Abstract
In this chapter we will start to deep dive into the accessibility APIs offered by Apple, especially UIAccessibility. We will learn that by using native UIKit components, your app can be accessible with very little effort. We will also go through some of the best practices to create a great experience for VoiceOver users, including how to label your UI components properly, what is the Rotor and a grand tour of the most important accessibility traits, and how to implement them appropriately.
