.NET MAUI Accessibility

Critical Platform Gotchas

1. Don't set Description on Label

Setting SemanticProperties.Description on a Label overrides the Text property for screen readers. The label may be read twice or behave unexpectedly.

<!-- ❌ Stops Text from being read naturally -->
<Label Text="Welcome"
       SemanticProperties.Description="Welcome" />

<!-- ✅ Screen reader reads Text automatically -->
<Label Text="Welcome" />

2. Android Entry/Editor: Description breaks TalkBack actions
