that are not perfect, but I have found it useful in the past.

Is the IBM checker a purchased product or open source?

*Subject:* Re: Accessibility testing an App
IBM Accessibility Research developed the Mobile Accessibility Checker
(MAC) technology to test and help automate more of the testing for both iOS
and Android native apps.
MAC also covers hybrid apps that have a browser component wrapped inside
the app - meaning the app isn't a web site that runs in the browser, those
are called "mobile web apps". We started developing it a few years ago
because there wasn't one out there...
See https://www.ibm.com/able/mobile-accessibility-checker.html
you can try out the technology by contacting us.
Both iOS and Android have released some good guidance and some checking
tools, but last I checked there wasn't a lot or any APIs for integration,
or automation, customizations, openness for adding custom rules, etc.
MAC technology was also available from SSB Bart's AMP for Mobile too.

Subject: Accessibility testing an App
------------------------------
Hi everyone,
I emailed a few months ago for advice on how best to check the
accessibility of a website on mobile and desktop. Your feedback was very
helpful - so thanks again for that..
We have now progressed on, and I would very much like to check the
accessibility of an Android and iOS app (ideally against WCAG v2.1). Can
anyone talk me through how this can be done as it is difficult to see the
code behind the App. Is it enough to run assistive tech on it (i.e.
VoiceOver, Talkback etc). or is there a way to look at the code as well?
Cheers for your help,
Matt
