Description

Taking something like a VerticalStackLayout and putting a GestureRecognizer on it, does NOT make VoiceOver say that the control is interactable. On Android, this works out of the box, with TalkBack saying: "Double tap to activate", but on iOS, VoiceOver says absolutely nothing.

This can be somewhat fixed by adding SemanticProperties.Hint. That causes VoiceOver to refer to the control as a "Button", but the downside is that all child elements will be ignored. So any labels inside the VerticalStackLayout are now completely ignored

Steps to Reproduce

1. Turn on VoiceOver on iOS.
2. Open repro.
3. Verify that on the VerticalStackLayout without SemanticProperties.Hint there is no explanation that it is interactable.
4. Verify that on the VerticalStackLayout with SemanticProperties.Hint, all child Labels are ignored.

Did you find any workaround?

Adding SemanticProperties.Hint="Some text" does make VoiceOver describe the control as a "Button".
But all child elements are now ignored, so it becomes a lot more effort to make it work.
