Summary:
This feature has been requested by customers. Our previous (pre-react) application had support for custom accessibility actions.
This feature allows UI elements to provide a list of custom actions that can be read when VoiceOver is enabled. UI elements expose one accessibility action by default. Some UI elements may support multiple actions though other mechanisms like tap and hold. To expose these actions in an accessible way iOS provides custom accessibility actions.
Feature was tested in the iOS simulator using the Accessibility Inspector. Custom actions were added to a button and observed in the tool. Custom actions were also invoked using the tool and then stepped through in the debugger.
The feature was also tested on an iPhone. VoiceOver was enabled on the device and custom actions were observed for controls that exposed them.
We have been using this feature in our app for some time as well.

Summary: Move the ViewAttributes and StyleAttributes configuration into the
Components library since they're coupled and change with the
native component configuration.
This also decouples StyleAttributes from the reconciler by adding it
to the ReactViewAttributes.
To do that, I refactored the property diffing to allow for recursive
configurations. Now an attribute configuration can be a nested object,
a custom configuration (diff/process) or true.
The requireNativeComponent path incorrectly gets its attributes set up
on the root validAttributes instead of the nested style object.
So I also have to add the nested form. Effectively these currently allow
these attributes on props or nested.
