Migrating to Swift 6

"It is possible you have been incrementally adopting concurrency features as they were introduced. Or, you may have been waiting for the Swift 6 release to begin using them. Regardless of where your project is in this process, this guide provides concepts and practical help to ease the migration."

Optimizing for VoiceOver and Voice Control "I’ve spoken about the layering system in accessibility, with VoiceOver support being a good first step toward supporting Voice Control, and Voice Control in turn being a good start in supporting Full Keyboard Access." https://www.basbroek.nl/optimizing-assistive-technology

Cheating the System for Fun and Profit (or how to use macOS Assistive Technologies to test in the Simulator) "Let’s take a look at how we can use macOS’s assistive technologies, like VoiceOver and Voice Control, as well as Hover Text, to more easily check some accessibility in the simulator, without having to deal with some shortcomings of the Accessibility Inspector. This will help you not having to always immediately run your app on an iOS device to test it… mostly." https://www.basbroek.nl/cheating-the-system-for-fun-and-profit

Building an Accessible Custom Tab Bar During my time at WeTransfer, I worked on making a custom tab bar in the app accessible. That is, make it work just like a native, out-of-the-box UITabBarController. Whilst possible, it was far from straightforward. In this post, I talk about matching the built-in behavior, by supporting the Large Content Viewer as well as the magical (as you will see later) .tabBar trait. https://www.basbroek.nl/custom-tab-bar-accessibility

Getting Started With Accessibility: Dynamic Type "Dynamic Type lets you support different font sizes in your app, so that users can use a font size that works best for them — from smaller than the system default, to a whole bunch larger. … and there’s some smarts built into the system to support those cases where you’re limited on space and can’t really show a larger font." https://www.basbroek.nl/getting-started-dynamic-type

Improving Accessibility: Voice Control "Having improved an app for VoiceOver means you’ll have made some major steps to also support its sibling: Voice Control. Whereas VoiceOver is a screen reader, reading what’s on the screen, Voice Control lets users navigate their devices by voice." https://www.basbroek.nl/improving-voice-control
