<p>Hello,</p>
<p>I'm glad that people are on these issues. I can not test to
verify the miniplayer issues.</p>
<p>I am on IOS 26.3 (not beta) and running Audible 4.64 with no
updates to be installed.</p>
<p>If I navigate to my library tab, all of the books that can be
played or downloaded that are previously given a button role still
have the button role, but they also say "has popup button." after
the button role is announced.</p>
<p>Activating any of these either does nothing, in the case of being
able to play, or gives me a blank screen. Dragging my finger
around the screen to explore receives no feedback. The only way
I've found to get controls back is to close Audible in the app
switcher, then open it again. Turning Voiceover off and back on
again does not help.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Thanks,</p>
<p><br>

<p>Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>I'm curious if anyone has connections to anyone who can file
these to be fixed. Audible has introduced two recent bugs that
are horrible for accessibility: one where the miniplayer
button you can activate to expand does not work, and another
much more frustrating issue where the button to activate a
book title in your library is treated as a popup button.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>This has a hint of "double tap to activate the picker," and
reads as "button popup button," but there is not a menu
presented. This means that it's now impossible to
download/play books with Voiceover on IOS.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p>I've reported the issue to Apple, because Voiceover shouldn't
hit this point and present a blank screen, but I'm also
concerned at how many issues Audible has introduced in terms
of accessibility.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p>I'd be happy to connect with anyone, or feel free if you know
of someone to just pass this along if that works better.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p>Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
