iOS Accessibility Skill

Treat accessibility as part of the product contract, not a modifier pass at the end. Preserve the semantics of native controls, support user settings, and verify behavior with the actual assistive technologies in scope.

Baseline and availability

Core guidance applies broadly. Copy-ready examples use Xcode 15, Swift 5.9, and iOS/iPadOS 17.

• Assistive Access exists as a system experience on iOS/iPadOS 17.
• accessibilityAssistiveAccessEnabled is available from iOS/iPadOS 18.
• The SwiftUI AssistiveAccess scene and assistiveAccessNavigationIcon are stable Xcode 26 APIs requiring iOS/iPadOS 26.
• OS 27-cycle material is beta relative to stable Xcode 26.6. Include it only on explicit request, label it beta, and gate it.

Always check the user's deployment target before emitting newer API code.
