Buttons not accessible on Android

Description

The button components (like BorderlessButton and RectButton) are not clickable using the Talkback feature on Android.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Use code listed below (this is generating using react-native init with added react-native-gesture-handler as a dependency)
2. Enable Talkback on your Android phone
3. Attempt to click on the buttons using the talkback feature

Expected behavior

I expect the buttons “Rect button” and “Borderless button” to trigger their onPress callbacks, just like the “My button” does (which is from react-native itself)

Actual behavior

No onPress is being triggered on the react-native-gesture-handler buttons.

Snack or minimal code example

/**
 * Sample React Native App
 * https://github.com/facebook/react-native
 *
 * @format
 * @flow strict-local
 */

import React from 'react';
import {
  SafeAreaView,
  ScrollView,
  View,
  Text,
  StatusBar,
  Button
} from 'react-native';

import {RectButton, BorderlessButton} from 'react-native-gesture-handler'

const App: () => React$Node = () => {
  return (
    <>
      <StatusBar barStyle="dark-content" />
      <SafeAreaView>
        <ScrollView
          contentInsetAdjustmentBehavior="automatic">
            {/*Does not work*/}
            <RectButton onPress={() => console.log('press rect button')}>
              <View accessible>
                <Text>Rect button</Text>
              </View>
            </RectButton>
            {/*Does not work*/}
            <BorderlessButton onPress={() => console.log('press borderless button')}>
              <View accessible>
                <Text>Borderless button</Text>
              </View>
            </BorderlessButton>
            {/*Works*/}
            <Button title="My button" onPress={() => console.log('react-native button')}/>
        </ScrollView>
      </SafeAreaView>
    </>
  );
};

export default App;

Hi! I tried the snack by @tdekoning and while it’s not working on Expo 42 (as selected in the snack), it does for me after changing the Expo SDK version to 44 (keep in mind you need to add <GestureHandlerRootView> to the top of the hierarchy then). Could you check if the issue still persists after upgrading?

Running into this with the AccessibilityInspector on the iOS Simulator as well. The view is accessible and has the correct labels, but the press action does nothing.

If we wanted to look into this, any tips on where to start?
