Mobile Accessibility Guidelines
This section contains accessibility best practices for native mobile apps built with React Native.
The guidelines follow the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 — the internationally recognised standard for digital accessibility. They apply to any React Native app, not just those using AMA.
Severities
Each guideline is rated by severity. Address all of them — even lower-severity issues can make an app frustrating or unusable for people who rely on assistive technologies such as screen readers, voice control software, or switch access devices.
Critical
These practices are mandatory. Failing to implement them results in an app that is completely inaccessible to some users.
Serious
These issues do not completely block access, but they create significant barriers for users who rely on assistive technology.
Warning
These are enhancements. Addressing them improves the experience for a broader range of users.
