# accessibilityPerformEscape()

Dismisses a modal view and returns the success or failure of the action.

## Declaration

```swift
@MainActor func accessibilityPerformEscape() -> Bool
```

## Return Value

Return Value YES if the modal view is successfully dismissed; otherwise, NO. By default, this method returns NO.

## Discussion

Discussion Implement this method on an element or containing view that can be revealed modally or in a hierarchy. When a VoiceOver user performs a dismiss action, this method dismisses the view. For example, you might implement this method for a popover in order to give users a deliberate dismiss action to perform that closes the popover.
