Hi John
You’ve got some confusion with how iOS accessibility works.
·
isAccessibilityElement allows you to confirm an element is interactive and should receive focus by assistive technology.
·
UIAccessibilityIsVoiceOverRunning or
UIAccessibilityIsSwitchControlRunning
allow you to check if the user has assistive technology enabled.
It is possible for you to check if a user has assistive technology running and then provide alternative content. I worry that your use case may generate privacy concerns if you are sending
this status to external services. It would be more appropriate to have a consumer opt-in to this functionality.

Subject: iOS Accessibility Question
I have a question regarding the iOS and the iOS accessibility. If the accessibility feature is turned ON, can the iOS call out to other applications and say "iOS accessibility is active"?
The reason I'm asking is, I'm trying to develop an API where visually impaired users, who have accessibility ON, can access accessible information online.
For example: companies such as Domino's Pizza, and Macy's do not offer accessible websites/apps. I'm trying to create an API that will automatically convert the data on the website/app and make it accessible.
Doing this, I would need the iOS to call out "accessibility turned ON".
