Getting Started:

1. Clone the repository
2. Grab an API key from the settings page
3. In app/build.gradle, add your API Key in the AXE_DEVTOOLS_APIKEY variable

android {
    def AXE_DEVTOOLS_APIKEY = "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"
    
}

Once you add the API Key you are ready to start scanning the application using the espresso tests.

You can see accessibility testing in action through the ExampleEndToEndAccessibilityTest Espresso test or any other test in the androidTest folder. The androidTest folder contains examples of Jeptpack Compose, XML and UiAutomator. You can kick it off from Android Studio, or through an automated service such as Sauce Labs.

Note:

• This project is set to use the Android Gradle plugin version 7.3.1. Running the project with newer, or older, JDK versions may require you to update the Gradle plugin version accordingly. Please refer to Android's Updating the Gradle Plugin documentation for more.
