With the Accessibility Inspector you can check the value for the most common accessibility attributes for individual elements, do some basic navigation, and even perform actions if the component is adjustable or if it has custom actions.

Inspect labels, traits, and actions

Some of you have asked me how you can support what I do. This would really help, and would be hugely appreciated:
Find these posts useful? Share them at work, on social media, or with anyone that might find them interesting. Let's spread the word!
Check out any of my apps or games: Xarra!, RetroRapid!, or Mestre!.
A download and a review go a long way. They're free by default. On the App Store, ratings and reviews really help more people discover them.
Finding any of them useful? If so, and if you can afford it, purchasing lifetime access to all features or subscribing lets me buy the coffee that keeps me caffeinated. Caffeine keeps me going to maintain the apps, bring in new features that I hope you'll love, and keep writing.

With VoiceOver, you can swipe up/down to increase/decrease the value of adjustable components. You need to implement accessibilityIncrement() and accessibilityDecrement() accordingly, and configure an accessibility value that makes sense. Example code in the image: ```swift override func accessibilityIncrement() { guard value < 5 else { return } value += 1 accessibilityValue = "\(value) of 5" sendActions(for: .valueChanged) } override func accessibilityDecrement() { guard value > 1 else { return } value -= 1 accessibilityValue = "\(value) of 5" sendActions(for: .valueChanged) } ``` Links to the official documentation: * accessibilityincrement() * accessibilitydecrement()
The Accessibility Inspector can be used with your device. It is actually quite interesting to check what other apps (or iOS) configure, for some of the basic accessibility attributes (label, value, traits, hint...), in their UI components.
If you are using SwiftUI to build your apps, there is a fairly basic but very useful Accessibility Inspector built right there in the Inspectors Panel, on the right side of Xcode.
