Mobile Applications
Hong Kong’s mobile subscription rate has been one of the highest in the world over the years. With a high degree of penetration, many mobile apps are published by Hong Kong publishers delivering a wide range of applications and services across public and private sectors including the welfare sector. To cater for the special needs of disability groups in using mobile devices and apps, the following guides or practices may serve as useful reference to mobile application developers:
- Mobile Application Accessibility Handbook (OGCIO) – to provide mobile application owners and developers a practical guide on basic concept and best practices for making mobile applications accessible.
- Accessible Mobile Application Templates (OGCIO) – to provide sample codes incorporated with essential mobile application accessible features and a Developer Guide for individuals or organisations to build barrier-free mobile applications.
- Guide to Preparation of Procurement Specifications for Accessible Mobile Applications (OGCIO) – to provide guidelines on how to prepare the procurement specifications for accessible mobile application.
- Illustration on Mobile Application Accessibility Best Practice (OGCIO) – to facilitate understanding of the key requirements for mobile application.
