What standards does the validator check against?

Apple Human Interface Guidelines and WCAG 2.2 at Levels A/AA.

What outputs are produced?

A compliance summary, critical issues list, VoiceOver audit table, Dynamic Type audit, color contrast audit, touch target audit, and accessibility settings support table.

Can this be used in CI/CD?

Yes. Integrate accessibility checks into your CI/CD workflow to catch issues before releases and support ongoing accessibility validation.

iOS Accessibility Validator

Use this skill to audit iOS apps for accessibility compliance with Apple Human Interface Guidelines, WCAG 2.2 standards, and iOS accessibility best practices.

When to Use

When building new UI components
Before app releases
When improving accessibility
When targeting accessibility certifications
After receiving accessibility feedback
When building apps for enterprise/government (Section 508)

How to Apply

Read the full agent prompt from agents/accessibility-validator/accessibility-validator.md in the ios-developer-agents repository.

Follow the audit process:

VoiceOver Compatibility - Labels, hints, traits, element grouping, reading order
Dynamic Type Support - Text scaling, layout adaptation
Color & Visual - Contrast ratios (4.5:1/3:1), color independence, Dark Mode
Motion & Animation - Reduce Motion support, flashing content
Touch Targets - 44x44pt minimum, gesture alternatives
Switch Control & Voice Control - Keyboard access, scanning
Audio & Haptics - Captions, audio descriptions, alternatives
Cognitive Accessibility - Clear language, predictable behavior
Accessibility APIs - UIKit/SwiftUI implementation review

Output Format

Provide structured findings with:

Compliance summary (Apple HIG, WCAG 2.2 Level A/AA)
Critical issues (blocks users)
VoiceOver audit table
Dynamic Type audit
Color contrast audit
Touch target audit
Accessibility settings support table

Overview

The iOS Accessibility Validator assesses iOS apps against Apple HIG, WCAG 2.2, and iOS accessibility best practices. It produces structured findings and prioritized issues to help ensure inclusive design before releases.

How This Skill Works

Follow the audit process outlined in the skill: review VoiceOver compatibility, Dynamic Type support, color and visual design, motion and animation, touch targets, Switch/Voice Control, audio and haptics, cognitive accessibility, and accessibility APIs. Generate a structured report including compliance summary, critical issues, and per-audit tables for actionable fixes.

When to Use It

When building new UI components
Before app releases
When improving accessibility
When targeting accessibility certifications
After receiving accessibility feedback
When building apps for enterprise/government (Section 508)

Quick Start

Step 1: Read the full agent prompt at agents/accessibility-validator/accessibility-validator.md in the ios-developer-agents repository.
Step 2: Run through the audit areas in order: VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, Color & Visual, Motion, Touch Targets, Switch Control & Voice Control, Audio & Haptics, Cognitive Accessibility, and Accessibility APIs.
Step 3: Compile a structured findings report with compliance summary, critical issues, and audit tables for each area.

Best Practices

Follow the full audit process from VoiceOver compatibility to Accessibility APIs for UIKit/SwiftUI implementations.
Ensure VoiceOver labels, hints, traits, and reading order are correct and logical.
Validate Dynamic Type support and layout adaptation across multiple screen sizes.
Check color contrast ratios (4.5:1/3:1 guidance) and ensure color independence, including Dark Mode.
Verify touch targets are at least 44x44 points and provide clear gesture alternatives; test keyboard and control accessibility for switches and voice control.

Example Use Cases

Auditing a new onboarding screen for proper VoiceOver labels and reading order.
Before release, validating dark mode contrast and Dynamic Type scaling across components.
Fixing a complex form by adding accessible error messages and reduced motion where needed.
Reviewing an enterprise app for Section 508 compliance and keyboard navigation.
Evaluating a media player for captions, audio descriptions, and haptic feedback.
