Description

The Talkback click command alt+enter does not work on Button or TouchableOpacity elements. I have also tried every combination of the various accessibility props on the button.

It does work with Alerts.

Reproducible Demo

1. Create new project create-react-native-app TestButton
2. Add a button to the App.js file

 <Button
        onPress={()=> console.warn('It worked')}
        title="Try Me"/>

3. Run on either emulator (With play store) or physical device (With external keyboard)
4. Enable Talkback Settings->Accessibility->Talkback
5. Navigate back to app
6. Use alt+enter to try and click button after navigating to it

Can you reproduce the issue on the latest release, v0.56?

[dbrezack]

@react-native-bot .56 is not fully supported yet. Still waiting on all the supporting libraries to catch up e.g.(create-react-native-app)

@react-native-bot I can verify that this is still an issue in 0.55.3

We're only tracking issues that affect the latest release -- there's too many open issues at the moment, so the minimum we require is that you at least confirm the issue is not present in the latest version.

In this particular case, please do try master as we just landed a suite of Accessibility updates (see http://facebook.github.io/react-native/blog/2018/08/13/react-native-accessibility-updates)

I was able to reproduce this in 0.56 using the following gist: https://gist.github.com/B3rry/43692b208fe610208af86b5e036b7cae
