New technique pages • Show Borders — the Settings toggle that draws a border around buttons, previously called Button Shapes. The good example grows to fit the border; the bad one has a fixed width, so "Add to Cart" truncates to "Add to…" once the setting is on. • VoiceOver Automation Testing — driving VoiceOver from a UI test with XCUIVoiceOverService, new in Xcode 27. The bad example is a fake heading whose spoken text contains the word "Heading", so a test checking for that string passes on an element the Rotor cannot reach at all. New examples on existing pages • Text Fields — three bad examples using a prompt for placeholder text, which leaves the field with no accessible name. Includes one where the prompt's contrast is fixed and the field is still wrong, and a long prompt that truncates even with a vertical axis. • Scroll Views — a button inside a focusable scroll view that Full Keyboard Access can never reach, and a good example that makes a scroll view keyboard-scrollable without adding a button. • Accessibility Hidden — hiding a field's visible label to stop VoiceOver repeating it, and why leaving it in place is the better answer. Also in this release • Fixed two contrast failures that were inside good examples: the unread badge on Tabs and the Delete button on the A11y-check page. • Fixed the documentation screen reloading the page on every update, which lost your place and your back button.

New technique pages • Accessibility Custom Content — attach extra details to an element so VoiceOver can offer them under the More Content rotor, without lengthening the element's name. Demonstrated with a seat map where a seat's window, middle, or aisle position exists only in the layout. • Web View Dynamic Type — make text inside a WKWebView scale with Dynamic Type. • Motion Actuation — offer an alternative to a shake gesture for people who cannot shake the device. New examples on existing pages • Drag & Drop — accessible .draggable() and .dropDestination(), plus what breaks without an accessibility action. • Pickers — avoiding unexpected context changes when a control's value changes. • Videos — why auto-playing audio is a barrier. • Alerts — what goes wrong when focus is not returned to the trigger after dismissal. • Accessibility Sort Priority — how misused sort priority reorders what VoiceOver reads. Also in this release • New Explore by Touch prototype reproducing a tab bar that VoiceOver cannot reach by touch, with an in-page breakdown of the three causes. • Tabs now set a unique navigation bar title per tab. • Fixed sample video URLs that had stopped loading. • The Simulator's Hardware > Shake menu now triggers the Motion Actuation demo.
