**Overview:**
When a message is sent to a live region during a focus change, VoiceOver does not reliably announce the message.
**Steps to Reproduce:**

2. Enable VoiceOver
3. Click the button to open the modal
4. Wait for VoiceOver to finish announcing context about the new view
5. **Issue**: Notice that the announcement “Modal has been opened” is not heard
6. Close the modal using “Escape” or “X”
7. VoiceOver Safari Issue: Notice that the announcement “Modal has been closed” is not heard
**Actual Result:**
"Modal has been opened" and "Modal has been closed" aria-live announcements are not read out by VoiceOver.

Announcements should be read out by VoiceOver.

I've determined this is a VoiceOver issue. I have moved the bug to that component
