From a3605bbfcc048c47f4a83daaec40f348572d642d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Marcus=20Ziad=C3=A9?= Date: Wed, 9 Jul 2025 00:50:49 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] Add accessibility labels to icon-only UI elements MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit This commit improves VoiceOver support by adding descriptive accessibility labels to all icon-only buttons and visual indicators in the app. This ensures users with visual impairments can understand and interact with all UI elements. Changes made: - Send message button: Added label "Send message" with context-aware hints - Navigation buttons: Added "Back to main chat" labels for back arrows - Favorite stars: Dynamic labels that change between "Add to favorites" and "Remove from favorites" - Lock icons: Context-aware labels for password protection status - Signal strength indicators: Descriptive labels (excellent/good/fair/poor) instead of color-only information - Unread message indicators: Clear labels for envelope and number icons - People/channel counts: Proper pluralization and descriptive text - Save/bookmark buttons: Labels indicating retention enable/disable action Technical details: - Used .accessibilityLabel() for descriptive text - Added .accessibilityHint() for additional context where helpful - Used .accessibilityHidden(true) to hide redundant decorative elements - All labels are dynamic and update based on current state This change ensures BitChat meets WCAG accessibility guidelines and provides a better experience for all users. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude --- bitchat/Views/ContentView.swift | 25 +++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 25 insertions(+) diff --git a/bitchat/Views/ContentView.swift b/bitchat/Views/ContentView.swift index 7271d677..996a41d4 100644 --- a/bitchat/Views/ContentView.swift +++ b/bitchat/Views/ContentView.swift @@ -184,6 +184,7 @@ struct ContentView: View { .foregroundColor(textColor) } .buttonStyle(.plain) + .accessibilityLabel("Back to main chat") Spacer() @@ -191,6 +192,7 @@ struct ContentView: View { Image(systemName: "lock.fill") .font(.system(size: 14)) .foregroundColor(Color.orange) + .accessibilityLabel("Private chat with \(privatePeerNick)") Text("\(privatePeerNick)") .font(.system(size: 16, weight: .medium, design: .monospaced)) .foregroundColor(Color.orange) @@ -208,6 +210,8 @@ struct ContentView: View { .foregroundColor(viewModel.isFavorite(peerID: privatePeerID) ?
