Description
A11yGate is an open-source Swift developer tool for testing whether VoiceOver users can actually complete important iOS workflows. It executes tasks, preserves machine-readable evidence, independently checks outcomes, and can use GPT-6 Astra for bounded planning and diagnosis.

Could you build this?
Partial While an LLM diagnostic wrapper is trivial, programmatic automation and deterministic validation of iOS VoiceOver accessibility workflows requires deep platform-level XCTest accessibility API hooks.
What it would actually take: This requires a macOS/iOS Swift test runner built atop XCUITest and private/public UIAccessibility APIs to inspect the accessibility element tree and simulate Assistive Technology gestures. The core difficulty lies in robustly capturing VoiceOver speech synthesizer output, interpreting non-visual navigation graphs, and bridging accessibility test artifacts into LLM reasoning loops without false positives.
