[tvOS] VoiceOver Skips Description Text When Info Panel Opens in AVPlayerViewController

When the native info panel (which displays the title, subtitle, description, and custom buttons) opens, the focus immediately shifts to the first button. As a result, VoiceOver skips the description, which is crucial for users relying on accessibility features.

I haven’t found a way to detect when it opens. Knowing this would allow me to trigger custom VoiceOver announcements or adjust the focus order dynamically.

Are any other people experiencing this issue, and how do we solve it?
