Success Criterion 4.1.1 - Level A
Parsing
Ensure the source code of the app does not contain any errors and does not use any deprecated functions. Assistive technologies may not behave as expected when code does not conform to modern standards.
Impact
Users are excluded when an app does not work (properly) on their device.
Check
“Is the app technically well put together?“
We recommend that you regularly perform an (external) code review.
Solution

On Android you can use AndroidLint to improve the quality of your code.
Check if you are using outdated code. In Android Studio you can check this by selecting the following menu options:
Kotlin
Migration
Usage of redundant or deprecated syntax or deprecated symbols
