Screen readers rely on the accessibility APIs provided by the Deezer app to show what elements there are, what actions they can execute, and to actually execute the actions.

ok Deezer outputs a tree of accessibility items.

ok: It also marks buttons as pressable 

fail: but they cannot actually be pressed. … no error just nothing.

 

=> The best example is maybe the playback controls with the play/pause buttons.

 

see inspector output: LOOKS GOOD but doesnt work

 

AXUIElementPerformAction(pressable, kAXPressAction) => this returns 0 (ok) but does nothing
