Description

If you create an ImageView in an xml file and then in the controller try to set accessibilityLabel or accessibilityValue it will not take effect. You can verify this with my example code attached and run the app with Accessibility Inspector turned on. You can click on the text and see the accessibility label being set, but not the ImageView. This is affecting our ability to run automated tests using the accessibility information.

FR passed. Accessibility label, value and hint returned successfully in both classic and alloy apps. Waiting on Jenkins build to pass.
