Description

AutomationProperties.Name and AutomationProperties.HelpText are not read by TalkBack on Android when placed on a Button element.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. SetText property on a button.
  2. Add AutomationProperties.Name and AutomationProperties.HelpText values to button.
  3. Enable TalkBack through Android Settings.
  4. Navigate to button, notice neither Name, nor HelpText are read.

Expected Behavior

I expect an experience more similar to iOS.

Text is not null, Name is Null, HelpText is not null
"Text. HelpText" is read by TalkBack

Text is not null, Name is Not Null, HelpText is not null
"Name. HelpText" is read by TalkBack

Actual Behavior

Name and HelpText are not read when Text is set.

* Read name and helptext without disrupting automation id.

* - Fix Merge

* - remove if/defs

* - fix Legacy Renderers

* - fix UI Test

* - fix invalid AutomationId with cell reuse

* - fix Container so it's not read by accessibility
