Guidelines for Developers Using VoiceOver

App Development and Programming

I thought I saw a post here a few days ago about guidelines for developers who want to make sure their apps are accessible using VoiceOver.

I can't seem to find it anywhere now on the AppleVis web site. Is there such a document? If so I would like to pass a pointer to it to some app developers so that they have an idea of what VoiceOver is, how it is used, and how they can make sure it works with their apps.

The only posts I found on this topic in this forum were from several years ago and I assume much has been updated.

Thanks.

Pete,

Apple has guides for developers on how to make their applications accessible.

iOS: http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/iPhoneAccessibility/Introduction/Introduction.html
OS X: https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/Accessibility/cocoaAXIntro/cocoaAXintro.html

Some additional resources for developers can be found at: http://www.applevis.com/information-app-developers

So where do developers find Voiceover Resources to make their applications accessible on the iphone, as the above link no longer works?
Thank you!

I started with the WWDC videos - they have a fair few on accessibility.

A big thank you to all the developers on this thread interested in making accessible apps.
