Amazing! iOS going stable was not on my bingo card but great to hear! Time to update all the things!

Great to see CMP finally reach stability for iOS — it’s a major milestone. But for real-world adoption, especially in the EU, accessibility can’t be an afterthought.
With the European Accessibility Act coming into force on June 28th (link), accessibility isn’t just a nice-to-have — it’s a legal requirement for any app targeting the European market.
Right now, CMP’s accessibility support on iOS is incomplete. A simple example: CMP-7649 – TextField not recognized as a text input by iOS accessibility
Stability means more than APIs not crashing — it means being production-ready, and that includes full accessibility support.

But in the release notes it explicitly says that accessibility in input fields is supported: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/kotlin-multiplatform-dev/whats-new-compose-180.html#accessible-text-input

I know, but unfortunately I'm experiencing this: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/CMP-7649/Compose-Multiplatform-iOS-accessibility-fails-to-acknowledge-a-TextField-as-a-Text-Input#focus=Comments-27-11773333.0-0
