accessibilitySources: An IBOutletCollection of UIViews.

In this extension, we add 2 properties to `UIView`: Since we try to keep all of our UI-related code in Interface Builder, and VoiceOver is just another form of UI, we have written a simple `UIView` extension that allows us to enable accessibility on most of our UI directly from Interface Builder. Making these UI elements compatible with VoiceOver often requires tweaking them manually, even if we use native controls. Another complication is that many portions of the app are controlled by the server, including a lot of the text for buttons and labels.

If an app uses Apple’s standard controls and UI elements, it will likely already work well with VoiceOver however, Lyft’s UI deviates enough from standard controls such that we don’t get that benefit out of the box. Lyft aims to make a product that is accessible and easy to use for all of our users. This has an especially large impact on visually impaired users, because our app is easier to use than the real world alternatives - navigating a train station or queueing up at a taxi stand. At Lyft we’re in a unique position: every day we work on an app that affects people in the real, physical world - not just the digital one.
