Similarly, I am trying to automate using Appium to locate the clear button for my app, but I am not able to inspect it individually. I am not getting the control for it.

This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity. It will be closed if no further activity occurs. Maybe the issue has been fixed in a recent release, or perhaps it is not affecting a lot of people. If you think this issue should definitely remain open, please let us know why. Thank you for your contributions.

Thanks for the clear bug - this is still an issue.
Looks like this is because we wrap the
RCTTextInputViewcomponent in aTouchableWithoutFeedback. As a workaround, you can useRCTTextInputViewdirectly (e.g.requireNativeComponent('RCTSinglelineTextInputView');)This is part of a more general issue with nested accessibility support that will be tricky to solve: #24515
