ios - can I set accessibility identifier in interface builder? Xcode4.2

Question

I can only set Accessibility Label in interface builder, but in UI Automation,I need Accessibility Identifier to get the UI elements. any way to do this?

Answer 1

The accessibilityIndentifier can be set in IB by using the Identity Inspector tab's 'User Defined Runtime Attributes':

Key Path: accessibilityIdentifier

Type: String

Value: Chosen accessibilityIdentifier text

E.g. setting a scroll view to have the accessibility ID 'ScrollView':

Note: This can only be used on items that have the accessibilityIdentifier property meaning they inherit from UIView. Also, typos in 'Key Path' will probably cause an exception when the item is loaded, I don't believe a compile warning/error would be given.
