Hi everyone! Apologies for the late update - in case you missed it, this was fixed earlier this summer by #14089. All the awesome fixes @PureWeen made in this PR are set up behind an Accessibility_Experimental flag, which is available in XF 5.0.0.2083 and later versions.

If you aren't familiar with experimental flags, you can read more about them here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/xamarin-forms/internals/experimental-flags. But in short, after updating XF, enable the flag by adding the following to your code-behind, after the InitializeComponent and before setting the MainPage:

Xamarin.Forms.Device.SetFlags(new List<string> { "Accessibility_Experimental"});

Furthermore, be sure to check out the new SemanticEffects properties in XCT which also circumvents the AutomationID issue. These can also be applied to your XF projects, and reflect the properties that will be brought into .NET MAUI as well.

Hope this helps, and let us know if you have more questions! :)
