VoiceOver iOS 17.2 regression for role text

Hi all, Since iOs 17.2 all the <div> with the attribute role="text" and attr.aria-label="anytext" are not read by voiceover anymore. Example code: <div class="fontClass" id="idxxx" role="text" attr.aria-label="text to be read"></div>

Could you please help me understand how to solve this issue?

  • We are suffering from this issue as well. Our app, WayAround, is designed for the blind or visually impaired and we have highly tuned markup for VoiceOver support and this has set us way back.
