How can I set accessibilityIdentifier to UIAlertController?

Question

This is how I simply create UIAlertController and present it on the screen:

private class func showAlertWithTitle(title: String, message: String) {

This is an old thread but someone might use this.

I was able to set the accessibility identifier like this:

let alert = UIAlertController(title: title, message: message, preferredStyle: .alert)
alert.view.accessibilityIdentifier = "custom_alert"
alert.view.accessibilityValue = "\(title)-\(message)"

alert.addAction(
    UIAlertAction(
        title: "ALERT_BUTTON_OK".localized,
        style: .default,
        handler: handler
    )
)

present(alert, animated: true)

That way I can access the alert by accessibility identifier and check its contents in accessibility value.

It is not perfect of course, but it works - at least for my testing using Appium.
