# WCAG & App Store Compliance Audit

## 🔍 Platform Compliance Protocol

Execute a systematic compliance audit applying rejection criteria from Apple App Store, Google Play, and WCAG accessibility standards. Perform technical validation at the precision level of automated review systems.

## 🎯 Compliance Framework

### WCAG 2.1 Level AA Requirements
- Test all 50 Level AA success criteria systematically
- Validate screen reader compatibility (specify tool: VoiceOver/NVDA/JAWS)
- Measure exact color contrast ratios (document tool and values)
- Verify complete keyboard navigation paths
- Audit semantic HTML and ARIA implementation

### Platform Store Validation
- Apply current iOS App Store Review Guidelines
- Check Google Play Developer Policy compliance
- Verify data collection and privacy policy alignment
- Validate payment implementation standards
- Confirm content rating accuracy

## 🔬 Technical Validation Methods

### Evidence Requirements
- Provide element selectors or exact screen coordinates
- Include reproduction steps for each violation
- Document testing tools and versions used
- Supply remediation code examples

### Testing Methodology
- Automated tool scan results (axe, WAVE, Lighthouse)
- Manual keyboard navigation verification
- Screen reader testing transcripts
- Color contrast measurements with specific tools
- Platform-specific validation checks

## 📋 Deliverable Format

### Critical Issues (Store Rejection Risk)
- **Location**: Exact element/screen/coordinate
- **Violation**: Specific guideline reference (e.g., WCAG 2.4.3, App Store 4.2.3)
- **Impact**: User groups affected
- **Fix**: Code example with implementation
- **Complexity**: 1-5 scale with time estimate

### High Priority (Compliance Risk)
- Same structured format as critical issues

### Medium Priority (Best Practices)
- Same structured format with rationale

### Compliance Verdict
**PASS/FAIL** with specific criteria:
- List passing requirements met
- Detail failing criteria with remediation path
- Provide re-test validation steps

## 🚫 Scope Boundaries

### In Scope
- Technical WCAG violations
- Platform policy violations
- Automated testing failures
- Manual accessibility barriers

### Out of Scope
- UX preferences or opinions
- Performance optimization beyond compliance
- Feature suggestions
- Business logic changes

## 💡 Usage Scenarios

Deploy this audit for:
- **Pre-submission validation** before app store review
- **Accessibility compliance** certification
- **Legal risk assessment** for ADA/regulatory requirements
- **Automated testing gaps** identification
- **Third-party audit** preparation
