Six React Native accessibility bugs every app ships with plus fixes

Six React Native accessibility bugs every app ships with plus fixes

Original: The React Native Accessibility Bugs Every App Ships With (And How to Fix Them)

Short summary

The article identifies six common accessibility bugs found in every React Native codebase the author reviewed, including missing accessibility labels on icon-only buttons, ungrouped text elements, and insufficient color contrast in dark themes. Each bug includes a concrete code fix plus a four-layer testing strategy using @react-native-ama/core, testing-library queries, axe DevTools Mobile, and manual VoiceOver checks. With WCAG 2.2 AA now enforceable under the EU Accessibility Act and ADA lawsuits rising, the author argues for building accessibility defaults early rather than retrofitting later.
