            Bug ID: 257162
           Summary: AX: iOS VO+Safari does not read <summary> role or
                    state
           Product: WebKit
           Version: Safari 16
          Hardware: iPhone / iPad
                OS: iOS 16
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Accessibility
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

Description:
iOS VO+Safari does not read <summary> role or state. Only the text within <summary></summary> is read with no indication of interactivity. Desktop VO+Safari works as expected.

Frequency:
Always, using multiple code samples.

Steps to reproduce/Results:
1. Load any web page using <details><summary> including but not limited to https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml5_details
2. Swipe through the page until the cursor lands on the <summary> content
3. The text content is read, but no interactivity indication of “summary”(as desktop VO reads it) or “button” (as some other SRs read it), and no indication of “expanded”/“collapsed"

Hardware/software used:
Reproduced on an iPad (9th gen) running iOS 16.3.1 and an iPhone SE (2020) running iOS 16.4.1(a)

Additional notes:
• This issue is reflected in this 3rd-party testing grid https://a11ysupport.io/tests/tech__html__details-summary#sr-feature-index-2
• Partial workaround by adding role=“button” to <summary> does result in iOS reading the element as a button. However, also adding aria-expanded does not result in the state being read.
