Question

I’m hoping to use KIF to write functional tests for our iphone app. It uses “accessibility labels” to identify the UI items it’s testing. How do I set the accessibility label for a view in xcode4’s interface builder?

Answer 1

To set the variable programmatically you can use its property like this:

UIButton *someButton = [[UIButton alloc] init];
someButton.titleLabel.text = @"Your Button's Text";
someButton.accessibilityLabel = @"SomeNSString";

In the InterfaceBuilder — built into XCode 4 — you just have to select the UI item you want to have an accessibility label. The “Identity Inspector”, in the “Utility”-pane, offers a textfield where you can enter any label-text you want.
