomain.com/tac", range: NSRange(location: 40, length: 20)) textView.attributedText = attributedString extension ViewController: UITextViewDelegate { func textView(_ textView: UITextView, shouldInteractWith URL: URL, in characterRange: NSRange, interaction: UITextItemInteraction) -> Bool { UIApplication.shared.open(URL) return true } } ```

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

Toggles or UISwitches are often found separated from the label that precedes (and describes) them; with an unclear label; missing a value, trait, or hint; or even not being actionable at all.
