Custom UITableViewCell accessibility

Question

How can you set the accessibility of subviews of UITableViewCells individually.
It should not be accessible as complete cell?

Answer 1

Make the cell inaccessible and your subviews accessible in tableView(_:cellForRowAt:).

isAccessibilityElement = false
mySubview1.isAccessibilityElement = true
mySubview2.isAccessibilityElement = true
mySubview3.isAccessibilityElement = true

I got stuck on this too because I (trying to be efficient) put the above in my custom cell's init(style:reuseIdentifier:) method. But, that didn't work, probably because UITableView resets everything after initializing each of its cells.
