iOS UI Automation element finds no sub-elements

Question

I\'m just starting out with UI Automation for my iOS app and am already having trouble. I\'m unable to attach screen shots so I\'ll do my best to describe my scenario.

Answer 1

When you set accessibilityLabel for an element and flag it isAccessibilityElement = YES; the subviews of that element are hidden. For automation, you should use accessibilityIdentifier instead of accessibilityLabel and set isAccessibilityElement = NO;

In your objective C code after physicianCollectionView is rendered, remove the label and accessibility flag and do this instead:

physicianCollectionView.accessibilityIdentifier = @"PhysicianCollectionParentView";
physicianCollectionView.isAccessibilityElement = NO;

For last elements in element tree, which do not have sub views, set isAccessibilityElement = YES;
