We probably can not refer this success criteria without taking into consideration it's conflict with both iOS and Android's accessibility guidelines. https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines/accessibility#Buttons-and-controls https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/accessibility/apps#large-controls
This success criterion is very tricky when adjusting it from web to mobile. It allegedly touches on the same problem but refers to almost opposite concerns. On the web, the concern is that users will be able to hit the element easily with the mouse pointer, which is relatively small, and the real estate on the laptops and desktop screens is relatively spacious, while on mobile, the input pointer is the human finger and the mobile screens real estate is smaller. For that reason, I think this is an example of a success criterion in which we must adjust its content to fit mobile devices; otherwise (at least in my opinion), we miss the goal of creating guidelines that will suit the essentials of mobile technologies.
A few interesting stuff I have found reading closed issues on the WCAG repository about 2.5.8:
Pretty much @AlainVagner I'd agree on those points. Do you agree as well or have a different thought? The 2.5.8 exceptions exempt most scenarios for testing.
@JJdeGroot could we maybe come back to this SC after some of the more well-worn A and AA SC have been discussed so that we can get through most SC in 2024?
This SC would need some additional documentation that differs from the "Understanding 2.5.8" documentation, for mobile apps, though I guess that could be a later version
@jamieherrera yes I do :) Just wondering if we add a note on 2.5.8 promoting a bigger touch target size on mobile, like 44 css px (or pt or dp), maybe we should also consider what would be the enhanced version of this SC, as there will probably be some impact on 2.5.5.
