Wandji Emmanuel junior 626568f9a3 fix(android): Stabilize custom accessibility action IDs for TalkBack (#52724)
Summary:
This pull request resolves a critical accessibility bug on Android where custom `accessibilityActions` fail to execute when activated via TalkBack's swipe gestures.

**The Problem:**
- When a user focuses a component with custom `accessibilityActions` (like a `TouchableOpacity`), TalkBack correctly announces the action labels as the user swipes up or down.
- However, when the user double-taps to activate the selected action, TalkBack reports an "incompatible action," and the `onAccessibilityAction` event is never triggered.

**The Root Cause:**
The investigation revealed that the `ReactAccessibilityDelegate` was generating **new, unstable IDs** for custom actions on every UI update. This instability prevents the Android accessibility service from reliably tracking and invoking the selected action.

**The Solution:**
This change introduces a static, thread-safe cache (`ConcurrentHashMap`) within `ReactAccessibilityDelegate`. This ensures that each unique action name is mapped to a single, stable ID for the entire lifecycle of the application. This provides the consistency required by TalkBack to function correctly.

This addresses the issue described in https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/47268.

## Changelog:

[Android] [Fixed] - Stabilize custom accessibility action IDs to prevent "incompatible action" errors in TalkBack.

Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/52724

Test Plan:
The fix was validated extensively using the RNTester app on a physical Android device and an Android emulator.

### Steps to Reproduce (Before Fix)

1.  Enable TalkBack on an Android device.
2.  Navigate to a `TouchableOpacity` component with several custom `accessibilityActions`.
3.  Swipe up or down to cycle through the actions. TalkBack correctly announces them (e.g., "add to cart").
4.  Double-tap to execute the selected action.
5.  **Result (Bug):** TalkBack announces *"incompatible action"*, and the `onAccessibilityAction` event is not triggered.

### Validation Steps (After Fix)

1.  Follow the same steps as above on the patched version.
2.  **Result (Fixed):** After double-tapping, the `onAccessibilityAction` event is **correctly triggered** with the appropriate action name. The "incompatible action" issue is fully resolved.

*A screen recording demonstrating the successful fix can be provided if needed.*

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 15.1 and Android 7.0 (API 24) 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 repository, @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.
