Autocomplete Select not working with VoiceOver in iOS 18.6.2

Hi apple, and community I would like to ask for help in this topic:

I think this is exactly same problem Combobox not working with VoiceOver after… - Apple Community

VoiceOver also breaks the combobox from the official ARIA W3C website When VO is turned off, I can use the up/down arrow to go through the menu items from the dropdown, but when VO is turned on, the up/down arrows cannot access the dropdown menu items.

Is there an official tutorial on how to control it using voice over?

Kind regards,

Jakub

Instead of pressing the arrow key, do a double-tap and hold on the combo box.
This may bring up the list for VoiceOver to navigate.
After double-tapping the combo box, try exploring by touch—sometimes the items are technically “there” but not automatically read out.
