I want to add accessibilityLabel for some of my CALayer's. Here is the example:
CALayer *testLayer = [CALayer layer];
[self.view.layer addSublayer:testLayer];
testLayer.backgroundColor = [UIColor purpleColor].CGColor;
testLayer.isAccessibilityElement = YES;
testLayer.accessibilityLabel = @"Some text";
testLayer.frame = CGRectMake(0, 300, 100, 100);
This approach doesn't work for me. Is it possible to make accessibility working for CALayers?
I don't want to use accessibility container in superview (there is complex hierarchy)
Thank you!

The label is a very short, localized string that identifies the accessibility element, but does not include the type of the control or view. For example, the label for a Save button is “Save,” not “Save button.” By default, standard UIKit controls and views have labels that derive from their titles.
For a text input field, its accessible label would be a short description of the data the field collects. For a control that is a group of options, such as a drop-down menu or list of radio buttons or checkboxes, the group should have a label that describes the relationship of the options.
An element's Accessibility Label is the first string read by VoiceOver when landing on an accessible element. It's also the string used to activate a control in Voice Control. You should think of this as the name of the element. Set an accessibility label on your SwiftUI element using the modifier .
A string that represents the current value of the accessibility element.
AFAIK, A custom view built from CALayers does not have support for accessibility so I guess simple answer to your question would be no! You might want to check Apple's guidelines to create Accessibility for Dynamic Elements.
