AccessibilityUIServer has microphone locked
Just installed iOS 18 Beta 3. I am seeing my AccessibilityUIServer using the microphone and this is causing no notification sounds, inability to use Siri by voice and volume is grayed out. If I start to play anything with sound AccessibilityUIServer releases the microphone and I am able to use the app. Calls still work since AccessibilityUIServer will release and the phone will ring. Feed back ID is FB14241838.

IPad OS18
since having updated my iPad with subject title update, I can no longer type French accents with my magic keyboard. The toggle between English and French is there, the actual key type is no longer available.

Disable Inappropriate Content Warnings in Writing Tools
I’ve noticed that the writing tools frequently display content warnings for certain topics, often more than seems necessary, and I would love to see a way to disable them in my app. Specifically, I have encountered many situations where mentioning LGBTQ topics triggers a content warning and temporarily blocks the user, while similar mentions of heterosexual topics do not. For example: Triggers Content Warning: “I’ve been listening to this song on repeat yesterday and today haha. It’s really nice that it’s about being homosexual ~u~” “I’ve been listening to this song on repeat yesterday and today haha. It’s really nice that it’s about being *** ~u~” Does Not Trigger Content Warning: “I’ve been listening to this song on repeat yesterday and today haha. It’s really nice that it’s about being heterosexual ~u~” “I’ve been listening to this song on repeat yesterday and today haha. It’s really nice that it’s about being straight ~u~” This inconsistency not only introduces unnecessary friction when discussing diverse topics but may also inadvertently suggest that LGBTQ topics are inappropriate or immoral. Such an implication could be harmful to many users, especially young adults, by reinforcing negative perceptions of LGBTQ issues. I believe it’s important for the AI writing tools to handle all topics equitably to promote inclusivity and diversity. And would love to be able to disable these warnings in my app. here’s a video showcasing the example prompts above: https://share.icloud.com/photos/0bdGPxy2xmGZT2ildAU4ThERQ

2.0 System Controls In Immersive Space
How do I enable the system hand controls within an immersive space? I have an ImmersiveScene and would like to enable the new 2.0 system controls like the home button and volume slider. ImmersiveSpace(id: appModel.immersiveSpaceID) { ImmersiveView() } .immersionStyle(selection: .constant(.full), in: .full) .upperLimbVisibility(.visible) While I can see my hands and arms in this view, I cannot get the "New Hand Gestures" to show up when on visionOS 2.0. When I leave the immersive space, they appear.

Expose ContextMenu as annoucable
I have a list of items that have swipe actions that I'd like to hide from accessibility and make actions available via the AccessibilityActions modifier. Additionally, I would like to make the contextMenu annoucable as an action. This behavior exists in the Apple Podcasts app but can't find out to do it in SwiftUI. If the users knows to use the triple-tap, they can activate the context menu but have it as an action of the element is even better.

Sheets and VoiceOver
Hello, I am trying to add an accessibility label and hint to a SwiftUI sheet's drag indicator but am not having any luck. Currently, VO reads 'sheet grabber, button, double tap to expand the sheet'. I'd really like VO to also include the current height of the sheet (similar to Apple Maps sheet). Does anyone by chance know how I can target the drag indicator/sheet grabber to do this? Thanks in advance.
