Since UITextView does not support the zoom function, the zoom function of UITextView with addSubview is used in UIScrollView.
However, when I use the link here, the text behind it is missing.
Ex) https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/login\nApple Developer Login
-> The text “Apple Developer Login” does not appear.
If anyone has experienced the same problem as me or knows a solution, please leave a comment.
Note)
It is working normally in iOS16, but the text behind the link disappears in iOS18.
The text is not visible, but you can copy it and paste it to retrieve the missing text.

I am registering my startup for an Apple Developer Account so that we can put our app on the App Store. I do not want use my personal Apple ID's payment to pay the $99 annual fee. How can I change the payment method so that I can continue with my enrollment?
Hi guys, I'm facing an issue with the native interface to add a card into the wallet - does someone have some ideas on how to fix/work around that?
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
Disable VoiceOver (Settings → Accessibility → VoiceOver → Off).
Connect and confirm that you can navigate other iOS interfaces using an external keyboard.
In any app, present a PKAddPassesViewController with a valid .pkpass file.
When the Wallet “Add Pass” sheet appears, attempt to navigate using only the external keyboard (Tab/Arrow/Enter).
Observe that focus does not move to the Cancel or Add buttons, and no elements receive keyboard focus.
EXPECTED RESULT:
All interactive elements in PKAddPassesViewController (e.g., Cancel and Add) should be fully keyboard accessible without requiring VoiceOver. Users should be able to navigate, select, and complete actions using only a hardware keyboard.
ACTUAL RESULT:
Keyboard navigation is not possible.
No elements receive focus.
Users cannot activate Cancel or Add buttons using keyboard input.
The only way to interact is by touch or enabling VoiceOver, which does not satisfy keyboard accessibility requirements.
IMPACT:
Violates WCAG 2.1 Success Criterion 2.1.1 (Keyboard Accessible).
Prevents keyboard-only users (including users with motor disabilities) from adding passes to Wallet.
Affects users of external keyboards who rely on tab/arrow navigation.
Creates an inconsistent accessibility experience compared to other iOS system modals.
Please update Accessibility OS Settings for VoiceOver in iPhone iOS and iPadOS to include frames on the Rotor, and to make web navigation and component gestures easier to find and assign. Please add content to the iPhone and iPad Apple User Guide to use VoiceOver in web navigation with touch gestures.
Specifically... iframes.
There is no clear guidance in Apple documentation for VoiceOver users in iPhone or iPadOS to access iframes with touch gestures. A common belief as written on AppleVis, other blogs, and internet searches is that iframes in Safari or a webView in an app are only available with explore by touch.
If explore by touch is the only option for some interactions, that needs to be included in Apple User Guides. If not, details on equivalent touch gestures for VO that have keyboard interactions in Mac need to be clear for users.
VoiceOver for Mac includes a default keyboard interaction of VO-Command-F in its extensive User Guide (https://support.apple.com/guide/voiceover/by-images-or-frames-mchlp2740/mac). A user can include a rotor option for web navigation for iframes.
VoiceOver for iPhone and iPad does not include a default swipe gesture assigned to frames. An option is not available for the Rotor.
While there is iPhone User Guide guidance that gestures can be customized (https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/customize-gestures-and-keyboard-shortcuts-iph59a8e6fd2/18.0/ios/18.0), it is not clear that for adding this gesture, "Move to the next frame" is tucked into the advanced navigation commands for VoiceOver Accessibility Settings in the OS. At least in my phone, the word "frame" was not searchable despite the All Commands screen using a search bar.
