The European Accessibility Act mandates digital accessibility for services like banking to support millions of users with disabilities.
iOS provides tools like Dynamic Type to adjust text size and the Large Content Viewer to display non-scaling elements in a larger format.
Migrating to a bottom navigation bar created a conflict where a custom long-press gesture for profile switching overrode the default accessibility long-press for the Large Content Viewer.
The demo project is introduced, showing how to use Xcode's Environment Overrides to test Dynamic Type and observe the default Large Content Viewer behavior.
A custom UILongPressGestureRecognizer is added to the tab bar, requiring an algorithm to iterate through private subviews to identify the correct tap target.
The UIGestureRecognizerDelegate protocol is used to allow the custom long-press and the system's accessibility gesture to be recognized simultaneously, creating an initial UI overlap.
To prevent UI overlap, the system's default long-press gesture is temporarily disabled while the custom alert is shown, and then re-enabled afterward.
A final optimization adds a delay to the custom gesture when accessibility features are active, underscoring the need to consider accessibility early in the development process.
