At some point it will be necessary to investigate how to apply the native Accessibility in React-Native.

There is an articule about this here: https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/accessibility.html

With that investigation, we should be able to figure out what is the work we need to do to make Gutenberg Mobile accessible, and create a guideline for all future UI development work to comply to.

Do we have a timeline or estimate for when we'll work on this? I started looking at accessibility in the WPiOS integration and ran into major accessibility issues (no labels for toolbar buttons, block-level buttons completely inaccessible). That's a concern for our users and a blocker for automating tests that use Gutenberg.

Excellent, thanks for the update! @wordpress-mobile/platform-9 also agreed that we're happy to help with adding accessibility labels and identifiers as needed (especially for test automation but also as we come across issues). So once there's a documented/agreed-upon process for making Gutenberg accessible please let us know and we can contribute to any work that's needed in the existing UI!
