[NFBCS] audible accessibility regressions

Hi all,

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.

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.


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.


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.


Thanks,

--
