Added a *Generate Accessibility Hierarchy toggle to the UI Document and Panel Renderer Inspectors, and the matching UIDocument.generateAccessibilityHierarchy and PanelRenderer.generateAccessibilityHierarchy properties, to opt individual components out of the generated hierarchy. The toggle is visible and takes effect only while the Generate Accessibility Hierarchies for Runtime Panels setting in Project Settings > UI Toolkit* is enabled.
AccessibilityFeature
Added experimental screen reader support for runtime UI Toolkit panels on Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows. The new *Generate Accessibility Hierarchies for Runtime Panels setting in Project Settings > UI Toolkit* makes UI Toolkit automatically generate and maintain accessibility hierarchies for the participating runtime panels of the application's main window, so screen readers (Narrator, VoiceOver, TalkBack) can read and operate UI Toolkit content in player builds. In this first version, only buttons, labels, and toggles (including controls derived from them) are exposed as operable controls; other elements are announced by their text when one can be derived, but don't yet expose control-specific roles or interactions. This feature is experimental and not ready for production use.
