Summary:
**PR changes**
The RCTText class originally overrode the accessibilityLabel and returned the raw text of the class ignoring if the accessibilityLabel was set explicitly in code.
Example:
<Text accessibilityLabel="Example"> Hello World </Text> // returns "Hello World" instead of "Example" for the accessibility label
My update checks if the super's accessibilityLabel is not nil and returns the value else it returns the raw text itself as a default to mirror what a UIKit's UILabel does. The super's accessibilityLabel is nil if the accessibilityLabel is not ever set in code. I don't check the length of the label because if the value was set to an empty purposely then it will respect that and return whatever was set in code.
With the new changes:
<Text accessibilityLabel="Example"> Hello World </Text> // returns "Example" for the accessibilityLabel
This change doesn't support nested <Text> components with both accessibilityLabel's value set respectively. The parent's value will return.
Example:
// returns "Example" instead of "Example Test" for the accessibility label
<Text accessibilityLabel="Example">
Hello
<Text accessibilityLabel="Test">
World
</Text>
</Text>
The workaround is just to set the only the parent view's accessibilityLabel with the label desired for it and all its nested views or just not nest the views if possible.
I believe a bigger change would be needed to support accessibility for nested views, for now the changes I have made should satisfy the requirements.

Summary:
This PR solves issue #13618.
Selectable text still behaves the same way:
```jsx
<Text selectable={true}>yo yo yo</Text>
```
Text that is not selectable and has a custom tooltip now do not include the copy item:
```jsx
import * as React from 'react';
import { Text } from 'react-native';
import ToolTip from 'react-native-tooltip';
const MyComponent = () => (
<Text>
<Text>This is my text.</Text>
<ToolTip
actions={[
{text: 'My', onPress: (): any => null },
{text: 'Context', onPress: (): any => null },
{text: 'Menu', onPress: (): any => null },
]}
underlayColor='transparent'
longPress={true}
arrowDirection='down'
>
<Text>You can long press me for a tooltip.</Text>
</ToolTip>
<Text>This is the rest of my text</Text>
</Text>
);
export default MyComponent;
```

Summary:
To make React Native play nicely with our internal build infrastructure we need to properly namespace all of our header includes.
Where previously you could do `#import "RCTBridge.h"`, you must now write this as `#import <React/RCTBridge.h>`. If your xcode project still has a custom header include path, both variants will likely continue to work, but for new projects, we're defaulting the header include path to `$(BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR)/usr/local/include`, where the React and CSSLayout targets will copy a subset of headers too. To make Xcode copy headers phase work properly, you may need to add React as an explicit dependency to your app's scheme and disable "parallelize build".

Summary:
This diff refactors the view update process into two stages:
1. The `reactSubviews` array is set, whose order matches the order of the JS components and shadowView components, as specified by the UIManager.
2. The `didUpdateReactSubviews` method is called, which actually inserts the reactSubviews into the view hierarchy.
This simplifies a lot of the hacks we had for special-case treatment of subviews: In many cases we don't want to actually insert `reactSubviews` into the parentView, and we had a bunch of component-specific solutions for that (typically overriding all of the reactSubviews methods to store views in an array). Now, we can simply override the `didUpdateReactSubviews` method for those views to do nothing, or do something different.

Summary:
Previously, only Text and Image could be nested within Text. Now, any
view can be nested within Text. One restriction of this feature is
that developers must give inline views a width and a height via
the style prop.
Previously, inline Images were supported by using iOS's built-in support
for rendering images with an NSAttributedString via NSTextAttachment.
However, NSAttributedString doesn't support rendering arbitrary views.
This change adds support for nesting views within Text by creating one
NSTextAttachment per inline view. The NSTextAttachments act as placeholders.
They are set to be the size of the corresponding view. After the text is
laid out, we query the text system to find out where it has positioned each
NSTextAttachment. We then position the views to be at those locations.
This commit also contains a change in `RCTShadowText.m`
`_setParagraphStyleOnAttributedString:heightOfTallestSubview:`. It now only sets
`lineHeight`, `textAlign`, and `writingDirection` when they've actua

Summary:**Motivation**
Multiple instances of `Text` inside a `ListView` is a bad idea for the performance of the app.
When you create 1000 elements and you scroll through the list it is really slow and laggy because the `NSTextStorage`, which is the backbone of the `RCTText` element, will set more than 1,000 times and also the method `setNeedsDisplay` is called multiple times. This will causes huge memory problems and the app crashes.
With this commit I check in `RCTText` if the `NSTextStorage` differs from the old value. If yes then set it otherwise don't set the `NSTextStorage`. This will prevent to call `setNeedsDisplay` when not really needed.

Summary:
public
Blending semitransparent pixels against their background is fairly a fairly expensive operation on mobile GPUs. To reduce blending, React Native has a system called "background color propagation", where the background color of parent views is automatically inherited by child views unless explicitly overridden. This means that translucent pixels can be blended directly against a known background color, avoiding the need to do this dynamically on the GPU.
In practice, this is only useful for views that do their own drawing, which is basically just `<Image/>` and `<Text/>` components, and for image components it only really matters when the image has an alpha component.
The automatic background propagation is a bit of a hack, and often does the wrong thing - for example if a view overflows its bounds, or if it overlaps a sibling, the background color will often be incorrect and need to be manually disabled. Because the only place that it provides a significant performance benefit is for text, this diff disables the behavior for everything except `<Text/>` nodes. It might still be useful for `<Image/>` nodes too, but looking through the examples in UIExplorer, the number of places where it does the wrong thing for images outnumbers the cases where it provides significant reduction in blending.
Note that this diff does not prevent you from eliminating blending on image components by manually setting an opaque background color, nor does it stop you from disabling color propagation on text components by manually setting a transparent background.

Summary:
Previously the text highlight overlay did not take padding into account in its positioning, so it would be misaligned for padded text. This fixes that.
Summary:
This diff implements highlighting of tapped text subranges for the iOS `<Text>` component, styled to match how iOS webkit views highlight links (translucent grey overlay with rounded corners).
Highlighting is enabled by default for any `<Text>` component which has an onPress handler. To disable the highlight, add `suppressHighlighting={true}` to the component props.
Summary:

This fixes an issue with the containerBackgroundColor property of `<Text>` nodes, where containerBackgroundColor was being overridden by the backgroundColor. I also fixed up the example so that it demonstrates the feature more clearly.
Test Plan:
* Check UIExplorer text example
* Run Catalyst snapshot tests and check MAdMan, Groups
Summary:
Fixes#979.
Previously, a Text whose width is determined automatically (as opposed to set by a container) would position the text incorrectly after an update to the text *if* the text's width did not change (i.e., when changing only digits in a font with tabular numbers).
Every time RCTShadowText's RCTMeasure runs, it sets the text container's size to be the maximum allowed size for the text. When RCTText's drawRect is called later, it relied on layoutSubviews having been called to set the text container's size back to the proper width. But if RCTMeasure returned the same dimensions as last time, then RCTText's frame wasn't reset and so layoutSubviews was never re-called. With this change, we set the textContainer's size each time we draw the text.
We could also fix this by using a different NSTextContainer instance in RCTMeasure. Not sure what the pros and cons of that are.

Summary:
For a very simple view I was observing that the text background was black and had to manually be set to transparent. This ensures that text nodes have a transparent background by default.

Test Plan:
This example component no longer renders what looks like a black block, and instead displays legible text.
var Example = React.createClass({
render: function() {
return (
<View style={styles.container}>
<Text>hello</Text>
</View>
);
},
});
var styles = StyleSheet.create({
container: {
flex: 1,
},
};
