Pull request overview
This PR removes the redundant SemanticProperties.Description="Tags Collection" attribute from a CollectionView in the MAUI mobile template to address iOS VoiceOver accessibility issues. The change synchronizes with fixes already applied in the maui-samples repository.
Changes:
- Removed
SemanticProperties.Descriptionattribute from Tags CollectionView element to prevent VoiceOver from treating the entire collection as a single accessibility element, which would hide individual tag items from the accessibility tree

As a result, all child elements (including individual cells) are no longer exposed to the accessibility tree.
This is expected UIKit behavior:
