VoiceOver for iOS does not announce the required state for an input element with both aria-required="true" and aria-roledescription.
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

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>

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
