Good morning Ken,
I haven't found a consistent way, but attempting to open the context
menu (VO + Shift + M) and selecting Open in Finder works with some
degree of reliability.
HTH,
Everett

Subject: iPhone development with XCode and VoiceOver
Good morning,
Last night I successfully built and ran a Cocoa "Hello World"
application for OS/X using XCode and Interface Builder with
VoiceOver. The next step was to build and run a Cocoa "Hello World"
app for the iPhone.
I would be happy to hear if anyone has found information that
contradicts the following.
Problem: Anyone can register and download the iPhone SDK and start
developing iPhone applications on their Mac. However, the iPhone
Simulator, which is where you test your app, is not accessible with
VoiceOver on the Mac. Indeed, a blind developer cannot test their
own application on the Mac.
After doing some reading I believe that the answer to this is to
sign up for the iPhone Developer program ($99 USD). This provides,
amongst other things, the ability to build and test your apps on an
iPhone or iPod Touch if you have one.
I would encourage anyone interested in doing iPhone development to e-
mail accessibility@xxxxxxxxx (they are normally very responsive) to
let them know how you feel about this (and anything else regarding
Apple accessibility). It just doesn't seem right to me that blind
developers need to pay $99 to experiment with iPhone development.
Thanks,
Everett
