If you were wondering whether the new #Sonos app is as bad with #VoiceOver as people said, I can confirm that it is.
The first element that receives focus has no #accessible role or name, i.e. VoiceOver doesn't announce anything for it. The screen is split up into sections, like "Recently Played", "Your Services", and "Sonos Favourites", but none of these have headings. And, as previously noted, explore by touch doesn't work; VO seems to just see that blank element I mentioned as being stretched across the entire screen.
As a result of all this, the "Search" button requires 32 swipes from the top of the screen to reach, at least with my setup. If you have more services and/or more favourites, that number of swipes will be higher. #accessibility
@jscholes That, and on my iPhone with system language set to German, the UI does show up in German but is spoken by VO using an English voice, probably because the localization settings are not correctly configured and so all the German strings are marked up as being in English. This truly is a huge #accessibility#fail.
