Reveal

We've had a number of developers contact us in recent years about why we don't offer integration via Swift Package Manager. Unfortunately, there are limitations in Swift Package Manager that mean that once integrated, there's no way to avoid our RevealServer framework being linked into release builds.

I've written up the details a little on our help site: https://support.revealapp.com/article/46-integrating-using-swift-package-manager

As always, if you think you have a neat way to work around this limitation, I'd love to hear it!

We've been working on exposing some of Reveal's core functions via command-line tools — with the goal being to give coding agents access to audit your app, and then iterate on suggestions and guidance to fix any issues that are identified.

If this sounds useful, please give the upcoming beta of Reveal 58 a try, and let us know how it works for you: https://revealapp.com/updates/58-beta-2/

We're having a 75% off sale for Cyber Monday!

If you need to do any accessibility work on your iOS or tvOS apps in the coming year, this is a great opportunity to get a copy of our tools at a huge discount 🫶🏻

The discount is available under December 15th, and the rest of the details are in the linked post: https://revealapp.com/news/cyber-monday-sale/

Reveal v56 supports the v26 SDKs and Xcode 26, and has a refreshed look for macOS Tahoe.

If you're testing your apps with the WWDC25 betas, and would like to inspect your apps using Reveal we've got a beta for you!

There are a bunch of small but important fixes coming in this release — read more at: https://revealapp.com/beta-updates/54-beta-2/

We want to make sure that the new features in Reveal help to improve the development of accessibility features for as many teams and apps as possible, so we are offering new subscribers 50% off until the end of June: https://revealapp.com/news/50-off-until-the-end-of-june/

@natanrolnik@mastodon.social yes, it is expected. We've been trying to move across to using our Itty Bitty Labs signing signatures for a while now, and finally did in this release.

@nckh@mastodon.social sorry about this, Greg — we unintentionally cleared out some verification tokens recently and it's causing the app to throw up this message. I know it's inconvenient, but re-entering your existing license should get you straight back in.

There’s so much more, and we can’t wait for you to have a try! Automated testing can never be a complete replacement for manual testing, but using Insights will help direct your attention to things you may not be aware of, or things that aren't front-of-mind on the day. Think of Insights as a gentle tap on the shoulder. Try it for free now: https://www.revealapp.com

Let’s go with something that is normally slow to test, like contrast. Insights can check your on-screen elements against four different contrast standards and three types of colour vision deficiency. In milliseconds.

Let’s go even more subtle.

Like whether an element’s accessibilityLabel is derived from the default label provided for some SF symbols.

Let’s do something more subtle.

Like whether a button’s accessibilityLabel is the same as an image filename or an SF symbol key.

Tap target sizes, whether they fail to meet the recommendation of Apple’s Human Interface Guidelines, WCAG 2.2 AA, or AAA.

Here are a few examples of the types of issues Insights can detect. Let’s start with something big and easy. It can detect lack of landscape support, both on an app and individual screen level.

These rules are based on a combination of industry and platform-specific guidelines and best practices. They provide you with information about what the issue is, how to address it, and references for further reading. They cover the big, the small, the very visible, and the very subtle. Between them, they will help you catch issues that can severely affect the user experience of your apps. And — the vast majority of these rules work for apps built with SwiftUI. https://revealapp.com/news/introducing-insights-and-new-pricing/

It's finally here! We're proud and excited to share with you Reveal's new Insights workspace!

We spent more than a year working on a way we could use Reveal's knowledge of your iOS/iPadOS app to help you both work faster and create better user experiences.

The result is Insights, a workspace that runs a powerful, accessibility-focused audit of your app — instantly!

We worked with industry experts and organisations to encode their expertise into more than 130 rules.

We’ve completed the maintenance (successfully this time) on Reveal’s account portal, and all systems should be running 🎉. Please let us know via support if you experience any issues: https://revealapp.com/support/request/

Yesterday's maintenance on Reveal’s account portal didn't go according to plan, so we're going to try again now, which means the account portal will be unavailable for the next 20-30 minutes.

If you purchase a license during this period, confirmation emails will be a bit delayed. If you have questions, get in touch via our support site: https://revealapp.com/support/request/
