What happens if I use an accessibilityIdentifier and an accessibilityLabel on same element? Will one override the other, will it still be accessible to a disabled user?

Accessibility identifiers are for only automation testing. They are not helpful for users/developers. You can use accessibility label/hint. Even if you set them both, they will not be overridden.

  • Unless you work in an organisation, I suggest you not to use accessibility identifier. There is not much use of them!!! – Teja Nandamuri Sep 16 '15 at 19:51
  • Thanks, I am adding Accessibility Identifiers to make my app testable through automation, and want to make sure if I have an accessibility label and identifier on the same element, that a disabled user will still be able to use the app feature via the accessibility label – mattman88 Sep 16 '15 at 19:51
