Accessibility note (iOS / VoiceOver)
While investigating this issue, it’s worth noting that setting IsAccessibilityElement = true on the UIViewControllerWrapperView causes VoiceOver to treat the wrapper as a single accessibility element. As a result, all child elements (including individual cells) are no longer exposed to the accessibility tree.

This is expected UIKit behavior:
An accessibility element replaces its children in the VoiceOver hierarchy.

Therefore, I've removed the SemanticProperties.Description="Tags Collection"

Fixes #30891
Fixes #30749

Deleted the unnecessary SemanticProperties.Description attribute from the CollectionView in ProjectDetailPage.xaml to clean up the XAML and avoid redundancy.

Pull request overview

This PR removes the redundant SemanticProperties.Description="Tags Collection" attribute from a CollectionView in the MAUI mobile template to address iOS VoiceOver accessibility issues. The change synchronizes with fixes already applied in the maui-samples repository.

Changes:

  • Removed SemanticProperties.Description attribute from Tags CollectionView element to prevent VoiceOver from treating the entire collection as a single accessibility element, which would hide individual tag items from the accessibility tree
