Adding keyboard shortcuts in your SwiftUI apps is extremely easy. Just use the .keyboardShortcut(_:) modifier. When pressing and holding the command key, the shortcut will appear in the shortcuts list.

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.

VoiceOver will traverse elements from left-right, and from top-bottom. If for any reason you need to change that order, in SwiftUI you can change the accessibility sort priority. A higher priority number in the container means it will go first.

With regular buttons from UIKit or SwiftUI, you are all set. With complex views, headings, or table/collection view cells that, when selected, bring the user somewhere else in the app or perform an action, you'll have to add the button trait.

There are a ton of things to love about SwiftUI. But one of my favorites it's got to be the possibility of previewing Variants: the possibility of seeing your UI in dark/light modes, all dynamic type sizes, and orientations, side-by-side.

If you are using SwiftUI to build your apps, there is a fairly basic but very useful Accessibility Inspector built right there in the Inspectors Panel, on the right side of Xcode.

Meet @jordibruin developer of Navi (and other great apps) and organizer of @swiftuiseries (with an accessibility category). Navi is sadly not available anymore but it was worth an Apple Design Awards nomination. It added subtitles to FaceTime!

If you use SwiftLint in your SwiftUI project, there is a rule, by @rerycole34, for making sure that your images have either an accessibility label or are hidden for assistive tech because they might be decorative. Rule: https://realm.github.io/SwiftLint/accessibility_label_for_image.html

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: https://x.com/dadederk/status/1549066893377830913?s=20&t=Aog7ojR4E4eG4M3hd-cn3w

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

In SwiftUI you won't find the .notEnabled accessibility trait. Instead, you can just configure a view as such with .disabled(true), and pass false to enable it. VoiceOver will announce it as "dimmed". https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/view/disabled(_:)

As with UIKit, in SwiftUI you can also add/remove a11y traits. But because of its declarative nature, you'll have to approach it in a slightly different way. A little nuance, but something that made me scratch my UIKit head when learning SwitUI.
