How to check if a particular element is selected or disabled in React Native using Detox?

Question

Theres an accessibilityState prop in React Native, I was wondering if there is any way to validate that in detox? or is there any other approach for validating element states?

Answer 1

Not currently possible, and I’m not sure if at all possible on iOS.

I don’t see how that state is mapped to the accessibility system on iOS. UIControl objects have the enabled property, but then again, why would React Native actually use native objects. Instead, they implement the wheel and that is not properly exposed.
