- [Kevin] Have you ever used an iPhone with your eyes closed? Have you ever opened your favorite app without touching the screen? Ever made a phone call without speaking? Millions of users each day rely on assisted technologies to help them get things done on their mobile devices. As designers and developers, it's up to us to ensure our apps can be enjoyed by everyone. Hi, I'm Kevin Favro, and today we're going to take a look at how to build iOS apps that are accessible to all users regardless of their abilities. We'll look at different accessible technologies built into iOS, and then we'll learn how to audit your apps to ensure all functions and features are discoverable and usable by everyone. After that, we'll make sure all users navigate, operate, and enjoy the Bridges app by refactoring our code to take advantage of the many accessibility hooks provided by Apple. The good news is that Apple has already done a lot of the heavy lifting for us and it's relatively simple to make your apps fully accessible, so let's get started.
