Summary:
Since TouchableHighlight and TouchableOpacity are being exported using `forwardRef`, it's messing up jest's snapshots and some matchers.
This commit 4b935ae95f fixed this for components being mocked on [setup.js](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/master/jest/setup.js). However, these Touchables aren't being mocked.

This PR removes most of the tvOS remnants in the code. Most of the changes are related to the tvOS platform removal from `.podspec` files, tvOS specific conditionals removal (Obj-C + JS) or tvOS CI/testing pipeline related code.
In addition to the changes listed above I have removed the deprecated `Platform.isTVOS` method. I'm not sure how `Platform.isTV` method is correlated with Android TV devices support which is technically not deprecated in the core so I left this method untouched for now.

Summary:
Fixes https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/28726
When importing TouchableOpacity, it is treated as any by Flow. Replacing ComponentType with AbstractComponent works.
The [Flow documentation](https://flow.org/en/docs/react/types/#toc-react-componenttype) says the following about ComponentType:
> Note: In 0.89.0+, React.ComponentType is an alias for React.AbstractComponent<Config, any>, which represents a component with config type Config and any instance type.
So I'm thinking that since the instance type is treated as any with ComponentType, Flow treats TouchableOpacity as any as well.

Summary:
A few recent imports have explicitly added ".js" to the end of their path. This prevents Metro from resolving platform-specific JS files, e.g. "Foo.android.js" or "Foo.windows.js" instead of "Foo.js".
React Native Windows provides its own implementation of files in a few cases where stock React Native will share them between Android and iOS. We hope to reduce/eliminate these long term, but requiring explicit ".js" files currently breaks us in a couple of places where we have custom implementations.
This change is a quick regex replace of ES6 and CommonJS imports in 'Libraries/" to eliminate ".js".

Summary:
Refactors `Pressability` so that updates to the configuration are now explicitly committed using `configure()`.
Previously, the configuration was updated implicitly because `Pressability` accepted a series of functions whose closures capture values (e.g. `this.props`). Although these changes typically happen when component instances are "atomically" updated by React, it is not a guarantee. For example, arbitrary instance variables could be used to configure `Pressability`, and they could be muted at any time.
This change makes updates to the configuration of `Pressability` more predictable.

Summary:
We added a test to make sure button and accessibility actions would not have unwanted behavior. Additionally we added support for accessibility actions for all touchables. However we discovered that RCTTextView and possibly anything else that does not derive from RCTView does not support accessibility actions and need to be children off a component that does support it for it to not crash in ios. This became noticeable when TouchableWithoutFeedback only worked if text is a child of view on ios.
In a local branch we where able to modify RCTTextView to support accessibility actions and text no longer needed to be a child of view for it to work.
## Changelog
[General] [Added] - Button test with accessibility actions
[General] [Added] - Support for accessibility actions to all Touchables. With TouchableWithoutFeedback being a special case where text must be a child of view. (See AccessibilityExample.js for an example)

Summary:
As currently defined, accessibilityStates is an array of strings, which represents the state of an object. The array of strings notion doesn't well encapsulate how various states are related, nor enforce any level of correctness.
This PR converts accessibilityStates to an object with a specific definition. So, rather than:
<View
...
accessibilityStates={['unchecked']}>
We have:
<View
accessibilityStates={{'checked': false}}>
And specifically define the checked state to either take a boolean or the "mixed" string (to represent mixed checkboxes).
We feel this API is easier to understand an implement, and provides better semantic definition of the states themselves, and how states are related to one another.

This is the next step in moving RN towards standard path-based requires. All the requires in `Libraries` have been rewritten to use relative requires with a few exceptions, namely, `vendor` and `Renderer/oss` since those need to be changed upstream. This commit uses relative requires instead of `react-native/...` so that if Facebook were to stop syncing out certain folders and therefore remove code from the react-native package, internal code at Facebook would not need to change.

Summary:
Previously, I created two props, `accessibilityRole` and `accessibilityStates` for view. These props were intended to be a cross-platform solution to replace `accessibilityComponentType` on Android and `accessibilityTraits` on iOS.
In this stack, I ran a code mod to replace instances of the two old properties used in our codebase with the new ones.
For this diff, I did a search for all the remnant uses of `accessibilityComponentType` that was not caught by my script, and I manually changed them to `accessibilityRole` and `accessibilityStates`. If the same prop also set `accessibilityTraits` I also removed that here because the two new props works on both platforms.
It was difficult to write a script for this, because most of them were contextual changes.
Out of the contextual changes, most of them followed one of these two patterns:
Before:
```
const accessibilityComponentType = 'button';
const accessibilityTraits = ['button'];
if (this.props.checked) {
accessibilityTraits.push('selected');
}
if (this.props.disabled) {
accessibilityTraits.push('disabled');
}
contentView = (
<AdsManagerTouchableHighlight
accessibilityComponentType={accessibilityComponentType}
accessibilityTraits={accessibilityTraits}
```
After:
const accessibilityRole = 'button';
const accessibilityStates = [];
if (this.props.checked) {
accessibilityStates.push('selected');
}
if (this.props.disabled) {
accessibilityStates.push('disabled');
}
contentView = (
<AdsManagerTouchableHighlight
accessibilityRole={accessibilityRole}
accessibilityStates={accessibilityStates}
Before:
```
<PressableBackground
accessible={this.props.accessible}
accessibilityLabel={this.props.accessibilityLabel}
accessibilityTraits={this.props.accessibilityTraits}
```
After:
```
<PressableBackground
accessible={this.props.accessible}
accessibilityLabel={this.props.accessibilityLabel}
accessibilityRole={this.props.accessibilityRole}
accessibilityRole={this.props.accessibilityStates}
```
In addition to changing the props on the components,
Another fix I had to do was to add props accessibilityRole and accessibilityStates to components that don't directly inherit properties from view including text input and touchables.

