Hi Folks,

I have a strange behavior of our app on iOS.

When the form is loaded 'confirm password' field has aria-invalid="false".
On Keypress, this data is validated and we remove the attribute, if its
matching the password. But when Done link on the native keyboard is
clicked, focus is set back on the confirm field and that input is announces
as invalid entry.
Here is a video recording on what i mean: https://youtu.be/3zn0kWyClUQ

Remote debugging on Safari, found that aria-invalid doesn't even exist.
Swiping back and swiping in sometimes reads it correctly.

Any thoughts on this behavior?

Thanks
