Lazy: Does there exist an iOS entitlement that lets apps programmatically control VoiceOver? We want to allow buyers in the Square checkout flow to enable VoiceOver without having to go to Settings.app.
@kyleve Would something like the home/wake button shortcut (Settings > Accessibility > Accessibility Shortcut) work for on demand switching? Still needs to be setup per device, but once it’s done, it would always be available. I use the shortcut on my test devices and find it very handy.
@sommer@schwa Personal devices largely – or just devices where it's infeasible or undesired to enter guided access mode (where IIRC there are programmatic APIs for this, right?). Eg, there's soon to come legal requirements around a11y requirements for buyer-facing flows.
@kyleve@schwa Ah yeah basically this does not exist but I think it's something there the accessibility folks at apple could be interested in. I'd recommend you reach out to your WWDR evangelist and see if you can get some time with the AX folks to talk about this issue / need.
