Description

In MAUI 9.0.100 a TapGestureRecognizer no longer triggers the Tapped event when Talkback is enabled on an Android device. The gesture is correctly identified and Talkback will announce "Double tap to activate" but the double tap does not trigger the tapped event.

Only an issue on Android. VoiceOver on iOS works as expected.

Steps to Reproduce

Create a new MAUI project.

Add a label with a TapGestureRecognizer

           <Label
                Text="Click me (Label TapGestureRecognizer)"
                SemanticProperties.Hint="Counts the number of times you click"
                BackgroundColor="Red"
                HorizontalOptions="Fill"
                TextColor="White"
                HorizontalTextAlignment="Center"
                Padding="10">
                <Label.GestureRecognizers>
                    <TapGestureRecognizer Tapped="OnCounterClicked" />
                </Label.GestureRecognizers>
            </Label>

On an Android device, turn on Talkback and try to trigger the Tapped event.

Expected result: Tapped event is triggered.
Actual result: Tapped event is not triggered
