For a numeric input stepper that can render its value using currency or other Intl.NumberFormat options, we use aria-roledescription to identify the text input as a "Number field". With VoiceOver for iOS, the input role is announced using the aria-roledescription value, however the required state gets omitted. With VoiceOver for macOS, the input role is announced as "edit text", and the required state is announced, which I suspect may be because aria-roledescription is being ignored entirely. The expected behavior would be for states like aria-required to be announced for elements using aria-roledescription. Here is a url to an example comparing the behavior of two inputs, one that has aria-roledescription and a second without: https://codepen.io/majornista/pen/gOLYgZd 1723177 1 webkit-bug-importer 2021-01-27 15:22:29 -0800 <rdar://problem/73682673> 1723903 2 smoley 2021-01-29 15:22:17 -0800 Thanks for filing, I can reproduce this on iOS 13.6.1 and the latest 14.4 beta. Ccing relevant folks. 1723945 3 cfleizach 2021-01-29 16:29:19 -0800 The macOS bug reported (lack of role desc on text field) is a VoiceOver bug. I've sent a clone of the issue to them: (<rdar://problem/73777103> 1723948 4 cfleizach 2021-01-29 16:37:05 -0800 The iOS issue is also in VoiceOver. I will use this radar to fix the issue there. since no webKit change is required, I will close out this bug. You'll be able to check on the iOS issue in the next update. Not sure about macOS right now
