Steps to reproduce

  • Create a Textfield with a maxLength to show the label.
  • Turn Voice Control on
  • Say "Show numbers"
  • Character count label has a number, but doesn't have any action

Expected results

Label shouldn't have a number since it's not an actionable element.

Actual results

The label has a number, which is misleading

Code sample

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

void main() {
  runApp(const MyApp());
}

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  const MyApp({super.key});

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return const MaterialApp(
      debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false,
      home: Scaffold(
        body: Center(
          child: TextField(
            maxLength: 6,
            obscureText: true,
            decoration: InputDecoration(
              border: OutlineInputBorder(),
              labelText: 'Password',
            ),
          ),
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}

    I am suspecting it is probably showing number for some other control, need to look into it

    This appears to have the same underlying cause as #158477. For the password field, we generate an iOS accessibility element with the text "X characters remaining". However, we don't provide enough information on this element for iOS to determine whether it can be interacted by the user. Thus, iOS defaults to assuming it is interactable, resulting in the number to show up in Voice Control. I suspect the fix to #158477 will also fix this bug as well.
