Description

I use VoiceOver on iOS, and I have found a few issues in AltStore iOS app.

  1. The image for beta releases in AltStore is not labeled.
  2. When attempting to install an app, the Free button is initially labeled, however when pressed, the label goes away and no progress is shown to VoiceOver
  3. in the My Apps and App ID's screens, the apps lists are blank to VoiceOver.

Research direction

Start in the AltStore iOS app by reproducing the three VoiceOver problems: the unlabeled beta-release image, the Free button losing its label without announcing progress, and blank app lists in My Apps and App IDs. Trace each screen's accessibility elements and verify that labels, installation progress, and list contents are exposed to VoiceOver when the fixes are complete.
