1624729 - Introduce Mac platform mochitests

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Disability Access APIs, defect, P1)

Description

[Eitan Isaacson [:eeejay]]

We can easily emulate most of the OSX a11y platform interface that assistive applications like VoiceOver consume, since there is almost a 1:1 mapping between the assistive application side (AXUIElement) and the accessible applications (the NSAccessibility protocol).

If we exposed a getter on nsIAccessible for a "native interface" we can then return an xpcom wrapper that would behave similar to what assistive applications consume via AXUIElement and friends.

For events we can use the standard nsIObserverService setup that is already in place.

This will give us good coverage as we continue to work on Mac accessibility.
