Jim, it depends on whether you are talking about native apps or web apps. For web apps you can use the standard practices for web accessibility. Regarding native apps, when screen readers are activated both platforms change how interactions work and place additional items into the swipe/focus order. Essentially under iOS if an element has isAccessibilityElement set to YES it is focusable with swiping. On android set the element to be focusable (e.g. android:focusable) to make it swipable or accessible with the keyboard.

Before I have specific questions, I was attempting to wade through the draft accessibility API document, and because I am only a dangerous coder, and like things in non-technical language, at least to start with, can anyone point me to somewhere that I can read to understand this so that I can go from a high level and then drill down to technical things? Thanks. JJim -- If building your own web site is holding you back, I can help.
