One more! Sometimes less really is more when it comes to developing accessible iOS apps. Don’t just take my word for it. @benfreiband.bsky.social gave a whole talk on exactly that at Swift Connection this year.

Third pick! This talk from @rob-w.bsky.social is 🔥 I like to say accessibility is about abstracting the UI so people can use apps and consume info through multiple input and output methods. Here you’ll find tons of ways to use touch apps in a touch-free way!

Next! Our very own @robinkanatzar.bsky.social keeps doing an amazing job advocating for accessibility and spreading the love for it. In this episode, she even reconnects with @jonathan.macstories.net to talk about the elephant in the room: a11y and Liquid Glass.

Having worked at big companies lately, it’s been years since I’ve had the thrilling (and terrifying) chance of pressing “Submit for Review.” Or of clicking “Create a new Xcode project” confident it would lead to a released app!
