Copilot

Body

Copilot for xcode doesn't work well with voiceover. Suggestions don't get announced by voiceover, and there doesn't seem to be a way to have those suggestions become part of the xcode autocomplete. I don't think there would be a way to integrate copilot quite that deeply, unless I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure it should be doable to have autocomplete suggestions trigger voiceover announcements. I would be willing to definitely help give more feedback on this. Copilot works great in vscode with both voiceover and other screen readers on windows, so this is definitely achievable I think.

Hi @deathdogg - as noted previously, the accessibility team replicated your issue but unfortunately cannot modify the codebase as Microsoft owns Copilot for Xcode. Your concerns and notes have been forwarded to the team working on it, and they’ll reach out if needed. Thanks again for taking time to provide feedback!
