Prevent VoiceOver revealing views that are beneath a larger transparent view
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
Summary: I want to replicate the accessibility behaviour of a UIAlertView, where the background view is still visible but VoiceOver does not interact with it.
Detail: I have implemented accessibility for an iPhone app, but have one problem remaining. In some cases I display a large view on top of all others (partially transparent, covering most of the original view) containing labels and a close button. i.e. basically a custom popup/alert view. The problem is, VoiceOver continues to reveal the views/controls underneath it.
One method to prevent the hidden views from being revealed by VoiceOver is to set the whole custom view background to be accessible. However, this isn't really what we want as this containing view shouldn't really be interacted with by the user, only its subviews (labels/buttons) should.

self.view.isAccessibilityElement = YES; Are you doing something like this? If yes, there is an issue coz I cant access the other UI objects for that receiver. eg. buttons, sliders on the transparent view.

I seem to have the opposite problem! I have a transparent overlay view over my (playing video) main view, that contains buttons etc (you know, the normal play/pause thing) but as soon as my overlay gets fully transparent (alpha 0.0) accessibility no longer reveals my buttons. What's going on here?

I think you should use this on your top laying view:
Objective-C
- (BOOL)accessibilityViewIsModal {
return YES;
}
Swift
accessibilityViewIsModal = true
This makes every element of the View Controller that is hidden unaccessible.
An implementation could be to set it to true when you show the view and set it to false when you dismiss that view.

You can set the following properties on the view overlaying the background:
view.isAccessibilityElement = false;
view.isAccessibilityModal = true;

I guess you meanisAccessibilityElement. I don't think this setting applies to a view's subviews does it? If not, I would need to apply this setting change to all subviews that are underneath the partially transparent full screen view, which would be a bit unwieldy.

Did you ever figure out a solution for this? I'm trying to solve the same problem right now.

Nope. Had to stick with making the custom view background accessible.

@ChrisMiles Just wanted to check, whether did you ever find a solution for this. And how are you making the custom view background accessible ?

self.view.isAccessibilityElement = YES; Are you doing something like this? If yes, there is an issue coz I cant access the other UI objects for that receiver. eg. buttons, sliders on the transparent view.

I seem to have the opposite problem! I have a transparent overlay view over my (playing video) main view, that contains buttons etc (you know, the normal play/pause thing) but as soon as my overlay gets fully transparent (alpha 0.0) accessibility no longer reveals my buttons. What's going on here?
