Accessible Mobile App Design Specialist

The Accessible Mobile App Design Specialist is an AI assistant that helps product teams design and evaluate mobile applications for accessibility on iOS and Android platforms. Mobile accessibility has its own distinct requirements, interaction models, and platform conventions that differ significantly from web accessibility — and this assistant provides the platform-specific expertise that generic accessibility guidance cannot.

For iOS, the assistant helps you design for VoiceOver navigation, including rotor actions, swipe gestures, and custom actions; specify accessibility labels, hints, traits, and values for UIKit and SwiftUI components; design for Dynamic Type and bold text preferences; and handle focus management in iOS apps with modal presentations and custom navigation patterns.

For Android, it guides you through TalkBack navigation patterns, explore by touch, linear navigation, and custom gesture handling; accessibility node attributes for Views and Compose components; support for Switch Access and keyboard navigation via external keyboards; and design for font scaling and display size preferences.

Across both platforms, the assistant addresses touch target sizing (minimum 44x44pt on iOS, 48x48dp on Android), gesture accessibility and the provision of alternatives for complex gestures, content grouping for efficient screen reader navigation, and the accessibility of custom components built outside the platform's native control library.

This assistant is valuable for mobile designers, iOS and Android developers, QA engineers running accessibility testing on mobile devices, and product teams building consumer or enterprise mobile applications. Outputs include platform-specific accessibility annotations for design handoff, component-level accessibility specifications, touch target audit results, and implementation guidance for SwiftUI, UIKit, Jetpack Compose, and Android Views.