Bonjour, s'il vous plaît, pourquoi mon compte icloud ne peut pas s'inscrire au programme de développement Apple, je veux vraiment votre aide.
I have been working on a feature, where I have a List in SwiftUI with previous and next data loading, user can scroll up and down to load previous/next page data.
Recently, I faced one accessibility issue while testing voice-over, when user lands on the listing screen and swipe across the screen from navigation and when focus comes on list it should highlight the first item visible.
But when user swipes back:
Should it load the previous data and announce the previous item or it should go back to the navigation items?
If it loads the previous item, what if the user wants to go to the navigation to switch to other actions and vice-versa?
Did anyone come across this kind of issue? What can be the standard expected behavior in this case if list has both previous and next page scroll?
I different tried gestures https://support.apple.com/en-in/guide/iphone/iph3e2e2281/ios, but it isn't working
I'd like to add borders to all buttons in the iOS simulator from my Mac app. First I get the simulator window. Then I access the children of all AXGroup and if it's a button or a static text, I add a border.
But for some buttons this does not work. In the example image the NavigationBarButtons are not found. I guess the problem is, that for some AXGroup the children array access with AXChildren is empty.
Here is some relevant code:
- (NSArray<DDHOverlayElement *> *)overlayChildrenOfUIElement:(AXUIElementRef)element index:(NSInteger)index {
NSMutableArray<DDHOverlayElement *> *tempOverlayElements = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
NSLog(@">>> -----------------------------------------------------");
NSString *role = [UIElementUtilities roleOfUIElement:element];
NSRect frame = [UIElementUtilities frameOfUIElement:element];
NSLog(@"%@, role: %@, %@", element, role, [NSValue valueWithRect:frame]);
NSArray *lineage = [UIElementUtilities lineageOfUIElement:element];
NSLog(@"lineage: %@", lineage);
NSArray<NSValue *> *children = [UIElementUtilities childrenOfUIElement:element];
if (children.count < 1) {
NSLog(@"NO CHILDREN");
}
for (NSInteger i = 0; i < [children count]; i++) {
NSValue *child = children[i];
AXUIElementRef uiElement = (__bridge AXUIElementRef)child;
NSString *role = [UIElementUtilities roleOfUIElement:uiElement];
NSRect frame = [UIElementUtilities frameOfUIElement:uiElement];
NSLog(@"----%@, role: %@, %@", child, role, [NSValue valueWithRect:frame]);
}
NSLog(@"<<< -----------------------------------------------------");
for (NSInteger i = 0; i < [children count]; i++) {
NSValue *child = children[i];
AXUIElementRef uiElement = (__bridge AXUIElementRef)child;
NSString *role = [UIElementUtilities roleOfUIElement:uiElement];
NSRect frame = [UIElementUtilities frameOfUIElement:uiElement];
NSLog(@"%@, role: %@, %@", child, role, [NSValue valueWithRect:frame]);
if ([role isEqualToString:@"AXButton"] ||
[role isEqualToString:@"AXTextField"] ||
[role isEqualToString:@"AXStaticText"]) {
NSString *tag = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%ld%ld", (long)index, (long)i];
NSLog(@"tag: %@", tag);
DDHOverlayElement *overlayElement = [[DDHOverlayElement alloc] initWithUIElementValue:child tag:tag];
[tempOverlayElements addObject:overlayElement];
} else if ([role isEqualToString:@"AXGroup"] ||
[role isEqualToString:@"AXToolbar"]) {
[tempOverlayElements addObjectsFromArray:[self overlayChildrenOfUIElement:uiElement index:++index]];
} else if ([role isEqualToString:@"AXWindow"]) {
[self.overlayWindowController setFrame:[UIElementUtilities frameOfUIElement:uiElement]];
[tempOverlayElements addObjectsFromArray:[self overlayChildrenOfUIElement:uiElement index:index]];
}
}
return [tempOverlayElements copy];
}
For some AXGroup the children are found. For some they are empty. I cannot figure out why.
Does anyone have an idea what I'm doing wrong?

