Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When trying to debug focus issues (keyboard and screen reader) I'll frequently open up my app inside android studio and use the inspector so I can debug the issue. For example, recently our app was sending keyboard focus to nonvisible elements while I was using the TabIndex features of Application Insights on Android. I've hit similar issues with screen reader focus. If I hit issues like this then I'll use Inspector inside Android Studio to figure out what element has "accessibilityFocused" set to true or "focused" to true.

Describe the desired outcome

It'd be helpful if I could see a "current state" of things inside Application Insights. If it could show/tell me what element currently has accessibilityFocus/keyboard focus.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Using Appium or Android Studio to inspect my elements

As called out at https://github.com/microsoft/accessibility-insights-web#notice, we will not be making further investments in the Android scanning solution. As such, we're closing this out.

Thanks for your interest in Accessibility Insights!
