Table 1: WCAG 2.1 Level A & AA

Principle 1: Perceivable

Criterion	Conformance	Remarks
1.1.1 Non-text Content (A)	Partially Supports	`accessibilityLabel` properties have been added to all safety-critical interactive elements across alert screens (AlertInProgressViewController, AlertStartViewController, AlertEndViewController), login screen, chat composition bar (attach, send, delete audio buttons), map controls (add point, cancel, search), and tab bar badges. Icon-only buttons (share, send, attachment, map controls) now have descriptive labels. Splash screen logo has image accessibility label. Remaining work: some admin and report screen buttons may still need labels.
1.2.1 Audio-only/Video-only (A)	Not Applicable	App does not present prerecorded audio/video content.
1.2.2 Captions (A)	Not Applicable	No prerecorded video content.
1.2.3 Audio Description (A)	Not Applicable	No prerecorded video content.
1.2.4 Captions Live (AA)	Not Applicable	No live audio/video.
1.2.5 Audio Description (AA)	Not Applicable	No prerecorded video.
1.3.1 Info and Relationships (A)	Partially Supports	Semantic grouping has been improved: section headers in AlertViewController (alertDeactiveTitleHeader, alertActiveTitleHeader, alertDrillActiveTitleHeader) now have `.header` accessibility trait. Alert title labels have `.header` trait. Chat message cells use `shouldGroupAccessibilityChildren` to group sender, timestamp, and message as a single element. Table cells in AlertSchoolCell and AlertSchoolActiveCell expose status information alongside school name. Remaining: some admin and report screen sections may need additional header traits.
1.3.2 Meaningful Sequence (A)	Partially Supports	UIKit default reading order is generally correct. No custom `accessibilityElements` ordering defined yet for complex layouts.
1.3.3 Sensory Characteristics (A)	Partially Supports	ConnectionBannerView now includes a `wifi.slash` icon alongside the orange background color, providing a non-color indicator. Alert active cells include text status (“Alert in progress” / “Drill in progress”) in accessibility label alongside color indicator.
1.3.4 Orientation (AA)	Supports	No orientation locks detected in code.
1.3.5 Identify Input Purpose (AA)	Supports	Login text fields now declare `textContentType`: `.emailAddress` for email, `.password` for password, `.givenName` for first name, `.familyName` for last name, `.telephoneNumber` for phone. This enables autofill and assistive technology identification.
1.4.1 Use of Color (A)	Partially Supports	ConnectionBannerView now uses a `wifi.slash` icon alongside the orange background. AlertSchoolActiveCell exposes “Alert in progress” / “Drill in progress” text via accessibility label, not just red/blue color. Police status in AlertInProgressViewController is announced via VoiceOver with text.
1.4.2 Audio Control (A)	Partially Supports	Chat audio playback has play/pause controls. Alert sounds managed by system notifications. No auto-playing audio without stop mechanism.
1.4.3 Contrast Minimum (AA)	Partially Supports	ConnectionBannerView updated from white-on-orange (~3.1:1) to black-on-orange (~5.7:1), meeting AA minimum of 4.5:1. UIKit default controls meet contrast requirements. Remaining: full audit of all 27 color asset pairings not yet completed.
1.4.4 Resize Text (AA)	Partially Supports	Dynamic Type infrastructure created: `UIFont+Accessibility.swift` extension provides `scaledFont` and `enableDynamicType` methods for UILabel, UITextField, and UITextView. `adjustsFontForContentSizeCategory` enabled on alert title labels. BaseViewController now responds to `preferredContentSizeCategory` changes. Remaining: migration of all 307 files from fixed font sizes to Dynamic Type-aware fonts.
1.4.5 Images of Text (AA)	Supports	App uses rendered text via UILabel, not images of text.
1.4.10 Reflow (AA)	Partially Supports	Dynamic Type infrastructure enables future reflow support. BaseViewController triggers layout updates on content size changes. Full reflow at 200% zoom not yet verified for all screens.
1.4.11 Non-text Contrast (AA)	Partially Supports	Standard UIKit controls meet contrast. Touch targets for share button increased from 24x24 to 44x44pt with proper insets. Radio buttons and checkboxes in AlertEndViewController increased to 44x44pt.
1.4.12 Text Spacing (AA)	Does Not Support	No support for user-adjusted text spacing yet.
1.4.13 Content on Hover or Focus (AA)	Partially Supports	Standard UIKit tooltips and popovers used.

