I’ve been working on improving VoiceOver support for Delivery Status touch 3.0. It was pretty simple for the most part, but there are a couple of things in particular that I struggled with. I couldn’t find much information about this elsewhere, so I thought I’d share.
The first problem was adding accessibility labels to a UISegmentedControl. It should be automatic if you’re using text labels for the segments, but if you’re using images, there’s no obvious way to do it. After a lot of trial… Read more »

This weekend my new 13" MacBook Pro started making a noise so horrible that it woke up my fiancée. (It didn’t stir me the slightest, but not much does.)

I made an appointment at the local Apple Store as soon as possible.
I did some reading online and it sounded like most people were able to get… Read more »

We’ve been getting a lot of requests for Push Notifications in Delivery Status touch—so you can see when your package status updates even if Delivery Status is closed. This is something I’d love to have as well, but it’s complicated and it may take some time. In order to handle Push Notifications properly, all of your tracking information would need to be stored on our server. Our server would then use that information to check your status every hour or so. If it noticed a change, it would… Read more »
