See all on GitHub →Motivation was not reliably returning accessibility elements inside embedded web content (WebView), even when those elements were present and VoiceOver-accessible. Root causes: The path did not enable remote-content discovery options. Remote discovery could be starved when native traversal reported near-total frame coverage (common with full-screen proxy/container elements), because covered points were skipped and same/frontmost PID hits were filtered out. Coverage accounting included container roles, which could overstate “already covered” area and suppress remote probing. Implemented changes: : enabled remote discovery for describe calls by setting and default . : excluded web container roles ( / ) from base frame coverage; added near-full-coverage fallback probing (); allowed seen/frontmost/unknown PID hits in that fallback path to recover hidden content; skipped near-fullscreen proxy hits to avoid duplicate wrappers; kept explicit unsigned index conversions needed for strict warning-as-error builds. and : added translation-to-element mapping support in the translator double so tests can model frontmost-tree vs hit-tested remote elements. : added targeted regression tests: : retained test-only casts needed to satisfy strict sign-compare checks in this toolchain. Compatibility: No gRPC interface changes. No CLI schema/flag changes. Behavior changes are scoped to accessibility describe discovery and supporting tests. Test Plan 1. Build tests target: 2. Run accessibility unit suite: Result: (includes all new regression tests). 3. Build companion libraries: 4. Manual runtime verification on booted simulator: Verified output includes embedded webview labels/element. Related PRs None. I accepted the CLA