Principle 2: Operable

Criterion	Conformance	Remarks
2.1.1 Keyboard (A)	Partially Supports	Standard UIKit controls support keyboard/switch control. DatePickerTextField now has proper accessibility traits and hint for VoiceOver activation. Confirmation checkbox label tap gesture in AlertEndViewController works alongside VoiceOver. Remaining: some custom gesture recognizers in tutorial and chat mention views may need keyboard alternatives.
2.1.2 No Keyboard Trap (A)	Supports	No keyboard traps detected. Standard UIKit navigation.
2.1.4 Character Key Shortcuts (A)	Supports	No single-character keyboard shortcuts.
2.2.1 Timing Adjustable (A)	Partially Supports	ConnectionBannerView animation respects `isReduceMotionEnabled` - when enabled, banner appears/disappears instantly without animation.
2.2.2 Pause, Stop, Hide (A)	Supports	No auto-updating or moving content in UI.
2.3.1 Three Flashes (A)	Supports	No flashing content.
2.4.1 Bypass Blocks (A)	Partially Supports	Tab bar provides section navigation. Section headers now have `.header` trait for VoiceOver rotor navigation.
2.4.2 Page Titled (A)	Partially Supports	Navigation bar titles set in most ViewControllers. TopBarView titles visible to VoiceOver.

2.4.4 Link Purpose (A)	Partially Supports	Icon-only buttons (share, send, attachment, map controls) now have descriptive `accessibilityLabel` and `accessibilityHint` properties.
2.4.5 Multiple Ways (AA)	Supports	Tab bar, search, and direct navigation provide multiple paths.
2.4.6 Headings and Labels (AA)	Partially Supports	Section headers in alert screens now use `.header` accessibility trait. Alert title labels marked as headers. Guidance title labels marked as headers. Remaining: admin and report screen section headers.
2.4.7 Focus Visible (AA)	Partially Supports	UIKit provides default focus indicators. Custom views still lack visible focus states.
2.5.1 Pointer Gestures (A)	Partially Supports	Most interactions are single-tap. Map SDK provides built-in alternatives.
2.5.2 Pointer Cancellation (A)	Supports	UIKit default touch-up-inside pattern.
2.5.3 Label in Name (A)	Partially Supports	Safety-critical controls now have `accessibilityLabel` matching their visual purpose: “Start alert”, “Start drill”, “End alert”, “Share alert details”, “Send message”, “Attach file”, etc.
2.5.4 Motion Actuation (A)	Supports	No motion-based interactions.
2.5.5 Target Size (AAA / EN 301 549)	Partially Supports	AlertInProgressViewController share button increased from 24x24 to 44x44pt. AlertEndViewController radio buttons increased from 24x24 to 44x44pt. Confirmation checkbox increased from 20x20 to 44x44pt. Map addMapPointButton and cancelButton set to 44x44pt.

**Dynamic Type infrastructure** - `UIFont+Accessibility.swift` extension created with `scaledFont` and `enableDynamicType` methods; `adjustsFontForContentSizeCategory` enabled on key labels
**VoiceOver announcements** - Police status changes, connection status, error messages, and badge updates now announced
**Touch targets** - Share button (24→44pt), radio buttons (24→44pt), checkbox (20→44pt), map controls set to 44pt minimum
**Color contrast** - ConnectionBannerView text changed from white-on-orange (3.1:1) to black-on-orange (5.7:1)
**Non-color indicators** - ConnectionBannerView now includes `wifi.slash` icon; alert cells include text status
**Reduced motion** - ConnectionBannerManager respects `isReduceMotionEnabled`
**Input purpose** - Login fields declare `textContentType` for autofill
**Semantic grouping** - Chat messages grouped; section headers have `.header` trait
**Accessibility helpers** - `UIView+Accessibility.swift` with `AccessibleButton`, `configureAsAccessibilityGroup`, announcement helpers

Remaining Gaps

**Bulk Dynamic Type migration** - All 307 Swift files still need font sizes migrated to use `scaledFont` / `UIFontMetrics`
**Admin/Report screen labels** - Some ViewControllers in admin, report, and sources modules need accessibility labels
**Text spacing (WCAG 1.4.12)** - No user text spacing support
**accessibilityLanguage** - Multi-language content not tagged per-element
**accessibilityCustomActions** - Long-press and swipe actions not exposed
**Full contrast audit** - All 27 color asset pairings need manual verification
**Full VoiceOver manual testing** - Automated implementation needs manual VoiceOver validation on physical device
