Hi,
PC and Mac screen readers have some ability to take a bit of a deeper look at behind the scenes attributes. On Mobile, I'm looking for a non-technical solution or solutions for testing things like the new target size requirements. Does anyone know of a way for someone with limited knowledge of code can do testing reliably for such requirements using native mobile with or without screen readers? This would be people who are not developers and who do not have access to source code.

Thanks.

Jim

have you tried the accessibility scanner that google makes or the axe one.
googles scanner works on both android and ios and i think the axe one
does as well.
the ios ones however need you to have dev access to the app because of ios
security. on android i know that the accessibility scanner runs on top of
any app

With an iPhone you can connect it to the desktop and use the inspect feature. There's a few tricksy bits IIRC. I think that there was a change recently to require dev suite but that may have been only for running the phone against a local build on the laptop so irrelevant to your use case.
