Summary: Previously published by [grgr-dkrk][2] as [https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/31296][3], fixes the following issues: 1) ImportantForAccessibility="no" does not work on Text, Button 2) ImportantForAccessibility="no-hide-descendants" does not work on Text, Button, or ImageBackground. Note: On ImageBackground, focus is prevented on the imageBackground node itself, but focus is not prevented on its descendants. Note: [Button component expected behavior for prop importantForAccessibility][4] >Some components like Button seem like atomic units, but they end up rendering a hierarchy of components for example a wrapper View with a Text inside them. Allowing those descendants to become focusable, breaks the model of these being a single component to consider and forcing no-hide-descendants makes sense here. >The other option is always to render any descendants of these elements with importantForAccessibility="no", so they can never be focusable on their own. This would have the same result, **BUT may potentially cause issues when the descendant content is supposed to automatically get moved up to the focusable ancestor to act as a label** (which is what Talkback does with unfocusable text elements by default). Note: [importantForAccessibility="no" does not allow screenreader focus on nested Text Components with accessibilityRole="link" or inline Images][5] fixes https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/30850 related https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/33690 ## Changelog [Android] [Fixed] - adding importantForAccessibility for Text, Button, ImageBackground Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/34245 Test Plan: 1) testing ImageBackground importantForAccessiblity ([link to test][1]) 2) importantForAccessibility="no" does not allow screenreader focus on nested Text Components with accessibilityRole="link" or inline Images ([link to test][5]) 3) testing ImageBackground importantForAccessiblity ([link to test][6]) 4) Button with importantForAccessibility=no ([link to test][7]) [1]: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/31296#issuecomment-1192341626 "" [2]: https://github.com/grgr-dkrk "grgr-dkrk" [3]: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/31296 "https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/31296" [4]: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/31296#discussion_r616184584 "expected behaviour with prop importantForAccessibility in Button component" [5]: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/30850#issuecomment-1192286477 "importantForAccessibility=no does not allow screenreader focus on nested Text Components with accessibilityRole=link or inline Images" [6]: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/34245#issuecomment-1192446124 "testing ImageBackground importantForAccessiblity" [7]: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/34245#issuecomment-1192443589 "Button with importantForAccessibility=no" Reviewed By: cipolleschi Differential Revision: D38121992 Pulled By: dmitryrykun fbshipit-source-id: 368b4dcb47d7940274820aa2e39ed5e2ca068821
React Native
Learn once, write anywhere:
Build mobile apps with React.
Getting Started · Learn the Basics · Showcase · Contribute · Community · Support
React Native brings React's declarative UI framework to iOS and Android. With React Native, you use native UI controls and have full access to the native platform.
- Declarative. React makes it painless to create interactive UIs. Declarative views make your code more predictable and easier to debug.
- Component-Based. Build encapsulated components that manage their state, then compose them to make complex UIs.
- Developer Velocity. See local changes in seconds. Changes to JavaScript code can be live reloaded without rebuilding the native app.
- Portability. Reuse code across iOS, Android, and other platforms.
React Native is developed and supported by many companies and individual core contributors. Find out more in our ecosystem overview.

📋 Requirements
React Native apps may target iOS 12.4 and Android 5.0 (API 21) or newer. You may use Windows, macOS, or Linux as your development operating system, though building and running iOS apps is limited to macOS. Tools like Expo can be used to work around this.
🎉 Building your first React Native app
Follow the Getting Started guide. The recommended way to install React Native depends on your project. Here you can find short guides for the most common scenarios:
📖 Documentation
The full documentation for React Native can be found on our website.
The React Native documentation discusses components, APIs, and topics that are specific to React Native. For further documentation on the React API that is shared between React Native and React DOM, refer to the React documentation.
The source for the React Native documentation and website is hosted on a separate repo, @facebook/react-native-website.
🚀 Upgrading
Upgrading to new versions of React Native may give you access to more APIs, views, developer tools, and other goodies. See the Upgrading Guide for instructions.
React Native releases are discussed in this discussion repo.
