It’s very cool to be able to say I’ll be guest-hosting a tiny part of this year’s ID24 as we discover how the BBC is baking accessibility into their iOS and Android apps. At 13:00 UTC 25 September - but of course the whole 24 hours will be great 😌

The recording of my Touch-Free Touch Screens talk from AppDevCon is now available. Touch isn’t the only way to interact with iOS- Keyboards, Mice, your voice, even moving your eyes, offer your users options to make their device and your apps work for them. vimeo.com/1097832577

I really enjoyed chatting to (and learning loads from) @rob-w.bsky.social about giving great tech talks at @swiftcraft.bsky.social! I’d really recommend checking out this blog post!

I actually wrote a blog — my first in over 3 years, and it’s not about accessibility! It’s about how I plan and deliver tech talks and came from a chat at @swiftcraft.bsky.social If you’re speaking soon (or thinking about it), I hope it helps. www.rwapp.co.uk/blog/speaking

🔥 New Drop-In Session 🔥 We are super excited to confirm Daniel Deves Derksen-Staats as our next confirmed Drop-In Host. Daniel will be on-hand for all things App Accessibility, and ready to help take your app to the next level. 🔍 Slots for the Accessibility Review are open now: swiftleeds.co.uk

The more I hear from Apple this week on the new design, the more I’m convinced they have given up on accessibility. I like the new design, it’s fun and exciting and I can’t wait to use it. And I know this is an early iteration and things will improve…

Has anyone worked out if the Foundation Models API can take non-text based inputs? For example: summarising contents of an image. #WWDC25

Assistive Access is a truly amazing #accessibility feature, allowing apps to adapt for those with cognitive disabilities. And now it's finally a new #SwiftUI scene type that YOU can use in your own apps. To learn how, Anne has a fantastic talk this #wwdc25: https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/ww

Some accessibility and inclusion related #wwdc videos coming today Bring advanced speech-to-text to your app with SpeechAnalyzer developer.apple.com/videos/play/... Explore localization with Xcode developer.apple.com/videos/play/... 1/3

Feels like a good time to remind everyone of the reduce transparency setting on iOS. This lets users tell you they find it easier to use UI with solid colours. Listen to the environment property in SwiftUI and remove/reduce transparency in your ui. #WWDC25 developer.apple.com/documentatio...

Weekly vibes 6/6/25 All welsh bands sound like variants of the Superfurry Animals, and this is a good thing. #WeeklyVibes open.spotify.com/playlist/0ZZ...

If you’re in Cupertino this coming week I hope you have a fantastic/stressless time depending on if an innie or an outie. I wish I was there with you.

Hello new followers, it’s lovely to see you. Although I note that none of you brought cake 🤨 I don’t post here much, mostly you’ll see an automated weekly post of a playlist. But if you have questions about native accessibility, please feel free to ask, then maybe I’ll start posting here a little

The Art of Fauna just *WON* an Apple Design Award in the Inclusivity category. 🤯 But it is also a finalist for Social Impact. 💚 Two nominations, one win. I still can't believe this. What a year 🥹 #indiedev #WWDC #WWDC25 #TheArtOfFauna

I endorse all of these except one.

I made a starter pack of people that have either helped me with technical problems or that I've seen help others. Though it could be cool share. (I kinda hate that you are forced to include yourself in these things but whatever) go.bsky.app/Tw6RBQU
