Hi there!
I'm the developer for Prompt, an SSH terminal app for iOS. We've got a bug which has been annoying our VoiceOver-using customers since the app launched: keyboard input makes the "stop" bonk sound, like when you swipe left/right at the beginning/end of a list. It also doesn't announce the typed letter in a higher, softer voice like it does on OS text input controls.
I've got little in the way of clues at this point, since there's not much to hook into. (Not that I'm complaining! I love how simple the iOS accessibility API is compared to OS X.) If I don't return anything from accessibilityElementCount/accessibilityElementAtIndex:, it doesn't make the bonk and it also doesn't announce the letter. If I post an announcement in insertText: it still bonks, doesn't voice the announcement. If I have a breakpoint in insertText: and pause for more than a very brief moment, it doesn't make the bonk sound (and doesn't read out the letter). The bonk happens before we're posting a layout changed notification in response to the text update. There's just not much going on in our code when this happens.
I'm out of ideas at this point. Any suggestions?
Many thanks!
-Dave
