official mobile-next mobilecli dump ui --format raw iOS identifier frame label semantics duplicate identifiers
💡 Result:
If you’re asking how to inspect iOS UI elements and handle repeated accessibility identifiers:
```bash
mobilecli dump ui --device <device-id> --format raw
```
The official quick-start documents `dump ui` with `--format text`, but I couldn’t verify `raw` as a supported format in the official reference. Check `mobilecli dump ui --help` for the installed version’s accepted formats. iOS UI-tree inspection requires the on-device agent. ([github.com](https://github.com/mobile-next/mobilecli/blob/main/skills/mobilecli/SKILL.md))
For interpreting the dump, treat **identifier**, **label**, **frame**, and **element type** as separate attributes; don’t assume an identifier is unique. If identifiers repeat, disambiguate using the element’s label/type, frame, and position in the hierarchy. Also note an open mobilecli issue reports that some iOS `XCUIElementTypeOther` nodes with accessibility identifiers may be omitted from the default/JSON dump. ([github.com](https://github.com/mobile-next/mobilecli/issues))

Preserve the compact label for ambiguous raw keys.
The raw iOS tree can repeat identifiers, and this key truncates each frame component. Two raw nodes can therefore share a key while having different labels. collectRawIOSLabels then keeps the later label, so restoreIOSAccessibilityLabels may apply one node’s label to another processed element. Mark conflicting keys as ambiguous instead.
🐛 Suggested fix
- const labels = new Map<string, string>();
+ const labels = new Map<string, string | null>();
const visit = (element: RawIOSUIElementResponse): void => {
const key = rawElementKey(element);
if (key && element.label?.trim()) {
- labels.set(key, element.label);
+ if (!labels.has(key)) {
+ labels.set(key, element.label);
+ } else if (labels.get(key) !== element.label) {
+ labels.set(key, null);
+ }

Recover native iOS accessibility labels from the raw dump when compact output replaces them with identifier-derived text. Skip ambiguous matches and preserve existing behavior when recovery is unavailable.

@yy54g5wktm-boom can you please help me debug this? is the app flutter? |
This screen is native iOS, not Flutter. The app running on a physical iPhone 17 Pro ( One important detail: I reproduced this with mobile-mcp 1.0.2, which bundled mobilecli 1.0.0.
The default JSON dump returned:
So the native accessibility snapshot contains the correct label, but it is lost in the processed dump path. I agree the proper fix belongs in mobilecli, with mobile-mcp remaining a thin wrapper. I have not confirmed this against current mobilecli 1.0.14/main yet, so it may be specific to the older mobilecli/device agent version. |

Summary
Problem
On a real iOS device, VoiceOver announces a button as
拍摄, andmobilecli dump ui --format rawreports:{ "elementType": 9, "label": "拍摄", "identifier": "btn:btn_home_add_hollow" }The compact dump consumed by mobile-mcp reports the same element as:
{ "type": "Button", "label": "btn home add hollow", "identifier": "btn:btn_home_add_hollow" }This loses the user-facing accessibility label and can make model-driven element selection choose the wrong control.
Behavior
For iOS only, when a compact label is absent or looks derived from its identifier, mobile-mcp requests the raw dump and restores a matching non-empty native label. Matching uses identifier plus truncated frame coordinates, consistent with the compact dump conversion. Raw recovery is best-effort, so failures retain the existing compact result.
