Hi All,
Can someone shed some light on accessibility guidelines that one should for
Mobile native apps iOS and Android.
I understand that WCAG is only for the web and there can be some mapping
that can be done from WCAG guidelines to mobile apps but want to
understand if there are any set of guidelines for mobile apps just like for
web with A, AA and AAA conformances.
Also, if there is a GIF on one of the mobile native app screen which keeps
animating (no way to stop) but isn't that harmful or obstructs the user
from reading the content, does it fail under AA?
something similar:

Take a look at:
- "Mobile Accessibility at W3C" -
https://www.w3.org/WAI/standards-guidelines/mobile/
- "Mobile Accessibility: How WCAG 2.0 and Other W3C/WAI Guidelines Apply
to Mobile" - https://www.w3.org/TR/mobile-accessibility-mapping/
An animated GIF would violate 2.2.2,

Thanks Glen!
But is 2.2.2 applicable to mobile apps as I don't find this guideline in
https://www.w3.org/TR/mobile-accessibility-mapping/
Thanks once again!

Mobile isn't going to be spelled out specifically in any techniques or failures due to the historic nature of the requirements. The concepts apply to the SC.

https://www.w3.org/TR/mobile-accessibility-mapping/ is a draft and is non-normative. Also, Appendix A (WCAG Techniques that apply to mobile) links to https://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/mobile-a11y-tf/MobileTechniques/, which does include SC 2.2.2

That draft note is not comprehensive. It doesn't cover all SCs. It only
tries to clarify how some of the SCs can be/might be reinterpreted in
the context of native applications.