Summary:
This adds the accessibilityHint for View, Text and Touchable* on iOS.
The accessibilityHint provides some more information about an element
when the accessibilityLabel is not enough.
The accessibilityHint is a core accessibility property on iOS.
From https://developer.apple.com/documentation/objectivec/nsobject/1615093-accessibilityhint:
> An accessibility hint helps users understand what will happen when they perform an action on the accessibility element when that result is not obvious from the accessibility label.
Related issue: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/14706
The npm scripts `test`, `flow`, `lint` and `prettier` are satisfied.
I added a couple of examples to the RNTester app. The Accessibility Inspector on Mac helps debugging accessibility stuff on a simulator, but it does not show the accessibilityHint. Therefore I tested the RNTester app on an iPhone 8 device using VoiceOver to verify the hint functionality. It works fine, and I've tested disabling and enabling "read hints" in the VoiceOver settings on the phone.

* To be on par with Apple TV support, this makes it possible to run React Native apps on Android TV devices (See also: https://react-native.canny.io/feature-requests/p/android-tv-support)
* These changes also make it possible to navigate through the app using D-PAD buttons that are present on some mobile devices
* Since these changes affect, among others, `ReactRootView.java` and `Touchable.js` code and are closely related to Apple TV implementation, it makes sense for them to be included in the core
- React native apps can be launched on Android TV devices and properly render their content
- Navigation is possible using left, right, top, bottom arrows from the remote (or D-PAD)
- Touchable components can handle D-PAD center button press events and correctly fire their `onPress` handlers
- Touchable components will receive `onPressIn` and `onPressOut` events and can react to focus/blur changes appropriately (just like on Apple TV)
- `Platform` constants allow to check if the react-native app is running on TV (`Platform.isTV`)
- `ScrollView`s behave correctly (same as native implementation) when switching to view outside bounds – that is, the container would scroll such that the newly focused element is fully visible
- Native "clicking" sounds are played when moving between focusable elements
- Play/Pause click event is send to `TVEventHandler`
- Rewind and FastForward events are send to `TVEventHandler`
- Back button behaves as a normal Android back button
- Diagonal buttons work correctly on Android TV, e.g. if there is no button directly to the right from the focused one, but there is one to the right but a bit higher/lower it will grab focus
- Dev menu can be accessed by long pressing fast forward button
A demo showing RNTester app running on Android TV device (Amazon Fire TV Stick) can be found here:
[](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzIQErHhY20)
- `TextInput` will not work on Android TV devices. There's an issue with native `ReactEditText` implementation that prevents it from receiving focus. This makes it impossible to navigate to `TextInput`.
This will be fixed next, but will be included in a separate Pull Request
- ~Overlay permissions cannot be granted on Android TV devices running Android version >= 6.0
This is because the overlay permission can only be granted by firing an Intent to open settings page (`ACTION_MANAGE_OVERLAY_PERMISSION`). Since this page does not exist on TV devices the permission cannot be requested. This will make the app crash when trying to open dev menu (⌘+M) or displaying a redbox error.
Note: This does not affect devices running Android version < 6.0 (for example Amazon Fire TV Stick)~
This is now fixed by: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/16596
* Launch the RNTester app on Android TV device.
* Ensure it launches without a crash
* Ensure basic navigation is possible
* Ensure Touchable components can receive select events

[RNAndroidTVDemo video](http://img.youtube.com/vi/EzIQErHhY20/0.jpg)
* Added `ReactAndroidTVViewManager` that handles TV `KeyEvent`s and dispatches events to JS - This is the core that enables basic navigation functionality on Android TV devices
* Following the above change we copy `TVEventHandler.ios.js` into `TVEventHandler.android.js` to enable JS to pick up those native navigation events and dispatch them further to subscribed views. (Note: We do not have a native `TVNavigationEventEmitter` implementation on Android, thus this file is slightly modified, e.g. it does pass `null` to `NativeEventEmitter` constructor)
* Added `uiMode` to `AndroidInfoModule`. (**Note**: This required changing `extends BaseJavaModule` to `extends ReactContextBaseJavaModule` to be able to use `getSystemService` which requires `Context` instance!
* Added `isTV` constants to both `Platform.ios.js` (keeping the deprecated `isTVOS` as well) and `Platform.android.js`
* Changed condition check on `Touchable.js` to use the newly added `isTV` flag to properly handle TV navigation events on Android as well
* Added `LEANBACK_LAUNCHER` to `RNTester` `intent-filter` so that it is possible to launch it on Android TV devices.
* See also a PR to `react-native-website` repo with updated docs for Android TV: https://github.com/facebook/react-native-website/pull/59
- [ ] Fix `TextInput` components handling by allowing them to be focused and making a proper navigation between them (and/or other components) possible. One thing to note here that the default behavior to immediately open software keyboard when focused on `TextInput` field will need to be adjusted on Android TV as well)
- [x] Fix overlay permissions issue by changing the way redbox/dev menu are displayed (see: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/16596)
- [ ] Adjust placement of TV-related files (e.g. the `TVEventHandler.js` file is placed inside `AppleTV` directory which is not accurate, since it does handle Android TV events as well)
