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.

RNTester
The RNTester showcases React Native views and modules.
Running this app
Before running the app, make sure you ran:
git clone https://github.com/facebook/react-native.git
cd react-native
npm install
Running on iOS
Mac OS and Xcode are required.
- Open
RNTester/RNTester.xcodeprojin Xcode - Hit the Run button
See Running on device if you want to use a physical device.
Running on iOS with CocoaPods
Similar to above, you can build the app via Xcode with help of CocoaPods.
- Install CocoaPods
- Run
cd RNTester; pod install - Open the generated
RNTesterPods.xcworkspace(this is not checked in). Do not openRNTesterPods.xcodeprojdirectly.
Running on Android
You'll need to have all the prerequisites (SDK, NDK) for Building React Native installed.
Start an Android emulator (Genymotion is recommended).
cd react-native
./gradlew :RNTester:android:app:installDebug
./scripts/packager.sh
Note: Building for the first time can take a while.
Open the RNTester app in your emulator.
See Running on Device in case you want to use a physical device.
Running with Buck
Follow the same setup as running with gradle.
Install Buck from here.
Run the following commands from the react-native folder:
./gradlew :ReactAndroid:packageReactNdkLibsForBuck
buck fetch rntester
buck install -r rntester
./scripts/packager.sh
Note: The native libs are still built using gradle. Full build with buck is coming soon(tm).
Built from source
Building the app on both iOS and Android means building the React Native framework from source. This way you're running the latest native and JS code the way you see it in your clone of the github repo.
This is different from apps created using react-native init which have a dependency on a specific version of React Native JS and native code, declared in a package.json file (and build.gradle for Android apps).
