In relation to the accessibility delegate- if you set the role but don't update the className of the custom component these custom buttons won't show up in the item chooser for buttons -- changing the custom button's className in the AccessibilityNodeInfo object will allow that to work and have the role announced without having to set the role - so that would seem to be the preferred approach. If you look at the React Mobile accessiblity library they seem to set both.
