Cannot move through long lists item by item with VoiceOver

[charypar]

Description of issue

On iOS with VoiceOver, stepping through items truncates the list. It is necessary to use the scroll gesture to force the list to pick up further items and make them available for stepping through.

This is a known React Native issue: facebook/react-native#13743

Works fine on Android.

Expected behaviour

User can step through the entire list using the back and forward gestures, or the skip gesture (e.g. in headline mode)

Steps to reproduce

1. Open the events list with VoiceOver on
2. step through the items until the 'next' gesture does not get you any further
3. swipe up with three fingers (scrolling to the "next page"), new items are revealed and can be stepped through

OS / Browser / Device model

iOS 11.1, iPhone 7

@charypar is this something we can fix? Or do we need to wait for React Native to fix this?

There might be some workaround, but I'm not sure. AirBnB have a fix for it in their RN fork and it looks like the original issue was closed...
