Demo Repo https://mermaid.github.io/ios-voiceover-focus-bug/

While using voiceover in iOS, you cannot programmatically send focus to an element if that element contains HTML.
This is important because on a single page application, when swapping out the content on the page, we need announce that and then re-focus the topmost element and announce it to the user. This issue only occurs on iOS, Voiceover on MacOS works as expected.

this should be fixed in iOS14, the first beta which is now available

I tested using the included test page and the behavior is the same as before on iOS 14 beta. There has been no change in behavior, it does not appear to be fixed
