Summary
Since
SliderTrack
is Pressable, screen readers focus on SliderTrack instead of SliderThumb. However, SliderTrack has no control over slider values.This PR connects react-native-aria's inputProps to SliderThumb and allows screen readers to access the slider.
In addition to this PR, the issue also need to fix GeekyAnts/react-native-aria#23 due to a bug in the behavior of react-native-aria.
