bug: unintended re-focus to input after selecting clear input button with iOS VoiceOver about ionic-framework

Thanks for the report. Here is a dev build with a proposed fix if you are interested in testing: 8.0.1-dev.11713535425.1a4afba3

Thanks for the issue. This has been resolved via #29366, and a fix will be available in an upcoming release of Ionic Framework. We also plan to backport this to Ionic v7.

Thanks for the response and yes, stop propagation is much simpler approach! The problem is fixed with the version. StackBlitz has some issue installing dev builds as you said in another issue, but in my local project it works as intended.

Also, I understand that updates are primarily targeted at the latest versions, but I was wondering if there might be any possibility of backporting this fix to 7.x.x as well? Our team, along with quite a few others I believe, isn't quite ready to make the jump to 8.x.x just yet, while this fix is essential for screen reader users(especially those who are blind).

Thanks for considering this and for all the hard work you put into Ionic!
