Overview
Accessibility Inspector shows the label, traits and value that VoiceOver and other assistive technologies read for any element on screen. It can run an audit to flag missing labels, small hit areas and poor contrast.
It works with the simulator, Mac apps and connected devices, and lets you change accessibility settings on the fly to test them.
