How to disable accessibility for a view including all it's subviews?

Question

When I set isAccessibilityElement = NO on a view that contains subviews with isAccessibilityElement = YES, VoiceOver still detects them.

I need to switch off accessibility for an entire view hierarchy that must be handled differently by VoiceOver. How can I achieve this without having to loop through every single item in the object graph and mess with it's setting?

self.accessibilityElementsHidden = YES;

This makes all subviews hidden from accessibility.

I would try setting the accessibilityElementsHidden property of the main view to YES. If that does not what you want, I would try overriding the UIAccessibilityContainer methods on the main view to return 0 children.
