How should controls be coded on iOS so that VoiceOver speaks index
information?
As an example, consider the built-in Phone app. When the Recent tab is
selected, there are two buttons, All and Missed, presenting choices as
to whether all calls should be shown or only missed ones. When the All
button has accessibility focus, its identification by VoiceOver ends
with the phrase "1 of 2". For the Missed button, VoiceOver says "2 of 2".
Such index information is useful in multiple ways: indicating that the
buttons are part of a group of choices, conveying the size of the group,
and informing the user about the current position in the group. Just
placing buttons consecutively in an app, however, does not seem to
result in index information. What else is needed?
