I'd like to add borders to all buttons in the iOS simulator from my Mac app. First I get the simulator window. Then I access the children of all AXGroup and if it's a button or a static text, I add a border.
But for some buttons this does not work. In the example image the NavigationBarButtons are not found. I guess the problem is, that for some AXGroup the children array access with AXChildren is empty.
Here is some relevant code:
- (NSArray<DDHOverlayElement *> *)overlayChildrenOfUIElement:(AXUIElementRef)element index:(NSInteger)index {
NSMutableArray<DDHOverlayElement *> *tempOverlayElements = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
NSLog(@">>> -----------------------------------------------------");
NSString *role = [UIElementUtilities roleOfUIElement:element];
NSRect frame = [UIElementUtilities frameOfUIElement:element];
NSLog(@"%@, role: %@, %@", element, role, [NSValue valueWithRect:frame]);
NSArray *lineage = [UIElementUtilities lineageOfUIElement:element];
NSLog(@"lineage: %@", lineage);
NSArray<NSValue *> *children = [UIElementUtilities childrenOfUIElement:element];
if (children.count < 1) {
NSLog(@"NO CHILDREN");
}
for (NSInteger i = 0; i < [children count]; i++) {
NSValue *child = children[i];
AXUIElementRef uiElement = (__bridge AXUIElementRef)child;
NSString *role = [UIElementUtilities roleOfUIElement:uiElement];
NSRect frame = [UIElementUtilities frameOfUIElement:uiElement];
NSLog(@"----%@, role: %@, %@", child, role, [NSValue valueWithRect:frame]);
}
NSLog(@"<<< -----------------------------------------------------");
for (NSInteger i = 0; i < [children count]; i++) {
NSValue *child = children[i];
AXUIElementRef uiElement = (__bridge AXUIElementRef)child;
NSString *role = [UIElementUtilities roleOfUIElement:uiElement];
NSRect frame = [UIElementUtilities frameOfUIElement:uiElement];
NSLog(@"%@, role: %@, %@", child, role, [NSValue valueWithRect:frame]);
if ([role isEqualToString:@"AXButton"] ||
[role isEqualToString:@"AXTextField"] ||
[role isEqualToString:@"AXStaticText"]) {
NSString *tag = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%ld%ld", (long)index, (long)i];
NSLog(@"tag: %@", tag);
DDHOverlayElement *overlayElement = [[DDHOverlayElement alloc] initWithUIElementValue:child tag:tag];
[tempOverlayElements addObject:overlayElement];
} else if ([role isEqualToString:@"AXGroup"] ||
[role isEqualToString:@"AXToolbar"]) {
[tempOverlayElements addObjectsFromArray:[self overlayChildrenOfUIElement:uiElement index:++index]];
} else if ([role isEqualToString:@"AXWindow"]) {
[self.overlayWindowController setFrame:[UIElementUtilities frameOfUIElement:uiElement]];
[tempOverlayElements addObjectsFromArray:[self overlayChildrenOfUIElement:uiElement index:index]];
}
}
return [tempOverlayElements copy];
}
For some AXGroup the children are found. For some they are empty. I cannot figure out why.
Does anyone have an idea what I'm doing wrong?
