To set both accessibilityIdentifier
and accessibilityLabel
on a SwiftUI view, you can use the accessibility modifiers provided by SwiftUI. The accessibilityLabel
modifier allows you to customize the label of a view, which is used by accessibility technologies like VoiceOver. You can also use the accessibilityIdentifier
modifier to set an identifier for the view, which can be useful for UI testing.
Here's a basic example of how you might set these properties on a SwiftUI view:
Text("Hello, World!")
.accessibilityLabel("Greeting")
.accessibilityIdentifier("greetingText")
In the session Catch up on accessibility in SwiftUI, it is explained that the accessibilityLabel
modifier can now accept a view and will extract the text from the view to set it on the element's label. This allows for more dynamic and context-sensitive labels, which can be particularly useful when you want to append additional information, like a rating, to an element's label without losing the descriptive content SwiftUI already provides.
For more detailed information, you can refer to the session "Catch up on accessibility in SwiftUI" from WWDC 2024.
