Is it possible to do accessibility testing using Appium?

Hi all 👋, I would like to perform an general accessibility audit of the app that I’m testing using Appium. Is it possible for me to write a test that navigates to each screen of the app, scans the screen, and tells me things like any touch targets that are below 48px, contrast issues, missing content descriptions, etc.?

I was looking into Axe Core for WDIO but not sure if something like what I need exists for Appium to work with native or a hybrid app.

Thank you so much for your help! 🙂
