AP-TRP-001 CRITICAL Verified by human · 2026-07-19

With VoiceOver on, the paywall modal cannot be dismissed — focus is trapped behind the sheet and no close control is reachable.

Paywall
close (chevron) control
voiceover
iPhone 13 mini

Evidence

attempt 1 · failed sample/rec-paywall-trap-01.mov

Reproduced in 2 of 3 attempts

Suggested fix

Expose the dismiss control to accessibility and make it the first focusable element; add an accessibilityAction of type .escape on the sheet.

.accessibilityAddTraits(.isButton)
.accessibilityLabel("Close")
.accessibilityAction(.escape) { dismiss() }

AP-TRP-001 CRITICAL Verified by human · 2026-07-19

Deleting a photo requires a swipe gesture that VoiceOver users cannot perform — there is no equivalent accessible action, so the destructive step is unreachable.

Library
photo cell (swipe-to-delete)
voiceover
iPhone 13 mini

Evidence

attempt 1 · failed sample/rec-delete-gesture-01.mov

Reproduced in 3 of 3 attempts

Suggested fix

Add an accessibilityAction (custom action "Delete") to each photo cell so the operation is available without the swipe gesture.

.accessibilityAction(named: "Delete") { viewModel.delete(photo) }

AP-DYN-001 CRITICAL

At the largest Dynamic Type setting the primary "Export" button label is clipped to "Ex…", leaving the core conversion action unlabeled.

Editor
Export button
xxl-font
iPhone 15

Evidence

xxl-font · Editor sample/shot-export-clip-xxl.png

Reproduced in 3 of 3 attempts

Suggested fix

Let the button size to its content and allow the label to wrap or scale; remove the fixed width. Verify at AX5.

Button("Export") { … }
  .lineLimit(1)
  .minimumScaleFactor(0.8)
  .fixedSize(horizontal: false, vertical: true)

AP-CON-001 MAJOR

The "Upgrade" link text renders below the AA contrast minimum against the card background.

Settings

default
iPhone 15

Evidence

measured: 4.33:1
required: 4.5:1
foreground: #6E8F86
background: #FAFAF8

Reproduced in 3 of 3 attempts

Suggested fix

Darken the link color to at least #0E6E5C (5.9:1 on paper) or increase weight; do not rely on color alone.

AP-LBL-001 MAJOR

The settings (gear) button in the Library toolbar has no accessibility label; VoiceOver announces only "button".

Library
gearshape button
voiceover
iPhone 15

Evidence

sample/src-gearbutton.txt

Reproduced in 3 of 3 attempts

Suggested fix

Add an accessibilityLabel of "Settings" to the toolbar button.

Image(systemName: "gearshape")
  .accessibilityLabel("Settings")

AP-DYN-001 MAJOR

The filter row truncates its last two options at large Dynamic Type, hiding "Portrait" and "Mono" behind the screen edge with no scroll affordance.

Library
filter segmented row
xxl-font
iPhone 15

Evidence

xxl-font · Library sample/shot-filter-truncate-xxl.png

Reproduced in 3 of 3 attempts

Suggested fix

Wrap the filter row in a horizontal ScrollView, or switch to a Menu at large sizes.

AP-FOC-001 MAJOR Verified by human · 2026-07-19

In the Library grid VoiceOver focus jumps from the first cell to the toolbar and back, so the reading order does not follow the visual grid.

Library
photo grid
voiceover
iPhone 13 mini

Evidence

attempt 1 · failed sample/rec-focus-order-01.mov

Reproduced in 2 of 3 attempts

Suggested fix

Group the grid with accessibilityElement(children: .contain) and order the toolbar after the grid in the accessibility tree.
