Description
Requires API Proposal
This issue may require a new API, or a change to an existing API. An API proposal should be added and discussed before proceeding with implementation. The API proposal can be added in the comments of this issue or linked as a separate issue.
This issue has a parent issue #31346 and is intertwined with #30863 & #30862. Please review those issues before working on this one.
Description
Sometimes it is useful to query what accessibility services a user has installed so that you can tailor your app's UI for potential changes that may be necessary if those services are enabled. For example, if a user has the "Select to speak" service installed, you may want to present your UI in an easier-to-select layout with more padding between elements, and only trigger that change when the service is enabled.
React Native version:
v0.63
Expected Behavior
The AccessibilityInfo API should have a way to query a list of installed accessibility services.
Android Details
This functionality is available on the AccessibilityManager class via the getInstalledAccessibilityServiceList method.

I'd like to work on this issue. I'll create documentation explaining how to query installed accessibility services and provide implementation guidance for the AccessibilityInfo API.

Solution for Android: Installed Services
API Proposal
To address this issue, we propose adding a new method to the
AccessibilityInfoAPI,getInstalledAccessibilityServices(). This method will return a list of installed accessibility services on the device.API Signature
Implementation
To implement this API, we will create a new method in the
AccessibilityInfoclass that calls thegetInstalledAccessibilityServiceList()method from theAccessibilityManagerclass.Usage
To use this new API, you can call the
getInstalledAccessibilityServices()method on an instance ofAccessibilityInfo.Example Use Case
To use this API in a React Native component, you can import the
AccessibilityInfoModuleand call thegetInstalledAccessibilityServices()method.This solution provides a new API for querying installed accessibility services on Android devices, which can be used to tailor the app's UI for potential changes that may be necessary if those services are enabled.

API Proposal Discussion:
This API proposal adds a new method to the
AccessibilityInfoAPI to query a list of installed accessibility services. This method returns a list ofAccessibilityServiceInfoobjects, which contain information about each installed accessibility service.The
getInstalledAccessibilityServices()method is implemented by calling thegetInstalledAccessibilityServiceList()method on theAccessibilityManagerclass. This method returns a list of installed accessibility services, which is then returned by thegetInstalledAccessibilityServices()method.This API proposal is designed to provide a simple and efficient way to query the list of installed accessibility services. It does not require any additional permissions or setup, and it can be used in conjunction with other accessibility features in React Native.

I looked at the current
AccessibilityInfoimplementation and the related issues (#30862, #30863, #31346). Since this issue is marked as requiring an API proposal, here is a concrete proposal rather than a code PR.Current state
React Native already has the broad Android boolean/state-change part from #30863:
AccessibilityInfo.isAccessibilityServiceEnabled()returns whether any Android accessibility service is enabled.accessibilityServiceChanged/ the nativeAccessibilityStateChangeListenerlets JS re-query when that broad state changes.What is still missing for #30862 / #30864 is the service-list API: Android exposes
AccessibilityManager.getEnabledAccessibilityServiceList(feedbackTypeFlags)andAccessibilityManager.getInstalledAccessibilityServiceList(), both returningAccessibilityServiceInfoobjects.AccessibilityServiceInfo.getId()provides a stable service id.Android references:
Proposed JS API
Android-only methods on
AccessibilityInfo:A few choices I would recommend:
isAccessibilityServiceEnabled().feedbackTypeFlagstoAccessibilityServiceInfo.FEEDBACK_ALL_MASKon Android, so callers can simply ask for all enabled services.AccessibilityServiceInfo/ResolveInfo. The stableidshould be enough for known services such as TalkBack, Switch Access, Select to Speak, Voice Access, and vendor variants. Additional numeric fields can be exposed if maintainers think they are useful, but labels/descriptions may be better avoided initially because they are localized and increase the API/privacy surface.accessibilityServiceChangedevent instead of adding a list-specific event. Apps can subscribe and re-query either list when Android reports a service-state change.getInstalledAccessibilityServices(), consider computingisEnabledby comparing installed service ids against the enabled list; that lets apps avoid making two native calls for the common “installed but currently disabled” use case.If maintainers are comfortable with this API shape, the implementation looks fairly contained: add the two methods to the native spec, serialize each
AccessibilityServiceInfoinAccessibilityInfoModule.kt, add JS/TS wrappers and tests, and document the Android-only behavior.
