Ticket 32072 reported that the bottom tabs and buttons are unlabeled for screen readers. The tab bar was fixed in 0227fdf; the audit that followed found the same defect throughout, concentrated in five shared components rather than spread across screens. Fixing those five repairs an estimated 60-70 screens. BaseNavigationController replaced UIKit's system back button — which VoiceOver labels automatically and localizes for free — with a custom image button that had no label. 36 instantiations, under all four tabs, so every pushed screen in the app had an unnamed back control. NavigationBar's back/close/plus/info buttons are built from a bare Icon. The DashUIKit original does set a label; this app-local copy dropped it when it was forked. Restored here, and reused by NavBarBack/NavBarBackPlus/NavBarClose rather than duplicating the strings. 31 call sites. MenuItem rendered Toggle(isOn:) { } with an empty label, so every switch in Settings and Security — Face ID, Autohide Balance, Notifications, Voting — announced as an unnamed "switch" next to a title it had no connection to. It now takes the title the caller already passes, so no new strings and existing translations apply. 35 call sites. DashAmount drew the currency as an image, so amounts read as digits followed by an asset name and never said "Dash" — including on send confirmation, where the user commits money. The whole row is now one element whose spoken label is built from the same formatted string that is rendered, so the two cannot drift. 38 call sites. NumberKeyboardButton's keys are plain UIViews with manual touch handling; they exposed no button trait and activated only by touch fall-through, and the delete key rendered as an image attachment whose stringValue is a private-use glyph, so a blind user could not correct a mistyped digit. The keys are now accessibility elements with the button trait and explicit labels, and the spacer is hidden. Deliberately additive: no UIButton conversion, because the touch handling drives haptics and highlight state on the send-amount path. Five new catalog keys; Close, Add and Delete already existed. Baseline 665 -> 658. Verified with a clean dashpay build. Not yet verified on a device with VoiceOver running: the spoken results above are read off the code, and the keypad's double-tap activation in particular should be confirmed on hardware.

… ones From review of #1096. MenuItem.body is a Button whose label contains the Toggle, so both bind to isToggled and VoiceOver is handed two overlapping interactive elements with no way to tell which one an activation belongs to. Labelling the inner Toggle, as the previous commit did, named the switch but left the nesting in place. The row is now a single accessibility element: the Toggle is taken out of the tree and the Button carries the switch semantics — the row title as its label, a spoken on/off value, and the .isToggle trait. The Button keeps driving the state exactly as before, so behaviour and layout are unchanged and none of the 35 call sites move. Restructuring the component so the row *is* the Toggle would be the other way to fix this, but that changes how every call site renders and is more than a labels-only change should carry. Two catalog keys for the spoken value. Worth checking on device whether VoiceOver also appends its own on/off for the .isToggle trait, in which case the explicit value is redundant and should be dropped. Clean dashpay build.

Final validation — Phase 2 only (queue backlog)
Verified the supplied Phase-2 finding against head 6d0b48d. The keypad accessibility change leaves the screenshot test querying a digit as static text instead of a button; retain this as a non-blocking suggestion. Verification was source-based; no build or simulator tests were rerun.

- [SUGGESTION] DashWallet/Sources/UI/Views/SharedViews/Keyboard/NumberKeyboardButton.swift:172-175: Update the screenshot test to query keypad digits as buttons
Making the key itself an accessibility element with the button trait replaces its child label's static-text representation. However, DashWalletScreenshotsUITests/DashWalletScreenshotsUITests.swift:63 still uses `waitAndTap(app.staticTexts["1"])`. When the `_SNAPSHOT` flow reaches amount entry, that query no longer targets the keypad digit and the test cannot proceed to the send-confirmation and receive screenshots. Update the selector to `waitAndTap(app.buttons["1"])` alongside this accessibility change.

Support ticket 32072: "Please add support for screenreaders. The tabs at the bottom, as well as buttons, need to be labeled so that screenreaders can read them."
The tab bar the customer named was fixed in 0227fdf. The full-codebase audit that followed (tooling added in #1091) found the same defect throughout — but concentrated in five shared components rather than spread across screens. Repairing those five repairs an estimated 60-70 screens, which is what this PR does.
Companion PR in the design system: dashpay/DashUIKit#18. Its pin needs bumping after that merges; not included here.
What was done?
BaseNavigationController.swiftNavigationBar.swiftIcon; the DashUIKit original does set the label, this fork dropped itMenuItem.swiftToggle(isOn:) { }with an empty label — every switch in Settings and SecurityDashAmount.swiftNumberKeyboardButton.swiftUIViews with no button trait; delete key is an image attachment whosestringValueis a private-use glyphNotes on the two riskier ones:
The keypad is on the money path, so the change is strictly additive:
isAccessibilityElement,accessibilityLabelandaccessibilityTraitson the existing view, called fromreloadTitle()so the label tracks the key's value — including the function key thatDWPinView.mreconfigures to "Cancel". NoUIButton/UIControlconversion: the manual touch handling drives haptics and highlight state, and a rewrite there risks breaking amount entry. Activation rides VoiceOver's synthesized touch at the element's centre, which hit-tests to the same view. The.keyboardKeytrait was deliberately not added — it engages VoiceOver's direct-typing modes, which could double-enter digits.DashAmountbuilds its spoken label from the same formatted string it renders, so the announced value cannot drift from the visible one. "Dash" stays unlocalized as a proper noun, matching the deliberateText(verbatim: "Dash")atHomeBalanceView.swift:178.MenuItemneeded no new string — it uses the title the caller already passes, so all 35 call sites inherit their existing translations. Five new catalog keys inen.lproj:Back,Info,Decimal separator,Plus %@,Minus %@.Close,AddandDeletewere already there.Baseline updated 665 → 658.
How Has This Been Tested?
dashpaybuild succeeds (ARCHS=arm64, iphonesimulator). This took some doing and is worth recording:developdoes not currently build against either the platform checkout most of us have or the head ofv4.2-dev. Platform gained.seedBindingUnverifiedand.identityScanIncompletein platform#4426 on 30 Aug, whichDashPayContactAddressReadiness.swift:61does not handle; the last commit that compiles againstdevelopis255a5d60ca. That gap is not addressed here and will bite the next person who updates platform — it wants its own ticket.scripts/a11y_audit.py --checkclean; the 54 rule fixtures pass.Two things the audit tooling missed, found by reading rather than by rules:
NavigationBarElement.button(action:)(its label is theiconproperty, not a literalImage) and, in the DashUIKit PR, the currency chevron. The static rules under-report — they are a ratchet against regression, not a measure of how accessible the app is.Breaking Changes
None. No public API or call-site signature changed;
MenuItem's 35 call sites andDashAmount's 38 are untouched.Checklist:
