Fellow #iOS #swift #swiftui developers. Do you know if the ButtonRole structure actually does anything purposeful? With #VoiceOver, I cannnot get any indication whatsoever about the button’s role, while at the AppleDeveloper documentation site: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/buttonrole, they state that such an info should be conveyed. Is there any visual indication of the role? If so, what?

.destructive will often use red color, that's the only visual feedback I noticed.

As far as I know, button role influences visual appearance (red text for buttons with a 'destructive' role in views/menus/alert dialogs, or a red background if used as part of `swipeActions`), and a 'cancel' button role will re-order that button to be last when inside an alert or confirmation dialog.

Since Button also functions a kind of labeled function to place in e.g. Menu or Swipe Actions, I there's a lot of surface area to check – that said, this kind of semantic tagging also pays off long term.

@dlx Of course I get it. I just was confused as I, as a blind developer did not see any indication whatsoever.
