Select does not work with VoiceOver

Describe the bug The Singe Select Input (e.g., at https://choices-js.github.io/Choices) cannot be operated using iOS VoiceOver. Although you can navigate to the Select menu—and it is read aloud and opens—you cannot then use right-swipe gestures to navigate to the individual options. This makes it difficult for people with disabilities to have the options read aloud and ultimately make a selection. Instead, it jumps to the next element and reads that one aloud.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to 'https://choices-js.github.io/Choices'
  2. Scroll down to 'Single select input'
  3. Activate VoiceOver
  4. Trying to have the individual options read aloud using swipe gestures

Expected behavior Each option could be visited via gestures vie VoiceOver.
