Screen Reader: Sign in: The 'Licenses' link is not focused and announced #77543
Description
Action Performed:
- Using Android TalkBack, open the Expensify app
- Swipe and try to focus the 'Licenses' link in the footer
Expected Result:
The link should be focused and announced with a link role and its visible name 'Licenses'.
Actual Result:
When a user navigates using TalkBack swipes, the "Licenses" link is skipped in the focus sequence. As a result, the user receives no auditory indication that the link exists, rendering the content inaccessible.
