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.

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.


The Accessibility Inspector lets you configure on or off some of the most common accessibility options so you can conveniently observe how your app adopts these options in the simulator or device. You can also quickly select different text sizes.
If you are developing a custom component, that can change value, chances are that it will need the adjustable accessibility trait (VoiceOver will say: "Adjustable"). Think of a component that lets you rate from one to five thumbs up (or stars).

Too much data can overwhelm users. Very little is an incomplete experience. It is hard to find a balance on verbosity and the users may have different preferences. To help with this issue, the AXCustomContent APIs let you mark data as optional.
