Any developer aiming for a global audience needs to cover a series of requisites for their apps, and one of them is to make them accessible. Just having an app in the App Store is not enough for it to be a global success anymore. More than that, it is arguably our duty as developers to create inclusive apps that anyone can use.

Who This Book Is For
iOS developers wanting to add accessibility features to their apps and any other member in a mobile development team-from Product Managers to Business Analysts or QAs-who would like to incorporate or work with accessibility features.
Daniel Devesa Derksen-Staats is a passionate developer with a wide variety of experiences in iOS. While at university, he co-founded Desfici, a mobile development company, building in-house projects and also apps for clients, and he hasn't stopped developing for iOS since then. Daniel has worked in start-ups like the social network Bananity and MusicQubed, developing the MTV Trax music app. He has also been part of bigger organizations like the BBC, building the BBC News and BBC+ apps, Skyscanner, and now Spotify. Always trying to embed accessibility in the team's culture, he helps develop more accessible and inclusive apps. Sometimes he lets Xcode have a break and spreads the love for accessibility at conferences, such as AppDevCon in Amsterdam, AltConf in San Jose, SwiftFest in Boston, and MobileConf in Bangkok
