Ensuring Mobile App Accessibility with Zenyth's Mobile Audits

January 8, 2025

In today’s mobile-centric world, ensuring accessibility isn’t just a compliance requirement—it's essential for providing inclusive digital experiences. Zenyth’s Mobile Audits go beyond basic testing, helping businesses align with WCAG 2.2 standard. Here's how our approach ensures your app becomes usable by all, regardless of ability.

Why Mobile Accessibility Matters

Mobile devices are integral to modern life, and people with disabilities rely heavily on accessibility features like screen readers and voice control. Businesses that fail to make their apps accessible risk excluding a significant portion of their audience, impacting both reputation and revenue.

Zenyth’s Comprehensive Mobile Audit Process

At Zenyth, we understand that mobile apps are built using diverse technologies, and accessibility challenges can vary depending on the platform and development approach. That’s why our Mobile Audits are designed to cover a wide range of technologies and frameworks, ensuring no stone is left unturned. Here’s how our process works:

Automated Assessment with Advanced Tools

Our audits begin with automated scans to identify common accessibility barriers. Using tools like Google Accessibility Scanner for Android and Xcode Accessibility Inspector for iOS, we evaluate apps built with React Native, Swift Language, SwiftUI, Android SDK, and iOS SDK, as well as hybrid apps that leverage web technologies. These tools help us address issues such as missing labels, poor color contrast, and touch target sizing.

Thorough Manual Audits

Automated tools can only detect surface-level issues. To ensure a truly accessible experience, our experts perform manual audits, focusing on user interactions with technologies like VoiceOver (iOS) and TalkBack (Android). We evaluate accessibility in apps developed with frameworks such as SwiftUI, hybrid solutions, and native SDKs, testing for functionality, navigation, and compatibility with assistive technologies.

Recheck Process: Verifying Fixes

Accessibility doesn’t end with identifying issues—it’s about ensuring they are resolved effectively. Once you’ve implemented the recommended fixes, our team performs a thorough recheck to validate your app’s compliance with WCAG 2.2 AA standards. For apps built with technologies like React Native, Swift, SwiftUI, Android SDK, iOS SDK, or hybrid web technologies, we confirm that updates enhance accessibility. Additionally, we offer remediation services for native mobile applications, providing hands-on support to address specific accessibility barriers and ensure an inclusive user experience.
