All,

Is there any standards for Mobile and desktop apps at the same standard as W3c? Also is there any standards for UI libraries used in desktop, mobile or web apps?

I am aware that MS and Apple have their own framework for accessibility. But I was wondering if there is any initiatives to try and have a single standard to cover accessibility for UI for everyone. As third-party vendors don't seem to follow any standards. Thus once someone uses a UI in their product and it doesn't have accessibility built in it or utilise the OS accessibility framework. The product becomes inaccessible.
