Description

Build Details:
OS Version: 24H2
OS Build: 26100.5074
App: React Native Gallery Preview
App version: 1.0.18.0
AT Used: Voice access

Pre-Requisite:
Open settings -> Accessibility -> Voice access.
Repro-Steps:
Launch the React Native Gallery-Preview app.
Navigate to 'Left navigation menu' button and invoke it.
Navigate to 'All samples' list item and invoke it.
Navigate to 'Virtualized list' item and invoke it.
Navigate to 'Open modal' button and invoke it.
Give 'Voice access wake up/Turn on voice access' command.
Now give 'Show numbers/Show names' command and observe the behavior of 'Close modal' button.
Actual Result:
The 'Close modal' button is not highlighted or selectable when using the 'Show numbers' or 'Click names' command with Voice access Additionally, when the user issues the 'Click Close modal' command, no action is performed.

Expected Results:
The 'Close modal' button should be properly highlighted and selectable when using the 'Show numbers' or 'Show names' command with Voice access. Additionally, issuing the 'Click Close modal' command should activate the button and navigate the user to the corresponding page.

User Impact:
Speech input users relying on Voice access are unable to access important supplementary information provided by the 'Close modal' button, resulting in reduced accessibility and a potentially incomplete understanding of the feature or content.
