onAccessibilityTap does not work on Android

[Aksana-Tsishchanka]

Description

The official documentation https://reactnative.dev/docs/0.72/accessibility#onaccessibilitytap does not have any platform specific label, however this method does not work on Android.
TS documentation in https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/main/packages/react-native/Libraries/Components/View/ViewAccessibility.d.ts#L302 say it's IOS only.

But having accessibility actions for Android and IOS is extremely important feature. Could you please fix the issue.

Here the code that should call a provide callback on accessibility actions:

tech details:
I have the same issue with RN 0.72.6. Here is my code:

const a11yActions = [
{ name: 'add', label: 'Add the library' },
{ name: 'more', label: 'Open menu' },
]

<Pressable
accessibilityActions={a11yActions}
onAccessibilityTap={() => {
if (event.nativeEvent.actionName === 'add') {
firstButtonProps.onPress(event)
}
if (event.nativeEvent.actionName === 'more') {
secondButtonProps?.onPress(event)
}
}}

On Android when a screen reader is turn on, the bottom sheet with the defined actions appears but activation 'add' or 'more' does not call a provided callback.

Similar issue is reported here #34136

Steps to reproduce

const a11yActions = [
{ name: 'add', label: 'Add the library' },
{ name: 'more', label: 'Open menu' },
]

<Pressable
accessibilityActions={a11yActions}
onAccessibilityTap={() => {
if (event.nativeEvent.actionName === 'add') {
firstButtonProps.onPress(event)
}
if (event.nativeEvent.actionName === 'more') {
secondButtonProps?.onPress(event)
}
}}

On Android when a screen reader is turn on, the bottom sheet with the defined actions appears but activation 'add' or 'more' does not call a provided callback.

Seems the same issue is reproducible for the latest RN version

@Aksana-Tsishchanka Can you provide a reproducer? If possible in the latest version of react native

[Aksana-Tsishchanka]

Hey there, I can reproduce it with the latest RN version. However, after reviewing the documentation I found that another property which is https://reactnative.dev/docs/0.72/accessibility#accessibility-actions do the same and work for Android. It might be worth to update the RN documentation for https://reactnative.dev/docs/0.72/accessibility#onaccessibilitytap clarify that it's only for IOS and how it differs from https://reactnative.dev/docs/0.72/accessibility#accessibility-actions