When I am doing a file search, in TextEdit, and on certain webistes the space bar will quit functioning as soon as i start typing. If I hold down the "Option" key it allows the space bar to work as normal. I have checked every setting I can think of and nothing has helped.

Hello,
I added new In-App Purchase into my app, it was approved on 2nd of Oct but now 7th of Oct I still cannot see it in the list of products coming from Store.
I already have 2 subscriptions and 1 In-App purchase in my app, but the new In-App purchase is still not coming from the store in available products. What could cause this?

I have a couple follow up questions after the "Accessibility technologies group lab".
I know it was briefly mentioned that user feedback is an excellent way to grow inclusivity in the design an app and utilizing these forums were one for example.
Is inviting folks here on the forum via test flight a reasonable approach to this for a solo developer?
Are there other strategies, avenues, or examples to promote user feedback?
Hi everyone,
I've encountered a rare and strange crash in my app that I can't consistently reproduce. The crash seems to occur deep within Apple's internal frameworks, and I can't pinpoint which line of my own code is causing it. Here's the crash stack trace:

Has anyone experienced a similar issue or know what might be triggering this crash? Any guidance on how to investigate or resolve this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
On iOS, there is accessibilityLanguage.
I have a TextField and entered for example "sg?!". At the TextField I set the modifier speechAlwaysIncludesPunctuation(). But when I activate VoiceOver the content of TextField is reading. The special characters don't read out.
How can I fix this?
There are several ways we are supposed to be able to control a11y (accessibility) focus in FKA (Full Keyboard Access) mode.
We should be able to set up an @AccessibilityFocusState variable that contains an enum for the different views that we want to receive a11y focus. That works from VO (VoiceOver) but not from FKA mode. See this sample project on Github:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/79067665/how-to-manage-accessibilityfocusstate-for-swiftui-accessibility-keyboard
Similarly, we are supposed to be able to use accessibilitySortPriority to control the order that views are selected when a user using FKA tabs between views. That also works from VO but not from FKA mode. In the sample code below, the `.accessibilitySortPriority() ViewModifiers cause VO to change to a non-standard order when you swipe between views, but it has no effect in FKA mode.
Is there a way to either set the a11y focus or change the order in which the views are selected that actually works in SwiftUI when the user is in FKA mode?
Code that should cause FKA to tab between text fields in a custom order:
struct ContentView: View {
@State private var val1: String = "val 1"
@State private var val2: String = "val 2"
@State private var val3: String = "val 3"
@State private var val4: String = "val 4"
var body: some View {
VStack {
TextField("Value 1", text: $val1)
.accessibilitySortPriority(3)
VStack {
TextField("Value 2", text: $val2)
.accessibilitySortPriority(1)
}
HStack {
TextField("Value 3", text: $val3)
.accessibilitySortPriority(2)
TextField("Value 4", text: $val4)
.accessibilitySortPriority(4)
}
}
.padding()
}
}```
Is there any way to get history?

Double-tap three fingers and drag to change zoom” should suppress “Three Finger to Drag”. Currently these gestures are triggered simultaneously, for no real reasons. I saw different behaviors for different environments, but none is desired.
Current and desired behavior:
This seems an issue so I filed a feedback.
I'm developing a document editor for macOS using AppKit, which supports structured content such as titles and multiple heading levels—similar to what you see in the Pages app.
I'm looking for a way to programmatically mark a specific substring within an NSTextView as a heading, so that VoiceOver can recognize it and announce it appropriately (e.g., by saying “heading” before reading the text). This would be similar in spirit to how NSAccessibilityLinkTextAttribute works for links.
Is there an existing accessibility text attribute or recommended approach to achieve this behavior for headings? If not, I’d appreciate any guidance or suggestions on how best to implement this in a VoiceOver-friendly way.
Thank you in advance for your help!
Best regards,

In the app I'm working on, I have a SwiftUI View embedded in a UIKit Storyboard. The SwiftUI View holds a menu with a list of payment tools, and the ForEach loop looks like this:
ForEach(self.paymentToolsVM.paymentToolsItems, id: \.self) { paymentTool in
Button {
navigationCallback(paymentTool.segueID)
} label: {
PaymentToolsRow(paymentToolName: paymentTool.title, imageName: paymentTool.imageName)
.accessibilityElement()
.accessibilityIdentifier("Billing_\(paymentTool.title.replacingOccurrences(of: " ", with: ""))")
}
if paymentTool != self.paymentToolsVM.paymentToolsItems.last {
Divider()
}
}
So you can see the accessibility ID is there, and it shows up properly when I open up Accessibility Inspector with the simulator, but the testing script isn't picking up on it, and it doesn't show up when the view is inspected in Appium. I have other SwiftUI views embedded in the UIKit view, and the script picks up the buttons on those, so I'm not sure what's different about this one.
If it helps, the script is written in Java with the BDD framework. I can try to get the relevant part of the script if anyone thinks that would be helpful. Otherwise, is there anything else I can try?
