<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>
