Description
Steps to reproduce
- Enable VoiceOver, the screen reader on iOS.
- Open the nextcloud app and there, open the Screen to enter the server address.
- Locate the buttons to log in or to open the camera
Other unlabeled buttons are in the screen to scan a QR-Code and between the tabs Favorites and Media
Expected behaviour
VoiceOver should read a label, like login or scan QR-Code
Actual behaviour
VoiceOver just says “button”
Screenshots
I'm blind, no screenshots are possible
Logs
If applicable, you can post the iOS app or server logs (removing any sensitive information).
Reasoning or why should it be changed/implemented?
The unlabeled buttons are a big problem for blind or visually impaired users.
Environment data
iOS version: iOS 17.2.1

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported screens in the Nextcloud iOS app with VoiceOver, checking the login, camera, QR-code scanning, Favorites, and Media buttons. Done means VoiceOver announces a meaningful label for each reported button; the issue names no source files or tests to run.
