The .accessibilityElement(children: ) modifier with the .ignore argument does a similar thing to set the container view to be an accessibility element in UIKit. It is the default argument, so you can just say .accessibilityElement().

Two instances of the Stock Analyzer app showing you what it is included with the pro version and how much it costs. The first one uses .accessibilityElement(children .combine) to group three elements, and that causes VoiceOver to announce

Because of this, you'll need to use other modifiers to make it accessible and manually configure an accessibility label and value, traits... when necessary.

You can create your own accessibility elements from scratch. One use-case for doing that is when you do some custom drawing instead of building your UI using or relying on UIKit components. A circular progress bar, could be an example.

Day 73

What is the difference between isAccessibilityElement and accessibilityElementsHidden? The first one makes the view not accessible, but its subviews can still be accessible. The second one hides the view and all its subviews from assistive tech.
