Description

When accessibilityLabel set to the element in react-native code it translates to the iOS name/label, but all parent element's name/label accumulate accessibilityLabel value of a child element.

In Appium inspector it's looks like:

<e1 name ='label 2 label 1'>
  <e2 name ='label 2'>
    <e3 name ='label 1'>
      <e4 name ='label 1'>

But in native code:

<e1>
  <e2 accessibilityLabel ='label 2'>
    <e3>
      <e4 accessibilityLabel ='label 1'>

It completely ruins all efforts to automate testing of iOS app built from react-native code.
I investigated this issue and found it appears from work of RCTRecursiveAccessibilityLabel() function, which called in RCTView.m file in this code:

- (NSString *)accessibilityLabel
{
  NSString *label = super.accessibilityLabel;
  if (label) {
    return label;
  }
  return RCTRecursiveAccessibilityLabel(self);
}

Change return RCTRecursiveAccessibilityLabel(self); to return nil; - fix this issue, so I suggest this code changes to be implemented.
