## 2024-05-25 - Dynamic Labels and Disabled State Tooltips
**Learning:** Users can feel confused when a primary button is disabled without explanation or when a long-running action lacks immediate inline text feedback on the button itself.
**Action:** In SwiftUI, enhance button accessibility and UX by adding `.help()` tooltips to explain the required state when disabled, and using dynamic labels (e.g., 'Scanning...') to provide immediate feedback during async operations.
## 2024-05-26 - Expandable Section Headers Accessibility
**Learning:** Custom section header buttons with mixed content (text and icons) and dynamic states are often read poorly by VoiceOver, reading elements individually or omitting the expanded/collapsed state.
**Action:** Always apply `.accessibilityElement(children: .combine)` to mixed-content section headers, and explicitly provide `.accessibilityLabel`, dynamic `.accessibilityValue` (e.g., "Expanded" or "Collapsed"), and an `.accessibilityHint` so screen readers correctly convey the unified interaction and current state.
