Hey! 👋 I'm trying to get the macOS VoiceOver working for Flutter websites and Flutter macOS apps. However, it's not working. It's working for all other macOS apps or all other websites except that one created with Flutter.

I tested the https://gallery.flutter.dev for web and pulled the https://github.com/flutter/gallery (11.11.2022) repository to build & test the macOS (with v3.5.0-10.0.pre.121).

Steps to reproduce

  1. Go to https://gallery.flutter.dev
  2. Enable VoiceOver in your macOS settings
  3. Navigate with the tab key

What I would expect

I would expect that VoiceOver is working like it shown in this video by Flutter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6Sx0lBP8PI
