Hi I have a problem with these identifiers

I applied it like this to the tabbar

self.tabBar.accessibilityIdentifier = @"MyID";

and works!!!

But for tabBarItem I've tried everything but it doesn't work it's always empty

Called in viewDidLoad of my TabbarController

self.tabBarItem.isAccessibilityElement = YES;
[self.tabBarItem setIsAccessibilityElement:YES];

self.tabBarItem.accessibilityIdentifier = @"MyID";
self.tabBar.items[0].accessibilityIdentifier = @"MyID";

Nothing works. I always get empty

Do you have any idea on how to implement the identifier I want for each single element of the tabbar?

Thanks

Try setting the values on the root controller of each tab item and not the tab item itself.

@n3o999 Did you ever find a solution for this problem? I am currently having the same issue (tabbarItems viewIdentifier not present but tabbar viewIdentifier is present) but on tvOS. It seems to set it after forcing an action on the simulator.
