Use case

Problem
The CalendarDatePicker widget currently relies on SemanticsService.sendAnnouncement to communicate its expanded state. However, this method is deprecated on Android as of API 36.

Proposal

To address this, CalendarDatePicker will be migrated to use a live region for state change announcements.
