Missing Accessibility Labels

Interactive iOS elements need accessible names that assistive technologies can announce.

What this rule checks​

This rule checks whether meaningful iOS controls and interactive elements expose accessible names through labels and related accessibility properties.

Why it matters​

VoiceOver users depend on clear accessible names to understand what each control does and to move through the interface confidently.

Common failure patterns​

  • custom buttons with no accessibilityLabel
  • image-based controls with no accessible name
  • duplicate labels that make multiple controls sound identical

Remediation guidance​

  • add accurate labels for meaningful interactive elements
  • make labels action-oriented when the element performs an action
  • verify the spoken output in VoiceOver after implementation
