NativeAccessibilityManager.setAccessibilityContentSizeMultipliers(…) not actually changing defaults

Description

On new architecture, NativeAccessibilityManager.setAccessibilityContentSizeMultipliers(…) seems to not actually update the rendered text scales on iOS over the default values hardcoded in https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/main/packages/react-native/React/Base/RCTUtils.mm#L366-L377. On old architecture, these reflect immediately.

Reproducible with Expo 53 in 0.79.5, 0.80.1 (npx expo install expo@canary --fix), and 0.80.2 (yarn add react-native@0.80.2).

• Calling it on JavaScript initialization (outside/before render) doesn't work either.
• Interestingly, JS and event handlers report the updated values but the actual rendering does not change. I believe that is why this rn-tester AccessibilityManagerTest still passes.
• As would be expected, patching the values in RCTUtils.mm before building react-native does reflect so these are the ones being used by Fabric.

Aside: I'm not sure what the plan is forNativeAccessibilityManager given the move away from exposing private APIs but the community probably does need a way to update these values.

Steps to reproduce

1. Open https://snack.expo.dev/@shollington-popeyes/fc57d4 (just App.js modified).
2. Make sure you are in non-large Font Scaling mode (iOS settings or button at the bottom of Snack).
3. Click the "Change Accessibility Multipliers" button and observe no actual change in font scaling.

Old Architecture	New Architecture

Inizia dai valori predefiniti hardcoded in packages/react-native/React/Base/RCTUtils.mm e traccia come NativeAccessibilityManager raggiunge Fabric su iOS. Confronta quel percorso con rn-tester/IntegrationTests/AccessibilityManagerTest.js e riproduci il problema usando lo Snack collegato. Il lavoro è completato quando le modifiche al moltiplicatore a runtime influiscono sul testo renderizzato con la nuova architettura e c’è una copertura per la regressione.
