Accessibility support for charts (v41)

[seenajames]

Question

We are using victory-native@41.20.2

We would like to support:

• Screen reader accessibility (VoiceOver on iOS, TalkBack on Android)
• Per-bar interaction for E2E testing
• Reading tooltip content via accessibility tools

Since chart elements (bars, tooltips) are rendered via Skia on a canvas, they do not appear in the native accessibility tree.

Is there any built-in or recommended way to expose chart elements (e.g., individual bars and tooltip content) to the accessibility tree in the Skia-based implementation?

Are there plans to support accessibility semantics for data points, or is the recommended approach to implement a separate accessible semantic layer?

Thank you.

I'd love to know this as well. To get round this, I've had to build a separate AccessibleData component with text (that isn't visible on screen but focusable by screen readers) under the chart container which reads out the data behind each point. It works well but I feel it would be hugely beneficial for this to be built in
