Apple just announced several new iOS 18 accessibility features!
1. Eye Tracking
Powered by artificial intelligence, Eye Tracking gives users a built-in option for navigating iPad and iPhone with just their eyes. Designed for users with physical disabilities, Eye Tracking uses the front-facing camera to set up and calibrate in seconds, and with on-device machine learning, all data used to set up and control this feature is kept securely on device, and isn’t shared with Apple.

Hi 👋
Posting this in hope that someone in my network may know of a role for me. I’m currently looking for a new job, full time, contract or part time.
If you need help making an app or want someone very passionate about Accessibility to help you, let me know.

✍️ Did you know you can now perform automatic a11y audits directly from Xcode 15?
You can make sure your app's elements:
🎨 Have enough colour contrast
💬 Resize with dynamic type
🔊 Labels are readable by VoiceOver
➕ Many more!

Localization files account for
23% (74 MB) of @Uber
23% (30 MB) of @WhatsApp
17% (53 MB) of @MicrosoftTeams

NSPredicates are Turing Complete, even when minimally using the objective-c runtime. TERNARY expressions are conditionals and an expression can evaluate itself to perform unbounded loops. below is a single NSExpression that is a full brainfuck interpreter gist.github.com/aemmitt-ns/4…

We just open sourced a library, primarily written by @kastiglione, for consuming Swift's index data. We're currently using it internally to discover unused code. Hopefully it lowers the barrier of entry for writing more powerful semantic analysis tools! github.com/lyft/swift-index-…

This week we push result builders to the limit, but also hurt the compiler’s type-inference capabilities.
Using a few advanced tricks, such as generic result builders and buildExpression, we fix type-inference and make things really nice.

Did you know SwiftUI’s View has hidden protocol requirements (if you know where to look)? 🫣
They let SwiftUI build primitive views that differ from the views we are allowed to make.
We take inspiration from this for our ReducerProtocol. Find out more👉 pointfree.co/episodes/ep204-…
ALT Screenshot of code copied from SwiftUI's ".swiftinterface" file, which shows you the full interface of the framework. Even things that may be hidden from Xcode. This shows that the View protocol in SwiftUI actually has a lot more requirements than Xcode would lead you to believe. The public requirement allows you to build a view as a composition of other views. The hidden, internal requirements allows SwiftUI to build lower-level primitive views in a style that is very different from what we have access to.
ALT A screenshot of the ReducerProtocol we built, inspired by SwiftUI's design. It also offers two ways of conforming. One way is a more "primitive" style, allowing you to act on state and actions directly, and the other style allows you to compose together existing reducers.

A super annoying change in Safari on iOS 16: after highlighting some text, the menu shows Copy, Select All and Find Selection, my frequently used Look Up is pushed to the 2nd page of the menu. Who decided Select All and Find Selection is more important than Look Up?

If you use AccessibilitySnapshot, I'd love to hear from you! Understanding how the framework is used helps us prioritize changes.

It's part of Live Activities and ActivityKit — not available in the RC, but will be coming to iOS 16 & Xcode later this year! developer.apple.com/news/?id…

A little gem in the latest Xcode: you’ll no longer be nagged, ahem, warned about unchanged variables and unused constants while you’re still in the middle of coding. Those warnings will only show up when you build. 🙌🏻
