Research direction

Start by locating CollectionViewHostCell and inspect how it hosts the view or child View. Verify how iOS drag-and-drop accessibility descriptors are currently assigned, then ensure the relevant host and child elements expose the needed descriptors so drag and drop applies; confirm behavior with the project's existing tests or accessibility checks if available.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

From internal comment/bug:

iOS assigns accessibilityDragSourceDescriptors and accessibilityDropPointDescriptors to the cell, but doesn't look up the hierarchy from elements to their ancestors to see if drag and drop applies, If this cell were directly isAccessibilityElement = YES then this would not be a problem, but since we're hosting something else which (may be) an accessibility element, we need to find it and copy over the location descriptors so drag&drop applies.

So CollectionViewHostCell needs to set these properties on its host view (and maybe on the child View itself too?)
