Use these checklists to remind you what to look out for in your app. You can also pick and choose items for an audit, QA steps, or a PR checklist. While these lists don’t cover all the guidance from WCAG, they provide a good overview of the more common items you’ll see on Android.
Each item references the chapter in this book that covers the topic, so you can easily find where it is in the book.
Use this abbreviated checklist when you only have time to do a quick, initial pass. These are often quick wins and might work well for a PR checklist.
