Summary: Pull Request resolved: facebook#37414 Previously, when focusing on a checkbox or radio button in React Native Fabric with VoiceOver, it wasn't announcing the role, e.g. "checkbox". Instead it would just say [label][state], e.g. "Automatically check for updates, unchecked". This is an extremely confusing experience for screen reader users because they don't know what kind of element they are focusing, including how to interact with it. "checkbox" and "radio button" aren't recognized as [Apple iOS traits](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uiaccessibilitytraits?language=objc), but we'd like to have consistency with the mobile safari experience.
