Building accessible apps is crucial for several reasons. First, accessibility ensures inclusivity by enabling people with disabilities to interact with and benefit from our apps. This is not only a moral imperative but also a legal one, as many regions have laws and regulations mandating digital accessibility.
Furthermore, accessible apps enhance usability for all users, improving overall user experience by promoting clear navigation, readable content, and intuitive interfaces. This leads to increased customer satisfaction and loyalty.

This speech aims to provide an exploration of Jetpack Compose accessibility support, highlighting its significance in modern app development with a focus on real use-case scenarios and the importance of synergy between designers, accessibility experts and developers. Moreover, the session will cover the strategies for testing accessibility in our apps including manual and automated testing framework.

By the end of the talk, you’ll have a comprehensive understanding of Jetpack Compose accessibility capabilities, the importance of accessible design, and practical methods for testing and ensuring our apps are accessible to all users.
The speech is addressed to Android developers of any seniority, and it will last approximately 30 minutes.
