Hi folks,
I have to audit a mobile app, but I don't think WCAG 2.0 SCs apply to it. I can create a usability report, but that's about it.
Has anyone done mobile app auditing and if so how did you approach it according to WCAG 2.0?

WCAG SCs do apply to mobile.
I've done many native mobile app Accessibility audits and approach it just like a WCAG audit but most of all the testing is manual since we can't use the automated tools.
I apply the same failures of WCAG to native apps.
See this info:
