Unable to set Accessibility Identifier for UITableView in iOS

Question

Not a big question however I am facing a dilemma. I am implementing some iOS UI Testing and I am unable to set the Accessibility Identifier required for the framework to my UITableView.

That whole section does not seem to be present in the Identity Inspector in interface builder.

Please see screenshot attached.

I attempted to do it programatically but it did not work as well.

I set the accessibility identifier as enabled and its value in viewDidLoad()

override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        // Do any additional setup after loading the view
        // set delegate and data source
        tableView.delegate = self;
        tableView.dataSource = self;

        // load the table Data
        tableData = ["Red", "Green", "Blue", "White", "Yellow"]

        // set accessibility identifier
        tableView.isAccessibilityElement = true
        tableView.accessibilityIdentifier = "tableView"

    }

It is just a sample app where I am testing the actual framework.

Any help is welcome.

I am using XCode 7.3.1

Answer 1

Try this:

    tableView.accessibilityLabel = "My tableView label"
    tableView.isAccessibilityElement = true

Answer 2

Not identifier, set accessibilityLabel, frameworks use that usually
