Description

If accessibilityStates is set to [disabled] it can not be removed on iOS by setting accessibilityStates to empty array or null. The Accessibility Inspector still shows the button as disabled.

Reproducible Demo

Simple attached App.js to reproduce by activating button on switch. (needed to rename to txt)

I'm having the same problem with the the 'selected' option for accessibilityStates -- once the state is set to 'selected', it can't be removed.

Yep - this should really get fixed!
One possible workaround is to force recreating of your element, setting something like key=new Date() but it doesn't help in all cases (for example if your element has an animation)

that key trick worked for me, thanks :)
