Why external keyboard does not trigger VoiceOver when a UIButton is selected?

When I set an UIBUtton as .selected using an external keyboard, VoiceOver does not realise the change, why?

Should I post UIAccessibility.post(notification: .announcement, argument: argument)?

Notice that VoiceOver is triggered if I set any UIButton as .selected using double tap

Solution

  • When using VoiceOver and an external keyboard, in order to select a control and run VoiceOver, you need to press option+control+space. Notice that blind user are aware of this combination although is not common the usage of VoiceOver and keyboard at same time.
