[a11y] TalkBack announces PopupMenuButton incorrectly #147043
Description
Steps to reproduce
When a PopupMenuButton widget receives accessibility focus on iOS it is announced by VoiceOver as "show menu, button" but on Android (13), TalkBack announces it as "detected, icon, more, button, show menu, double tap to activate".
Expected results
TalkBack should announce in the same way as VoiceOver "show menu, button".
Actual results
TalkBack announces the popup menu button as "detected, icon, more, button, show menu, double tap to activate".

Thanks for the report. I do see the same behavior as reported. However, the difference in reading a button may well be platform-dependent. Will be interesting to see if this is specific to
PopupMenuButtononly or other material widgets / buttons show same behavior.stable, master flutter doctor -v
