What Was Delivered

1. ✅ Centralized Accessibility Identifiers

File: iosApp/Helpers/AccessibilityIdentifiers.swift

A comprehensive, centralized file containing all accessibility identifiers organized by feature:

• Authentication: Login, Registration, Verification, Password Reset
• Navigation: Tab bar items
• Residence: Forms, Lists, Details, Actions
• Task: Forms, Lists, Kanban, Completion
• Contractor: Forms, Lists, Details
• Document: Forms, Lists, Details
• Profile: Settings, Logout
• Common: Loading, Errors, Search, Filters

Benefits:

• Single source of truth for all identifiers
• Easy to maintain and update
• Compile-time safety (typo prevention)
• Consistent naming convention

Usage Example:

TextField("Email", text: $email)
    .accessibilityIdentifier(AccessibilityIdentifiers.Authentication.usernameField)

Maintenance Guide

When Adding New Features

1. Add accessibility identifier constants

   // In AccessibilityIdentifiers.swift
   struct NewFeature {
       static let actionButton = "NewFeature.ActionButton"
       static let inputField = "NewFeature.InputField"
   }
   

2. Add identifier to view

   Button("Action") { }
       .accessibilityIdentifier(AccessibilityIdentifiers.NewFeature.actionButton)
   

3. Write test

   func testNewFeature() {
       let button = app.buttons[AccessibilityIdentifiers.NewFeature.actionButton]
       button.tap()
       // Assert...
   }
   

When Modifying UI

1. Check if identifier exists

   • Search AccessibilityIdentifiers.swift

2. Update if needed

   • Rename identifier if element purpose changed
   • Update all test references

3. Run affected tests

   • Ensure tests still pass
   • Update assertions if behavior changed
