Set accessibility name

In Jetpack Compose, the contentDescription.contentDescription()) attribute is used to set an accessibility name.

kotlin

Box(modifier = Modifier.semantics {
    contentDescription = "Appt"
}) {
    // Box content...
}

In SwiftUI, the accessibilityLabel-7rljm) property is used as accessibility name.

swift

Button {
    // Button action
} label: {
    Image(systemName: "magnifyingglass")
        // Set accessibility label
        .accessibilityLabel("Search")
}
