Hello,
I am trying to get better at making apps accessible, and I found a nice
exercise:
For some other purpose, I created a sample app that contains a map view. It
sounds like it could be accessible, because it really only serves two purposes:
* It shows the current user location. With a button, the user can set a new
marker at this location
* It shows the previously set markers (MKAnnotations), which show callouts when
selected that allow you to see details.
By default, the Map View will zoom to show all the Annotations, so it sounds
like even a blind user should be able to use the app.
What actually happens, without giving any accessibility hints to anything:
The MKMapView reads POIs on the map (which are not selectable). The Annotations
are not read, nor is the current location
I see that in iOS 16, there is a new MKMapFeatureOptions — is this what I would
want to use? And is there a way to achieve my goal — mainly reading the
existing markers on the map, without reading the POIs — in iOS 15?
Thanks
Alex
