@Munitor no luck. This element not accessible. There are two ways:

- if you know that it should be there you can tap using ‘XCUIElementTypeNavigationBar’ to left part.
- as wrote Mykola ask ios dev (or you can learn yourself) make this element accessible.  
a bit help:  
in some function:

```auto
        private let myName = UILabel().id("myName")

	init() {
		super.init(xxxxx)
        ...
		accessibilityElements = [myName]

```
