Dear list,
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to go about doing ios and
android mobile accessibility testing? What is your test process like
when doing mobile testing? Thanks.

Sincerely,
Nathan Clark

Assuming you mean native apps (rather than web content), we usually test
the actual "finished" closed app itself, rather than having access to
anything like the Xcode project or similar. For this reason, our testing
is usually mostly functional/focused on what the actual
effect/functionality is, rather than being able to deep-dive into code
to check things. So, for the most part:

* using the app on the target phone/tablet
* check if it adapts/reacts correctly to landscape/portrait shifts
* pairing a bluetooth keyboard and checking for keyboard access
* running VoiceOver/TalkBack
* using Accessibility Scanner on Android
https://support.google.com/accessibility/android/answer/6376570?hl=en-GB
* taking screenshots on device, then going over those screenshots with
Colour Contrast Analyser on a desktop/laptop (as using something like a
remote screen mirroring solution usually degrades/recompresses the
image, leading to inaccurate results)

Depending on the app/project, we may also check additional things like
Voice Control, reduced motion settings, change OS text size preferences,
etc.
