Found while verifying another ticket. VoiceOver is not announcing the role of the component for iOS. So for example Android says "Active 1 of 2. Tab. Review your..." while iOS says "Active 1 of 2. Review your...".

1/2/2025 - @oddballdave is running this down. Currently there is no way to silo directly to iPhone to register for debugging and testing, and the seats that we have are taken. This budget is managed by a different department in VA and we won't know if there will be more seats in the new budget year (July 2025?)
This could be an issue in the code or in ReactNative. More to come.

1/6/2025 - @oddballdave is making changes and progress on this, but it may require a fix to the DS Library, which will determine if the work completes in Sprint 8.

1/7/2025 - per @oddballdave this will be a Design System Library fix - it has to be released to the app stores, then will the fix can be done.

1/8/2025 - move to Sprint 9 since this is dependent on the DS Library update.
