Very interesting. I wasn't aware of the rotor control. Are there guidelines for how best to allow VoiceOver users to interact with "inline" links? Is the expected experience once where the label itself is the initial VoiceOver element and, when read back, links are read as "link". If the user wants to access the link, then they have to use the rotor and switch to "Links" mode?
I was attempting to re-create the experience that is found when using a web view which causes VoiceOver to recognize and read back links without having to use the rotor but maybe that's not how it should be done?
(Side note: My previous issue regarding elements not becoming recognized by VoiceOver until after they've been tapped on might have been caused by me overriding too many accessibility methods. After re-watching one of the WWDC videos, I realized that if I'm returning an array from accessibilityElements, then I probably shouldn't be overriding "accessibilityElementCount", "accessibilityElementAtIndex", and "indexOfAccessibilityElement". My bug might have been in there.)
