Code Review
This pull request correctly propagates the SemanticsNode.identifier from the Flutter framework to the native accessibility tree, exposing it as AuthorUniqueId for UI test automation. The implementation adds the identifier field to the necessary data structures and uses it to set the kHtmlId accessibility attribute, which is appropriate. The associated tests have been updated accordingly. My review includes a couple of suggestions to improve code clarity and maintainability: one to rename a new function for better cross-platform understanding, and another to refactor test code to reduce boilerplate.

agree with @loic-sharma , we should not use the htmlId since the data doesn't come from a web dom but flutter app |

Hi these changes are not working for macos and linux flutter apps, can you please suggest a workaround? |
Contributor

What is not working ? Has something been broken on these platforms ? |
accessibility inspector still shows the main window only when inspected in mac, even after adding the semantics |
Contributor

This is expected. This PR only propagates the semantics identifier to the cross-platform AXPlatformNodeDelegate. Native work needs to be done to expose the value through each native accessibility framework. See #175406 for Windows. Additional contributions are needed for Linux and macOS, but are not in my scope. |
Thanks alot for the details, any ETA for [#175406] to be merged to master? |
