Accessibility

Accessibility is SimDeck's universal inspector. It works with any simulator app and requires no app changes.

What It Shows

• Accessibility label, identifier, value, hint, role, and actions.
• Bounds and frames in screen points.
• Enough structure for selector-based taps, waits, and assertions.

Use it from the CLI:

simdeck describe <udid> --source native-ax
simdeck tap <udid> --label "Continue" --wait-timeout-ms 5000

What It Cannot Show

• Internal SwiftUI value trees.
• NativeScript, React Native, or Flutter component/widget structure.
• UIKit properties that are not exposed through accessibility.
• Source locations.

Use an in-app inspector when you need those details.

Good Uses

• Testing labels, identifiers, and accessibility quality.
• Driving apps you do not control.
• Building stable selector-based automation.

Coordinate Note

Frames are in screen points, not pixels. Use the simulator scale or inspector metadata if you need pixel coordinates.
