Code Review

This pull request reverts a previous commit that introduced multi-view support for accessibility announcements. The original change, which added a viewId to SemanticsService.announce and related APIs, is being reverted due to causing internal breakages.

The revert is comprehensive, touching files across the framework, engine, and tests. Key changes include:

  • The SemanticsService.announce API is restored to its previous signature, removing the viewId and the sendAnnouncement variant.
  • The native Windows implementation in AccessibilityPlugin now uses a hardcoded kImplicitViewId, with a TODO added to track re-enabling multi-view support.
  • All call sites in the framework and integration tests have been updated to use the reverted API.
  • Tests have been updated to reflect the API change, with some tests now using test() instead of testWidgets() as the WidgetTester is no longer required.

The changes appear to be a correct and complete revert, aimed at restoring stability.

Detected the emergency label.

If you add the autosubmit label, the bot will wait until all presubmits pass but ignore the tree status, allowing fixes for tree breakages while still validating that they don't break any existing presubmits.

The "Merge" button is also unlocked. To bypass presubmits as well as the tree status, press the GitHub "Add to Merge Queue".
