# C+ reactions page cont, sending flow discussions - Wed 16th September, 2020

Continued building out the all reactions page in C+. It was fairly standard, but a few useful learnings.

I had trouble with `zIndex` on Android. The fix was to use [the Android-only elevation prop](https://reactnative.dev/docs/view-style-props#elevation)

The equivalent of `aria-hidden` in React Native is:

**iOS:** `accessibilityElementsHidden={true}`
**Android:**`importantForAccessibility="no-hide-descendants"`

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35230632/is-there-any-way-to-hide-a-view-to-screen-readers-like-aria-hidden-does-in

The team and I also had extensive discussions around C+'s sending flow setup for sending recognition. I'm not going to go into all the details, but the sending flow screens and logic will require substantial overhaul. 

This is frustrating to have this added complexity now with a relatively tight deadline to deliver v1 of the rebuilt app, but I suppose it's good to clarify these types of issues as soon as possible.
